Spring is a season of new beginnings, a fresh start. What a wonderful time to head for the mountains for a reset!
Breathe deeply, inhaling the fresh mountain air. Allow it to bring new life to your sedentary winter body.
Feel the earth’s energy as new life springs from the soil and the landscape moves into shades of green and all the colours of the rainbow as the flowers emerge.
Hear the excited chatter of the birds welcoming each new day and the opportunity to nest and raise their young.
The sun rises ever earlier to make the most of this new season of growth
Sense the tension as we await our first rains…to clean winter’s dust away and bring a new vibrance to the landscape
