Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

Last week was rain, but this week we have some beautiful Autumn sunlight. I love the way the wind gusts and the leaves fall towards the end. Of course, another cameo from my handsome furry assistant as he checks for crumbs in the shelter built by our local outdoor nursery 🐾

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

For our mindful moment this week we're listening to the rain from the shelter of the trees. Who else can relate to that feeling of comfort when you hear the sound of rain all around you while staying sheltered?

Really excited for this! An amazing lineup of live talks and soooo many recorded talks too. It's well worth attending if you're interested in creating positive change for animals, people and the planet. You'll also get access to a library of resources available after the conference too, so it's worth signing up just for that!

Contact me for a cheeky discount code if you fancy joining us 🤫

The live programme for our HBCL's Behaviour Change Conference Week is here!

We’ve also got around 80 fantastic pre-recorded talks being released throughout the week, so you can dip in and watch them whenever works for you.

Our live talks will be recorded and added to the platform too but they’ll be interactive, with opportunities to ask questions, join discussions and connect with other HBC geeks, so if you can make it live, we’d definitely recommend it.

Everything will build into a behaviour change library, with the talks, discussions and sessions available to everyone who’s registered well beyond the conference week itself.

So book your place, clear a bit of space in your diary and come and join us for a week of human behaviour change geekery! Book your place at https://hbcl-online-learning.thinkific.com/courses/HBCL-conference

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

This week we're watching pond skaters, which I find oddly mesmerising! I love how they create such large ripples and travel so far and fast relative to their body size (if only I were that strong in the pool!). I also love the reflection of the trees and canopy above as the wind gently blows. Simple and peaceful joys 💚💙

This week we're exploring the textures, shapes and sounds of broom! I love how twisty-turny the seed pods go once they have popped open and shed their seeds. I also love their hairy pods and the sound they make when you rattle them to hear the seeds inside.

If you listen closely, you can hear them popping at the beginning and towards the end of this video (among the lovely willow warbler warbling!).

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

We're back in the rainforest on that beautiful, bright and blustery day. This time we stop to eat some blaeberries, which is the Scottish name for bilberries – a close relative of blueberries 🫐 These were delicious earlier this year, along with the rasberries and now the brambles. I do love a mid walk snack!

Just make sure you're 100% certain you know what a plant is before you nibble! 🌿

Monday Mindful Moment 🌿✨

Today we spend some time watching a herd of semi-wild Exmoor ponies enjoying life 🐴🌿

Exmoor ponies are an amazing breed that can play an important role in supporting biodiversity, and the wonderful folk at Sauchie Home Farm have taken in these ponies as part of their rewilding efforts. It was so lovely to watch them living together with minimal human intervention, grazing, exploring and simply being ponies.

I met them as part of an amazing event with Julia Duncan Grounded Horsemanship and Dr Debbie Davy, where we learnt all about how these ponies perceive and experience their world, the incredible things they can do for biodiversity, and the urgent need to act now to help prevent their extinction.

We were lucky enough to have one very curious and bold mare come and investigate us and say hello. Such a special moment 💖
