There was a real gift given to me in 2018, an alignment of the stars. This gift was Aro Ha Wellness Retreat, and the job they offered me…

Forest Bathing: Relax and Live a Little Longer
Forest Bathing: Relax and Live a Little Longer

Studies show that simply being in a forest promotes lower concentrations of cortisol (the stress hormone), lowers our pulse rate, lowers blood pressure, increases parasympathetic nerve activity and lowers sympathetic nerve activity. What have we got to loose?

Atop of The World... Christmas upon a Mountaintop
Atop of The World... Christmas upon a Mountaintop

In the southern hemisphere, Christmas is a little different than back home… the height of summer scorches the grass brown, allergies are rife as the bees pollinate the shit out of the beautiful blossoming flowers, and family are a long way away.

Able Bodied, Able Minded... Abel Tasman: A Great Walk
Able Bodied, Able Minded... Abel Tasman: A Great Walk

Not many days pass by in this country where I don’t appreciate my able body... Hours spent out in the sun, in the rain, in the wide open spaces, and amongst the minty forest air. Spectacular, gorgeous in it’s detail, full of surprises, New Zealand is a perfect land to unleash the inner explorer.

Alive with our 2018 pre-Christmas spirit, five of us road-tripped from Queenstown to the north-west coast of the South Island to walk the Great Walk, the Abel Tasman Track. Here’s the highlight reel!

Early morning stretches
Early morning stretches

This winter's morning was fresh, clear, and still; a perfect Monday dawn. Vicky and I climbed the nearest peak to photograph some mountainous stretches and moves, and stayed until our fingers were cold and noses red.

Refreshing my approach... With a cold dip.

2018 has been an odd year for photography and me. I've stepped away from shooting, giving myself a break, allowing myself to connect with life outside of the medium, and hoping I'd find a refreshed connection with photography itself. Here’s some reflections I have from the last 6 months…

Be a force for positive change.

In a world that can be difficult and often negative, creating more positivity makes it a better place for all of us. How are you a force for positive change? And how can we be better?

The eyes really are the windows to the soul. Through them, we see the light that lives within, the unchanging soul that is fuelled by love alone. . Eye contact is something I’ve found challenging over the years, something I’ve now come to value highly, and actively practice. Look someone in the eyes and give them your complete, undivided attention... they’ll feel valued, they’ll feel listened too. That’s powerful. Namaste. . These eyes belong to the beautiful & caring @tara_achkar ❤️ . #innerbeauty #namaste #eyes #eyecontact #eyegaze #portrait #nz #newzealand #explore
I was reminded of something important this week as I felt my personal practice weaken... . “The need to ‘get something’ is the greatest trap a yogi can fall into. Trust the practice and preserve. Be precise. Commit. This is what it means to be a yogi.” . Thanks for the reminder @octaviosalvado and thanks for an epic week at @aroharetreats @dbrownyoga you big softie 🙏🏽 . #practice #commit #yoga #tantra
It’s pretty special capturing the real smile of a great friend... . Thanks @andreagrimmond for your light 🧡 . #smile #enjoy #livelife #portrait #beach #bali
Don’t just dance like no one’s watching... Live without giving a shit if people think you’re cool, funny or sexy. Be yourself, burn bright, and shine. . #sunset #yoga #tantra #hatha #dance #beyourself #simple
