Exploring and Sharing

Join me for a relaxing nature walk to explore the beautiful Hunter Region Botanic Gardens at Heatherbrae, with its 125 hectares of stunning native plants, wildlife, and peaceful trails. Our Gardens guide will share their knowledge and enthusiasm for the different theme gardens with acacias, banksias, grevilleas, succulents, ferns and palms as well as bush tucker plantings. Together we’ll have time to chat with friends along the way and enjoy being surrounded by native bushland with large forest trees and many birds.

The Botanic Gardens is also an inspiring non-profit organisation of volunteers dedicated to plant conservation and protecting the natural environment. Their Visitor Centre has a cafe, gift shop and interesting reference library. After the walk we’ll have time to relax and enjoy conversation with coffee or something to eat in the Kookaburra Cafe.

This is a family friendly event. A people mover is also available if needed. Let me know prior to the day if you would like to make a booking.
Pets are not permitted.

Agenda
Join me at the Visitor Centre at 10.00am.
Entry is $5 per person and the fee for our guide is $10 per person.

We’ll begin the walking tour at 10.15am and return to the Café before midday. The overall distance is about 1.5km on well graded and fairly flat paths. We’ll go ahead whether it’s sunny or raining.

Would you like to enhance your creativity, confidence and increase your awareness?

We’d love you to join us to Thoughtstorm® the topic Communication.

How Thoughtstorm came about
Thoughtstorm is a technique developed from a seed of speculation: are there more effective (rational, cooperative, compassionate) ways of thinking? Methods whose long-term consequences will not lead to oblivion. This is the genesis of Thoughtstorm.

What is it?
For anyone with an interest in leadership, deeper conversations or creative problem solving, something much more than a group discussion occurs. What is experienced in Thoughtstorm is a forgotten sensory ability - mind-linking. An evolution in human thinking and learning.

The direction moves from a narrow range of possibility into discovering corecepts, when individual minds merge into a much more powerful collective awareness and experience a deeper, more compassionate comprehension of reality. Corecepts trigger intuitive recognition and agreement by the group, a ‘Why, of course!’ reaction.

New insights guaranteed!
Because this process taps into abilities already present in the human mind and into aggregates of consciousness straining to express themselves, very little practice is required.

Would you like to see and understand things in a way that is new for all of us? Would you like to develop your consciousness and your creative intelligence? Would you like to be inspired to create positive change?
Then come and join us to Thoughtstorm together.

Join me for a relaxed walk exploring the stunning landscape of Pirrita Island Nature Reserve at the northern end of the Swansea peninsula. Together we’ll be able to enjoy an easygoing walk and chat with friends as we follow along the edge of the turquoise waters of Swansea Channel and then on through the lakeside mangroves.

The highlight of the walk is the 250-metre boardwalk that crosses the Pirrita Island marshlands. Illustrated signs along the way tell the stories of the 'Pirrita' oysters prized by the Awabakal people, the coal mining families who lived at Miners Point throughout the 1900s as well as the rich natural history of local flora and fauna. It’s an ideal outing for nature photography and spotting the many waterbirds.

On the return we’ll take time to relax and socialise with new and old friends, and enjoy a coffee at the Channel Café overlooking the water and the Swansea Bridge.

This is a family friendly event. We’ll go ahead whether its sunny or raining.

Agenda
I’ll meet you at 9.00am in the main public carpark on Dobinson Drive , near the Thomas Humphries boat ramp.

We’ll set out at 9.15am and follow the walking path all the way to the viewing platform at Miners Point (Pirrita island). We can enjoy the lake vistas and several indigenous artworks, and from there continue on the boardwalk section across the marshlands on the western shore of the peninsula.

We’ll then return along the bushland track that runs past the Lakeside Holiday Park to the start point at the carpark. The walk is on fairly even flat surfaces all the way and is less than 2.0 km in total.

From the carpark we’ll drive a short way to meet at the Channel Cafe at Shop 3/2 in Belmont Street and enjoy time for conversation with a coffee or something to eat.
