They’re also offering 20 percent off for anyone wanting to gift healthcare workers a stay.

This month we are musing over the celebration of life and its gifts! ⁠ ⁠ "To be human is to exist with every emotion, to express and be seen by those around us. We endure the unpredictable nature of life, and it can be challenging. We tend to dance and fall through situations always trying to understand and make something of it. Yet what of beauty and reverence for the opportunity we have to choose and create. How about the feeling of joy or surprise, like the delight of reading a book in the sunshine or witnessing laughter between friends.⁠ ⁠ This monthly musing is about celebration, it is an invitation to remember the unlikelihood of life’s gifts, and of being itself. What do you treasure? Is it being immersed in a song, allowing it to play in its’ entirety? Is it engaging the senses through a delicious recipe, or do you honour moments spent in the natural world, observing the birds or the clouds above? #monthlymusing #yogaanytime #celebratelife
