Stay and Wander

Part 3 of our Sensory First Aid Kit for these socially isolating times is a visual feast. When we’re not meditating to stay calm and grounded, we’re keeping our spirits up by binging on botanical and artistic endeavours.

Every day at dusk, accompanied by a generous G&T, we reconnect with Australia’s landscape by lighting our native scented candles in each room of the house. Add to your daily rituals, go for a wander and bring Tasmania’s pristine wilderness into your home.
