♥Throwback♥ to Hoopy Happenings 2022 when Helly Hoops caught some little moments. Helly & Emma Kenna bought me a little sparkly number from the local op shop, The Everything Shop . It’s always good to pop in there before heading to the event and we can pick you up from in front of the store.
I love having Helly around, she’s great company and an awesome teacher and I’m so happy that she will be teaching at the last ever Hoopy Happenings.
Jigsaw puzzling has become a thing at HH, since a few years back and we have done that Circus jigsaw every year… this year I have a new one or two!

🌿 Wednesday Wellness: Embrace the Healing Power of Nature 🌿

Have you heard of Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese practice of "Forest Bathing"? 🌲
It's not just a walk in the bush; it's a journey of the senses, a balm for your soul, and a path to better physical and mental health. 🌳💚

Since the 1980s, doctors in Japan have been prescribing forest bathing for its incredible restorative effects on our well-being. 🏞️ Research shows that immersing ourselves in nature can lower stress and anxiety, reduce blood pressure, boost mood and confidence, and even support our immune system. 🌞🍃

Exciting news! The University of Wollongong received $1.5 million this year in federal government funding to run a randomized controlled trial – testing if a doctor’s prescription to spend time in nature can actually improve someone’s health. 🌱🏥

Here are some top tips to make the most out of your forest bathing experience:

1. Disconnect from the noise of everyday life. 📵 Silence your phone and be fully present.
2. Leave expectations behind. Set an intention to connect with nature using all your senses.
3. Start by feeling the forest around you. Take deep, calming breaths and tune into your senses. Closing your eyes can amplify the magic: listen to the forest sounds, feel the elements, and savour the scents.
4. Walk slowly, notice every movement, and embrace the stillness of the forest. No need to rush. If your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your surroundings.
5. Dedicate 10-20 minutes to sit still (the longer, the better) and become aware of your surroundings. With eyes open &/or closed immerse yourself…bathe in the forest!
6. Connect with the bush (forest) by exploring the trees, a good tree hug feels awesome, touching stones, smelling flowers, and observing other beings that call it home. Follow your instincts.
7. Lastly, this experience is as individual as you are. Silently acknowledge all that it has gifted you. Bring a journal or art book to capture any feelings, thoughts or visions.

Embrace the serenity, recharge your spirit, and let nature heal you. 🌿💫

From Canada to the vibrant streets of Argentina, Guatemala, and Australia, Sarah has shared the magic of circus with people of all ages and backgrounds. She firmly believes that art should be inclusive and accessible to everybody, and she's dedicated her life to making this a reality. 🌍💃

Sarah holds a Bachelor's degree in Contemporary Arts - Dance and has honed her circus skills at Circo De Las Artes, Argentina. She's a certified instructor in Aerial Dance and Pilates, and her passion for teaching knows no bounds. 🧘‍♀️🤸‍♀️

You can catch Sarah regularly teaching the art of hula hooping at in Wollongong.

Join us on a journey of movement, groove, and pure joy as Sarah guides us through Pilates, dance, and circus prep to kickstart our day with positive energy. 🌞🕺

❤️ Last Dance ❤️
For many years I have been saying “I’m not going to do another Hoopy Happenings”
Then I get there, I get sucked into the energy, swept up with emotions and
by the end of Hoopy Happenings I hear myself saying “yeah let’s do it again!"
But I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately and 11 is my favourite number and I think
ending on the 11 th anniversary is good. I have other creative projects that are bursting to come out and it’s like our home renos now and my decluttering, I need to let go of some things so that other things can come in.
I feel teary already so expect a few tears at the last ever Hoopy Happenings.
Never fear there will still be lots of “Hoopy Loopy Happiness” and some “HoopAbouts” and if there’s some international hoop teachers wanting to tour to Oz we can still make those things happen, just contact me.
I can't wait to see all of your beautiful faces at the final Hoopy Happenings, get your tickets now to be a part of this truly special experience.
