Today is Earth Day - thinking about the entire Earth, and what we can do to ensure our survival, can feel daunting - but here are some local initiatives that can support you to support the Earth.
🌍 @growing_green_london - set up by local Mamas - amongst other things their focus is rewilding our local schools, and you can support them by donating or volunteering.
🌍 @fair_well_london - tackle the plastic pollution crisis by removing plastic packaging from the final stage of the food distribution chain and solving the main problem with plastic-free shopping: inconvenience. They come to you, you just need to book and buy.
🌍 @heath_hands - supporting our beautiful Hampstead Heath, sustaining its biodiversity and protecting it for wildlife and humans to enjoy. You can volunteer with them as well as joining them for their frequent events.
🌍 @chetwyndroadcommunitygarden - a local community of growers, based at the top of Chetwynd Road – follow them on Instagram and find out more.
🌍 @kentishtownlibraryofthings - borrow items, such as drills, carpet cleaners, projectors - you don't have to buy them - sharing the things you won't use often is a simple action all of us can take to live more sustainably - they're based at Kentish Town Library.
🌍 @kentishtownvegbox - all their produce is organic or naturally grown and sourced from small-scale farms as close to London as possible. Use them as a local alternative to the larger scale veg-box schemes.
🌍 @urban_forest_tribe - a local nature based community, focusing on inclusion, and a deeper bond with the natural world. Find out how your little ones can benefit from their offerings.
These are just a few of the local initiatives supporting our environment, support them and use them - helping the Earth starts at home.

At this Monday's Acupuncture Collective you can experience the benefits of acupuncture at a lower cost - but how can this ancient healing modality support your mental health?
In acupuncture (and Chinese Medicine, where acupuncture originates) there's a special word for our overall emotional spirit - the ‘Shen'. When we’re feeling unsettled and anxious we refer to it as a ‘Scattered Shen’.
Through a delicate and detailed approach, acupuncture helps to benefit our mental health in the following ways:
Recalibrating our nervous system
Encouraging better quality sleep
Promoting clarity of thought and focus
Working on a deeper level to help our hormones work with us, not against us
The holistic approach we take at the Acupuncture Collective means your symptoms aren’t just treated at the surface level, we go deeper.
If you would like to experience how transformative acupuncture can be, book in with us and allow your Shen to settle into a state of Zen.
Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 20th April - find more details and book via our bio.1 week ago
The main constant in life is change, and sometimes, it goes from everyday change to immense and unexpected external and internal shifts.
