This weekend, the long Easter weekend, there is so much to feel joyful
\nfor.<\/h3>\n

\"NL<\/a><\/p>\n

The origins of Easter festival are ancient, the pagan festival of
\nEostre seems to be the source of the festival, which took place (as
\nEaster still does) on the first Sunday after the full-moon following the
\nSpring Solstice. This festival celebrates resurrection and the
\npossibility of new beginnings.<\/p>\n

New beginnings happen to be my very favourite topic. I love nothing
\nmore than the possibility of transformation, and if there is any art
\nwhich I have sought to become skilled at, it is the skill of living with
\nand through transformation. After all, every day our bodies\u2019 cells are
\ntransformed, every day we wake up brand new. And the skill of life is
\nhow to keep our minds as transformed, as welcoming of the new, as the
\nbody and nature naturally is. Our minds function best when open, ready
\nfor new possibility and new opportunity. Those who I admire in life see
\nonly opportunities from crisis.<\/p>\n

In my life, I have shifted my life and my livelihood dramatically. I
\nchanged from being a lawyer working in the city, to running this
\nbeautiful revolution from the countryside. The change was caused by many
\nexternal events (oh my, a car crash, divorce and dog with cancer!). But
\nthe thing that really caused my resurrection into a new life was that I
\nwanted to change. My mind was ready, I actively sought out a
\ntransformation. And so it happened.<\/p>\n

I’m not suggesting that you all leave your jobs, your life, but this
\nEaster time, remember that you are free to choose your life, every
\nsingle day, and you can transform every single day.<\/p>\n

To celebrate this time of celebration, we have put together for you a
\nbeautiful new Challenge! The Spring-time challenge, to help you to
\nspring into the possibility of summer and change. We have an All-Levels
\nSpring challenge<\/a>\u00a0and a More Feisty Spring Challenge<\/a> for
\nthose more active Easter bunnies.<\/p>\n

I really do hope that you enjoy these challenges that we put together
\nfor you, and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n

I do hope that, whatever your plans this weekend, you\u00b9re able to take
\ntime out in nature, put down your digital devices and enjoy the peace
\nand beauty of the natural world.<\/p>\n
