Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

About me
Lean into Nature is a blog focused on community, connection and wellbeing, rooted in the natural world. I explore how strengthening our relationship with nature improves our physical and mental wellbeing and our social connection. I’m also exploring how I incorporate more natural ways of living, including slowing down, seasonal rhythms and embracing anti-productivity, to combat the busyness and noise of modern life.
So if you’re interested in everything from forest therapy, nature study, nature-inspired arts and crafts, and mindful walks to seasonal rhythms, ancient traditions and rituals, herbal remedies, slowing down, being anti productive, then you’ve come to the right place!
