Voices of Transformation

Fern by Jess Winters 10/10/24
Through the undergrowth I emerge, uncoiling myself slowly.
With each new chapter of life.
Protected by those who came before me.
They shelter me from the rains.
Allowing me the light I need to unravel and spread my delicate and glorious leaves.
To then rise on top whilst cradled by those who came before me.
I know I will stand strong, bearing the elements of time.
To then be the support of a new life,
Guiding its tender roots and branches to grow,
All while held by those who came before me.

I know my purpose

With inherent joy and ease

I pass on my knowledge

With my abundance of seeds

Breathy freely, with hope

Enjoying every breeze

I am part of a collective vision

That rests with the trees

Collective Poem

 

Ther is no hierarchy

Expansion and growth is

experienced equally.

I have never notice you by my ignorance

Gentleness and sharpness are all your beauty.

Allow vines anxiety and expectations

everything records this life and past life’s secrets

All beings are messengers

Life is planting the seeds

I’m loving you,

Please keep going up bravely.

Natural Leaders Ecotherapy Training Collective Poem

By Craig, Davina, Faithe, Jasmine, Jess, Julie, Karlena, Lorraina, Mandi, Marina, Mélanie, Miriama, Patu, Toni & Victoria

Through the undergrowth, I emerge,
I am nature, naturally simple, naturally beautiful.
While I am here, I will stand tall.

The wind is making your leaves dance while singing words that I cannot understand.

The strong firm tree stands in the wind.

A beacon to light.
Carry my purse with care.
Ordinary in the extraordinary.
With my abundance of seeds.

Seeking light in wind and rain, ready to become holy again.

Soft to the touch, strength and vitality.

Kor – o – RO – IA.
TAU – A – WAI.
RA – WA.

You are the essence, essential to the world’s turning, and one in between.
The mind seeds what it wants to bee leave, says the tree to the seed.

This is the only moment.

“Totara” By Rata 2024 Belmont

 

Guess my name

If you have forgotten your way, I remain steadfast with patience

No life is in vain.

I am hope, the one that remains

Ready for you

When you’ve lost your way.
