Lesson will start with my explain my background and why I started doing this practice, (in short covid lockdown and loosing my mind, went to the beach and drew in the sand, and felt calm, also as I have adhd it helps me keep busy, be creative and enjoy nature).
Lesson will start with a few minutes to stop and sit and become aware of our surroundings. Using a short(1 min) grounding technique called 54321.
