Dawn House News - November 2023
- From the Editor -
Embracing Change and Growth
Navigating Life's Seasons Without Overload
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the readers of “Dawn House News” (DHN) who engaged with the summer edition of our newsletter. Your feedback and contributions are invaluable.
This autumn edition exercises some editorial discretion, diverging somewhat from the roadmap laid out in our last issue. The editor has encountered challenges in coalescing the varied topics presented: the change of seasons, the loss of a friend, remembrance of a cherished midwifery tutor, travels, future plans for the house and DHN, intriguing international connections, and the overwhelming events unfolding on the global stage. Certainly good news is that we now have someone on site who completed the Permaculture Teacher’ Training at the - it has to be said - renowned permaculture training center “Aldeia do Vale” near Sintra, Portugal.
Doula Nicola Mahdiyyah Goodall has contributed a heartfelt narrative on the imperative of self-care. Heed her advice: Take time for your own well-being and remain vigilant about your colleagues' capacity to cope with stress.
With Halloween, All Saints' Day, and All Souls' Day receding into memory, the coolness of autumn firmly re-establishes itself in the Northern Hemisphere. We invite you to settle in, enjoy the read, and stay engaged for what’s to come.
