In the latest issue of Good – on sale now, we explore the importance of being grounded with our “Staying Grounded” issue.
With the current state of the world and constant shifting and changing, it can feel unsettling at times. But change is a constant, within and beyond, and with the arrival of autumn, nature offers us a poignant reminder of its inevitability. The leaves begin to fall, the mornings greet us with a crisp embrace, and we are reminded that staying grounded through life’s seasons is perhaps one of the greatest skills we can cultivate.
Inspired by this, this issue has a wealth of great articles to help keep you grounded. We have an insightful conversation with author, gardener and cook Amber Rose. She speaks about the importance of eating seasonally — sourcing locally to support the planet and our farmers and prep ourselves in alignment with the rhythm of the seasons.
We bring you earthy drinks to keep you warm and cosy inside, and comforting recipes to share with the important people in your life.
We also speak with four passionate, earth-loving individuals who prioritise the planet in their community initiatives, helping others find wellness and deeper connections through nature.
Jess Weale takes us on some of her latest wellness excursions, exploring the benefits of being immersed in natural materials. We have some tips on how to say grounded–literally – with the benefits of being barefoot.
For the adventurous spirits, we travel to Nepal and, closer to home, immerse ourselves in the breathtaking (or should we say breath-giving?) scenery of Fiordland National Park.
We also take a mindful look at investing wisely — ensuring our financial choices align with our values.
And because laughter truly is the best medicine, we sit down with the exceptionally talented comedian Melanie Bracewell to talk about her successful career, how she balances creative success and personal wellbeing and her experience of living with ADHD.
This issue is an invitation — to dig your hands into the soil and to reflect on how often you give back to the earth, the very thing that provides everything to us. May you find inspiration within these pages to ground yourself, nourish your body and move through life’s transitions with calm presence.
