🍯Honeysuckle and Hawk Moths🦋

...plus a survey for you

Dear you,

Welcome to the first of July’s two Moontime Musings newsletters. This one comes almost a week late due to a magical holiday in the Pyrénées (we saw bearded vultures - the rarest type in Europe!!) and recovering from Covid (urgh!). In this edition I share info on how to harness the healing power of Honeysuckle (helpful for anyone else with Covid!) as well as an opportunity for you to shape the future offerings of my small business - Foxfire Learning.

But first, here are some seasonal dates to guide your July:

10 July: Don’t step on a Bee Day

15 July: St Swithin’s Day

21 July: Full Hay Moon in Capricorn

23 July: Sun moves into Leo

24 July: Start of Love Parks Week

All month: Plastic Free July

As mentioned above, I’d love to hear your thoughts about what you like most about Foxfire Learning’s existing offerings as well as any suggestions for how they can evolve moving fowards. We’re now at the halfway point between two festivals in the Wheel of the Year: Litha (21 June) and Lammas or Lughnasadh (1 August), so this feels like an apt time to reflect and gather feedback.

If you can spare less than 5 minutes to answer the 8 questions in this survey I’d be ever so grateful.
