25.01.2022 Join us on Friday, 18th of October at 5.30pm, for our favourite Organic Wine Tasting Night!

22.01.2022 Family home under threat near Braidwood. A big thank you to several volunteers that joined us Wednesday afternoon and into the night at this home. I was moved to see the cold drinks offered by Bungendoore residents for emergency services personel going to and from the fires for many weeks. Please see our last post for more details. The RFS volunteer seen here, drove 90 min from west of Canberra to join his crue on the coast early that day. He then worked with us until 9 ...pm and drove back home, hoping to get some sleep before going back to the coast early the next day. I noticed his concerned wife called twice encouraging him to get home. He has been doing this for nearly 8 weeks now while struggling to to keep up with his paid job. I asked him why he did it and he said he had been volunteering for over 20 years and was passionate about helping people in crisis. See more

22.01.2022 Our Gold Coin Organic Wine Tasting Event is this Friday - we are excited to see you there!

19.01.2022 It’s a gorgeous day in mosquito bay. Just south of Batemans Bay.

15.01.2022 LOST in Mallacoota. This pic is the cottage I was headed for just 3 days ago and now its gone, along with the gorgeous parrots that I had hoped to rescue in the home. Two of my daughters are trapped in Broulee still. My Prayers go out to all the people and animals still in harm's way. Jason

14.01.2022 A hotter, drier & more polluted planet continues to not only put our prosperity at risk but also our health! The greatest wealth is health. - Ralf Waldo Emerson For my American friends the blue circle at the bottom is where I am now. The two blue diamond fire markers at the bottom is where I had a cabin booked in Mallacoota Victoria for 10 days. Those fires were 100 km away yesterday and today is super hot so we decided to stay in a hotel just north (see smoke behind... the hotel pic). Overnight the fire moved 30 km toward Mallacoota where we had planned to be. Today authorities say it’s taken over 20 000 hectares in less than 24 hours (50k acres) and it’s too late to evacuate Mallacoota so it sure would be crazy to go there. I’m headed back home to Canberra. The two huge fires to the right (east) of Canberra have been burning for weeks causing so much smoke pets are coughing- imagine how it is for asthmatics! I haven’t exercised for over a month due to the smoke. Nearly 1000 homes lost already and the fire season has 6 weeks more to run with no rain in sight and vertually none for past 3 months. The fire on the coast east of Canberra is 80 km long and still out of control with many new fires expected across Australia. Last week there were over 140 fires burning in just the state of New South Wales alone with 1700 exhausted volunteer firefighters plus paid emergency services. All recently retired state fire chiefs said together in press conference ...ln 40 years of firefighting we have never seen conditions like this. They all agreed with 1000s of scientists saying This is a result of climate changes Our current Prime Minister brought a lump of coal to parliament and said.. coal is our future. His party’s finance minister said its how we will bring prosperity to the 3rd world. A recent British minister of finance has said ... There will be nothing more financially costly than climate change. The nearest fire to the smoky pictures below taken today is 100 km away! I feel so grateful to be alive and well. My prayers go out to the many 1000s of animals and growing number of people who were not so lucky. Jason

14.01.2022 URGENT call for help! A client has a home at risk from the Braidwood fire which is now 20km away. Needs help to clear dense brush & trees from around house before heavy smoke arrives early tomorrow. Two volunteers have just left and I am leaving at 6.30 pm if you want a lift. CAN YOU HELP? If so, pl all 02 6162 2919 by 6pm tonight (Tues Jan 7th) PS This beautiful cottage (pic here) in Mallacoota burned up just 2 days after I was meant to stay in it last week. I got within 30 minutes of it and turned back due to the fire that had just started 2 hours earlier. Let's see if we can save this classic old home in the Braidwood area. - Jason Barritt

11.01.2022 Mum turned 94 last week. She is enjoying longevity. For as long as I can remember she has emphasised the importance of quality of life over longevity. As Ralph Waldo Emerson puts it, The greatest wealth is health.

11.01.2022 A view from Canberra Centre (shopping mall). Normally, Mt Anslie is easily seen at the end of that street. But today and most days for well over a month it’s hard to see due to bushfire smoke.

09.01.2022 This question gets to me every year! Christmas decorations at the practice in Lyneham bring so many a sense of joy and anticipation. It’s even more special because my daughter, Ellise (see pic with her Grandmother), just back from 2 years in Tasmania, is my CEO of festive decorations. But...... The question! When is the right time to put up the trinkets, baubles and stars? I don't want to be too early (it looks commercial). Let us know your thoughts pleeeeaaaase!

07.01.2022 Some people can thrive (just like this plant) on fast food, minimal exercise and water, or at least it can feel that way for a while. For some people, it works for years. For others like myself, at age 57, I can't get away with that for even a day. I really need to watch what I eat and keep up the exercise, meditate as well as get adjusted regularly by my chiropractor in order to thrive. If I don’t, I can feel my vitality decline quite rapidly. It used not to be an issue, but now if I want to keep up 11 hour days at the practice, I now know that it’s going to be a struggle if I don’t take care of myself. - Jason Barritt (chiro).

07.01.2022 Uncle Mark's classic tale of Land Army Girls and WW2 Tiger Moth pilots. At age 88, he still has an amazing memory, lots of energy and his independence. His secret to ageing well, is regular excercise, enthusiasm for reminiscing bygone days, and still fitting in to the aviation suit he bought at age 15! ******* #landarmygirls #tigermoth #pilots #australianwarmemorial #australianfarmlife #australianstory #ww2farming #airforcedisposal #ww2armyuniform #snowyhydroscheme

06.01.2022 It's hard to walk past flowers without having our spirits being lifted. Springtime is such an awesome time. This is the garden we have created at Body Mind Empowerment Centre. (Click on pic to see the whole garden.)

06.01.2022 I HOPE this short story warms your heart to hear about what people are doing for others around the world during this pandemic. There can be a strong sense of peace and calm when we can feel gratitude... I regularly interact with a lovely individual from India. I said how grateful I am to be Australian during this pandemic and how sorry I was for her challenges. She replied... "Yes, true... the economy is not equal here. Poor are very poor and rich are very rich here ... Government is trying and lots of rich people are giving donations. But still, India has a big population... God save us...." - Jason Copyright free pics by Saksham Gangwar (young woman) Jose Aragones (old man)

05.01.2022 IS YOUR HEALTH AT RISK FROM AIR POLLUTION? It turns out that it's a good thing most of our parks are deserted in Canberra over the past 5 to 6 weeks. What a ghost town! The link below explains why exercising may lead to "increasing your pollution exposure 10-fold during smoky days.

04.01.2022 SCIENTIST GIVES HOPE. He says we can still arrest the march toward the potential devastation of climate change. I recently spoke with a scientist with decades of research on climate change who said he thinks it is still possible to turn climate change around but he, like Gus Speth, thinks greed and apathy could still get the better of us. People voted in the last election for their finances over climate change concerns which ironically, some economists say would ultimately ...devastate our affluence and quality of life. I realise climate change sceptics may brush Speth’s comment aside like they disregard the work of 1000’s of climate change scientists. If you don't think you have seen convincing evidence then please see this article by NASA. Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97% or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities. That same NASA article reported a 2009 statement on climate change from 18 scientific associations: "Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver." While visionaries like Speth cry out, many others are sadly either still not convinced or apathetic. It is self-evident that we need to diligently work on nurturing our environment in a range of ways lest our health and our lives suffer. Let's remember that we are also stewards on this planet for plants and animals.

02.01.2022 Music can do so much good, as well as not so good things for us. It can reduce our stress or ramp it up. It can be a distraction when trying to work or it can help us focus. This is the best 3 hours of music I have heard in weeks. It's consistent but not repetitive like a lot of other music I've have heard recently. Any comments or other music suggestions would be most welcome. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeQSCzrByo4
