Metaphysical Summer Walk in Hyde Park
Feeling you might need to refresh yourself after a hectic Bank Holiday weekend?
Petra Maria Knickenberg is back in London, Tuesday evening, 29th August 2017 (one day only!!!).
Treat yourself, take a wonderful evening walk in the park. Just what you need after your first day back at work.
Book now while you think of it.
In a world buzzing with constant notifications, traffic, and to-do lists, it’s no wonder our minds often feel cluttered and restless. But beyond the noise, there is a place where stillness lives – and that place is nature.
Let nature be your sanctuary. Take time this week to step outside, even for just a few minutes, and allow the earth to hold you in her quiet embrace.

Many people think of astrology as something light-hearted—a horoscope in the newspaper or a fun party trick. But true astrology is much deeper. It’s the language of the soul, a symbolic map that helps us understand who we are and how we move through the world.
At the moment of your birth, the sky forms a unique pattern – a celestial snapshot. The placement of the planets, the sun, the moon, and the rising sign all come together to create your natal chart. It’s often called your cosmic blueprint, and it says something about the essence you came into this life with. The cosmic energies offer potential for your life. Their energy influences how you behave.
There are two layers to this blueprint: the personality and the soul.
Your personality astrology—often focused on your sun, moon, and rising signs – can show how you express yourself, relate to others, and react emotionally. It can help you navigate day-to-day life: your moods, energy levels, and how you handle challenges.
Your soul astrology goes deeper. It asks:
Why did you choose to come here, at this time, in this way?
It explores the karmic threads, the bigger lessons, and the long view of your soul’s evolution. It can offer insight into your purpose, patterns, and what your soul is working through in this lifetime.
Osho once said,
“Astrology is the language of the soul.”
He viewed astrology not as something to believe or disbelieve, but as a symbolic energy map. In his words, it’s about being with what is – learning to recognise, accept, and work with the patterns and energies moving through your life.
Astrology doesn’t control us, but it can illuminate our choices. It helps us understand the cycles we’re in. Some days are made for action, others for rest. Some seasons call for release, while others invite growth.
You don’t need to know your full birth chart to begin. Simply noticing the moon’s phases or Mercury retrograde can help you move through life with more awareness and grace.
Astrology doesn’t tell you who to be. It helps you remember who you are.
Do you feel the pull of the moon or notice patterns in your energy? Have you explored your birth chart or wondered about your soul’s path?
Share your reflections below – or let me know if you’d like guidance in exploring your astrology more deeply. The stars may just be whispering your next step.
There’s something almost magical about stepping outside and genuinely seeing the natural world – not just rushing through it, but being with it. Listening to birdsong, feeling the breeze on your skin, noticing how sunlight plays across the leaves – nature calls us back, not just to the land but to ourselves.
In a world filled with noise, screens, and urgency, it’s easy to lose touch with our inner rhythm. But when we step into the outdoors, especially with intention, we begin to remember something ancient. Something sacred.
Nature doesn’t rush. It doesn’t multitask. It simply is – moving gently through its cycles of growth, rest, and renewal. And when we spend time in its presence, we begin to mirror that calm. Our nervous system settles. Our breath deepens. Our minds grow quieter.
This slowing down creates space for reflection. Many spiritual traditions throughout history have used nature as a place for retreat, vision, and renewal. There’s a reason so many wise souls have found their insights in forests, deserts, mountains, or by the sea. When we quiet the outer world, we hear the voice within more clearly.
Nature’s rhythms remind us of our own. We, too, have seasons – times of growth, times of stillness, times of letting go. When we live in alignment with these cycles, life feels more balanced, more meaningful. We stop trying to force ourselves into unnatural productivity and instead start listening to the quieter voice of the soul.
You don’t have to travel far to experience this. A walk in a local park, sitting beneath a tree, or even tending a few pots on a balcony can become a spiritual practice when approached with presence. It’s about how you show up, not how remote the setting is.
So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just a little adrift – step outside.
Take off your shoes.
Breathe in the air.
Let nature hold you. Let her teach you.
When you return to the Earth, you return to yourself.
Have you felt the healing pull of nature lately? It maybe a simple walk through the woods or a quiet moment with your garden.
I’d love to hear how the outdoors brings you home to yourself. Share your reflections in the comments – let’s honour the wisdom of the natural world together.
