About
Welcome!
My name is Sue and it's great to meet you!
I love exploring the beauty of Nature in the local countryside and coastal paths of South Devon. I enjoy finding out about the things I see and collect on my walks so that I can share revelations and ideas to help you get closer to Nature too!
My website, blog, galleries, herb and spice directories and videos are here to inform and brighten your day as we follow Nature through the seasons. Discover original photographs, articles, poems, healthy recipes, book reviews and free resources for you to enjoy.
Spiral Leaf is an evolving collection of discoveries supported by research studies into Nature, Natural Health, Holistic Indigenous Learning and Spiritual Growth in Nature's loving embrace.
Thank you for being here. I hope you find many delights to relax your mind and brighten your day!
Much love
Sue Xx
ABOUT SPIRAL LEAF
Sue Cartwright founded Spiral Leaf to share the beauty of Nature through her writing, poetry, photography and homemade video productions.
With a passion for exploring and appreciating the natural world, Sue holds infinite love and respect for the integrity of all living things as part of the universal whole. Sue understands that our natural world (and all living things including human beings) have an inalienable right to be protected, appreciated and naturally cared for in harmony with Nature and our beautiful planet Earth.
With a love for the outside world and walking far and wide with her phone camera, Sue loves to explore wild and forgotten places. Spending a lifetime absorbed in the natural world, reading books and researching all aspects of Nature, Natural Health and Spirituality, led to the creation of Spiral Leaf as a way to help others get closer to Nature for all the rewards it brings.
Learning to Grow is a special collection of articles and resources that combine learning about Nature through our lives with Indigenous Teachings, homeschooling principles and other natural pursuits. In the resources section, you will find a selection of templates to help you organise healthy routines and pursuits for your general wellbeing.

AN ADVOCATE FOR LIVING A NATURAL AND ORGANIC LIFE ON EARTH IN HARMONY WITH NATURE AND ALL LIVING BEINGS
INSIDER SECRETS
Some things you may or may not not know about me
01
My love and respect Nature knows no bounds
Ever since my Mum took me to the park in my pram to walk under the trees as the sun shone through the leaves mesmerising me into sleep.
02
I could read books and take notes all day long
I aim to read 30 books each year which are all treasures written by authors old and new who enrich my knowledge and creativity in many ways.
03
My days begin with honey, lemon and ginger
My go-to tonic in the morning or last thing at night with different home-grown herbs infused to cleanse my body, wake me up or wind me down.
04
I will be a prolific and published author one day
I have been reading, writing and learning for as long as I can remember with many things studied and written each day ... books are in the making.
05
I never use AI for any of my creative work
I never use AI as it scrapes the internet for original content to use commercially without consent and diminishes critical thinking.
06
I dream of a beautiful life on Earth for all people
My mission is to bring to fruition my late father's legacy that shows how to co-create a harmonious life on Earth for all people.
Natural Credo
Respect for Nature
Connection to Nature's beauty, healing essence, light energy and all fellow beings on planet Earth
Holistic Approach
Reciprocal, conscientious love, objective observation, reasoning, rationality for the good of all
Quality Values
Equity, equality, respect, creativity, honesty, kindness, humility, truth, peace, integrity
Spiritual Truth
Awareness, consciousness, connectivity, synchronicity, lightwork for a beautiful world
Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like Autumn leaves.
John Muir
Thank you for sharing!
