Growing up Polish Australian
Share
Growing up, spending time with my Grandparents, Janina and Jan Dobosz, was something I did regularly as a child and throughout my childhood.
I had many conversations with my Babcai and Dziadzui and one of the most treasured memories is their ceremonial and celebratory spirit, always having an open invitation to family to visit and receive that unconditional love was a norm for me growing up.
Growing fresh produce in the garden and cooking home cooked meals was our forte. I remember Babcia waking up early for prayer, always looking after her skin with moisturiser and caring for her delicate hands with hand cream after cooking or washing; Taking the time to cultivate care for herself in beautiful ways.
The creation of Bosz is my expression of that love and offering to you.
Made with the intention to make this time ceremonial – a time to honour yourself, to nourish and remember that unconditional love and nurturing within you - and lather yourself in it daily.
