I don’t have children. I was, briefly, a mother to an unborn child once, but that’s another story, a bedrock-shaking one which is woven into the fabric of my bones and which, on the other side of, I am an entirely different person. Since that pivotal time of my life I’ve been on a hugeContinueContinue reading “Mother earth”

Community Power
This post is a celebration of both the land that I live on and the amazing beings who I am blessed to live here amongst. I live in a beautiful, secluded shallow valley of woodland and pasture on top of a mountain plateau, with a clear, bubbling stream running along its length at the centre.ContinueContinue reading “Community Power”
Healing Waters
I recently attended the first embodiment training that I have done for a very long time indeed – ‘Living Body Enquiry’ with Carole Burstein. I used to be a training junkie, jumping from course to course, snatching the treasure I could from each one, before hopping to the next one. I spent all my moneyContinueContinue reading “Healing Waters”
We Are Not Forsaken
Great mother writhes and moans on her sickbed,Hoping her discomfiture will jog us awake.Wildlife waits in the wings,Wondering if we will answer the call.The wind gives the trees their voice,”Remember yourselves, remember yourselves…”The buzzard screeches down from above,”It’s not too late, humans!”The world holds its breath, watching our every move. Then… We lift our heads,ContinueContinue reading “We Are Not Forsaken”
The Power of a Woman
Yesterday was the full moon, and felt very powerful indeed to me. I am increasingly in synch with the lunar cycle and have started offerings women’s gatherings with each new and full moon, along with a gorgeously wise soul-sister. It feels like very important, meaningful work at this time to hold space to bring theContinueContinue reading “The Power of a Woman”

I must caveat this entry by saying I am no authority on how to recover from depression, I can only share my personal experience with heartfelt honesty. Every story is uniqueContinueContinue reading “Earth Medicine”
Converging worlds
I attended the summer conference of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (CIEEM) the other day, the topic of which was ‘Health and Wellbeing in the Workplace’. To be honest, I didn’t really pay much attention to the topic when I booked on, my main motive being accruing some much-needed CPD hours, toContinueContinue reading “Converging worlds”
A cosmic orgasm bursting out of my pen
Sometimes I connect with a higher part of myself and free write. Sometimes the results astound me. This was one of those times – the pen flew and joy and wonder bubbled up within me in an explosion of poetic prose; I was crying by the end of it. Despite it feeling quite vulnerable toContinueContinue reading “A cosmic orgasm bursting out of my pen”
Creature teachers
Today is International Day for Biological Diversity. As such, today I choose to write my own ode to our beautiful planet and the gloriously diverse life that she sustains. Without her we wouldn’t be here. She is our mother-ship! She is the mother that loves us unconditionally and keeps on giving to us, no matterContinueContinue reading “Creature teachers”
Spokesperson for mother earth
I have been watching the magnificent, gentle power of Greta Thunberg’s addresses to the EU recently, and feeling moved to tears at her bravery at speaking out. She is an inspiration to us all. One girl, owning her power, speaking out, from a pure place of deep care about our beautiful planet Earth. She isContinueContinue reading “Spokesperson for mother earth”
