As an essential aspect of my grounded spiritual work, I’m passionate about living in harmony with the more than human world. I’m currently on a journey with other writers called Thrutopia, in which we’re investigating how we can write a path to a flourishing future. Our media is flooded with dystopian visions because in these challenging times of climate change and social disruption it’s just too easy to imagine a disastrous future.

Occasionally we’re presented with a seemingly impossible Utopia, a perfect future which exists somewhere so far ahead in time we just can’t conceive how we might arrive at this fantastical destination.
What humanity needs right now, as writer and creator of the Thrutopia course Manda Scott says, is a deluge of believable Thrutopias. Imaginative books, stories, films, songs, plays, and TV programmes which gift us with a clear vision of exactly how we can make our way through to that better world we yearn to leave to future generations.
I adore the imaginative arts and I’ve been engaged with them as audience and performer all my life. I’ve often found it depressing when I’m looking for something to read, watch, or listen to. It can feel like I’m drowning in an endless array of murder, social decay, violence, and heartless destruction. So, knowing the power of words to summon and call forth what is longed for, I’m beginning with this simple (but so much more than a) poem. I’m inspiring us all not to avoid the undoubted upheaval and challenges ahead, but with trust in humanity’s proven potential and with active hope in our hearts, to know that we might find a way through – together.
A THRUTOPIAN EVOCATION
Spell it out and murmur magic,
Plant the path tangential to
The barren burial boulevard;
Not under, and Thru.
Stir the folk to flock together,
Blend them in a nourishing brew.
Stream this panacea of power
Not over, and Thru.
Mirror nature’s balanced systems,
All That Is sustain, renew.
Spiral forth the web of life;
Not around, and Thru.

A coastal walk revealed something magical 🌊
As the sea spray rose, shapes began to form, first dancing figures… then a face. Zooming in, I saw the laughing Old Woman of the Sea looking back at me. Take a look… 👁️

As we leave the Easter weekend, this is what my heart is singing:
"We all live under the same sky
We all will live, we all will die
There is no wrong, there is no right
The circle only has one side"
- Lyrics from "Side" by Travis
Full Moon in Libra today🌕
A moment of completion and rebalancing.
Where do you feel out of alignment?
What’s disrupting your sense of harmony - fear, relationships, boundaries?
Listen to your body and intuition. They already know the way back.

The natural world is always in conversation with you.
When you’re grieving, it shows you life continues.
When you feel alone, it keeps you company.
Whatever needs healing, the earth offers its quiet balm 🌿

You can’t fully shine your light without meeting your shadow. They’re not separate - they shape each other.
It takes courage to go there, but that’s where transformation begins.
