Lockdown liberation
I keep finding myself pondering that what we’re now calling lockdown would once have been normal life. My life is completed centred around my own home, most days leaving its sphere only once and within walking distance for an hour or so, travelling as infrequently as possible to stock up on essential supplies that are not available from my immediate environment. Internet and other mod cons aside, I could almost imagine I’d stepped into one of the Thomas Hardy novels I first read and loved as a teenager. And there’s something...
read moreA time to change: COVID 19
As I write most people are isolating themselves at home or at least practicing physical distancing to help with the containment of the Coronavirus. I never imagined that after a three month gap I’d be writing about a pandemic and its effects. The beginning of the year was a hectic and very creatively fulfilling one for me, as I directed my first play for Attic Theatre. It took much of my time and energy, of which I enjoyed every minute, and we received such an amazing response from audience and reviewers alike that it was tremendously...
read moreSelf-responsibility – Reading for 2020
Despite the challenges I think we all faced in 2019, I was fizzing with quietly excited optimism as I shuffled before drawing my card for 2020. I wasn’t disappointed when I turned over the Thoth Adjustment (Justice in Rider Waite decks). This is a major arcana card, so immediately we know that the energy of this year offers a chance for great spiritual evolution and will continue to ripple out significantly into the decade ahead. The immediate message shouts loud and clear to me, think carefully and choose wisely over the next 12 months...

It’s just a giant rock, he said, but without it no life would exist. A rock that rocks apparently.So lifeless and barren on the shining face of her, Pitted scars like pockmarks. What affliction has she felt that those flaws linger clear,Starry eyes a witness to her blitzing? Did she scratch and pick away at the scabs till the life juice rained like vital tears to earth, dripping from her bright but blemished skin to bloom as scarlet flowers on her shielded sibling?Unsetting weeping seeping down, paling her complexion to the powdered...

“Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.” – Joseph Campbell. This is my perfect life formula, according to my latest discovery. As you’ll have gathered by now, I’m eternally excited about learning, growing and evolving; I think curiosity is a quality I’ve always had in abundance. The more I understand about the multiverse the deeper into the mystery I’m lured, because for every nugget of knowledge I gather I can sense at least another three hovering just...

It startled me at first, the down and inward towThat shocked the breath to hold and body to resist as myUngrounded being yearned up and out toward what I then believed was Precious and preferred.But now, ah now, I welcome the drop and drag that reels meInto the deep blue locker of embodied centre, Where treasure’s harboured brilliant and rareThat none but I can fathom.Beneath, the scintillating rock solid to senseAnd each shell ripe with fresh pearl of the Mother.She breaks me open,Bears me down salty waters,Until I slither forth like...
read moreWorking with your inner healer archetype
As a healer this is an archetype I’m very familiar with! It’s essential for all of us to have a healthy (excuse the obvious pun) relationship with our healer archetype so that it can show us where and how to make adjustments in our lives to maximise our well-being on all levels; to achieve wholeness. Given enough attention, this relationship results in the ultimate form of healing which is preventative rather than curative. It was this idea of being able to nip an imbalance in the bud at the root, so that it doesn’t have to...
read moreWhat wholistic healing means
I woke up with one of those Aha moments this morning, in that liminal space between sleep and wakefulness when the mind is offline, into which the Divine seems more able to speak directly. What I heard and understood with crystal clarity was the key aspect of healing. The dictionary defines it as “the process of becoming well again.” Generally this carries with it the idea of returning the mind, body and emotions to exactly how they were before there was a problem. Everything goes back to how it was and essentially it’s as...
read moreWorking with your inner father archetype
The inner father archetype affects how you express the masculine aspect of your nature in your life, whether you’re male or female, and it’s heavily shaped both by your relationship with your human father (or lack of it) and how you’ve learned to relate to authority in your culture and society. Your ability to function healthily as an adult is very much affected by how your inner father archetype operates within you. He dictates how strong, capable, and productive you feel in everyday life as well as how you conduct...
read moreDreamland or the land dreaming
When we first moved into our current home, our dream home, I experienced a vivid meditation in my newly blessed spiritual work room. As I unwrapped the potent energy package which I’d safely bundled up from my previous work space, I felt a shift in perception. In my mind’s eye, the walls around me dissolved and there was absolutely nothing separating me from the wild bank and oak woodland on one side, and the spating stream on the other. Even though I knew I was inside the cottage, I was simultaneously aware of being completely...
