The Creatrix Journey

For anyone who knows me, you’ll know my heart belongs in the woods, on the hills, beneath the trees, walking. 🌿

There is something about walking mindfully in nature that slows everything down. It gives you space to breathe, think, talk or simply be.

That’s one of the reasons I love being part of the wellbeing team at Mind Over Mountains , an incredible organisation offering free mental health and mindfulness walks, as well as partly funded retreats.

Today, we walked together as a group through the beautiful Northern Chilterns around Tring following the Ridgeway, one of the world’s oldest routes, and heading through chalk downland rich with wildlife and wildflowers.

But these walks are about so much more than the miles we cover.

They’re about walking alongside other people. Talking, listening, being heard, connecting with nature, each other and ourselves..

We don’t rush, take time to notice what’s around us, engage our senses and enjoy the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other.

And at the end of today’s walk, I found the tiniest, most beautiful jay feather. 🪶

A little reminder that when we slow down, we notice things we might otherwise miss.

Nature really is medicine. 🌳

My heart is so happy after an incredible weekend Oh Shala Bhakti Festival . 💚

What Emily and the whole team have created over the past five years is truly something special. A community-run, sober festival with love, connection and belonging at its heart, where babies, children, young people and elders all come together to dance, play, laugh and simply be.

I felt so grateful to be part of it as a facilitator, hosting woodland walks and creative writing sessions in the beautiful ancient woods. They offered such a peaceful, cool and calming sanctuary for our writing circle, a wonderful contrast to the vibrant festival.

Seeing everyone dancing together with such openness and joy was wonderful. We are building the community for the new earth.

A huge thank you to .cobie and the entire Oshala team. The care, vision and countless hours of work that go into creating this magical weekend are deeply appreciated. I’m already looking forward to next year.

We are the medicine!

It’s great to back in Glastonbury - I am staying the perfect place for a break, or to work or write. It’s on a powerful ley line and the creative energy is powerful.

I watched the sun set on Glastonbury Tor, witnessed a goddess initiation and then danced under the Tor with some amazing drummers and fellow sunset watchers. Pe

Happy Earth Day 🌏

Infinite

The earth has a heartbeat and
sometimes in the stillness of nature
I can feel it as I lay my cheek on 
a grandmother oak or walk 
barefoot in a field.

Connected to the infinite energy
of source, grounded by the earth
and the alchemy of the elements,
a profound stillness drops in
Just silence, fully present.

No busy thoughts, no messy mind,
just peace, my heart beats with 
the earth and my breath creates
union with mind, I’m body and soul as our
light codes are activated by the sun.
