A short and sweet episode this week: I'm inviting you to join me for free Monday sessions throughout July.

These sessions have been running for a year now, and to mark that I'm opening them up to everyone at no cost for the whole month. They run every Monday evening, 7 to 8pm UK time, and they are honestly one of the highlights of my week.

The structure is really simple. We open with a grounding moment, draw a card, and anyone who wants to can check in via the chat. Then we move into around 45 minutes of quiet time together. Some people draw or paint, some stitch or weave, some do tarot spreads, some just rest or read. There's no fixed schedule, no teaching, no pressure to be on video. Just a soft hour of doing something nourishing for yourself, alongside other people doing the same.

I find that slowing down with others helps me go so much deeper into my own practice. I often write more in my journal in that hour than I would alone.

In August I'm taking a break, and in September I'll be back with a fuller membership offering that builds on these sessions. But for now, July is completely free to try with no strings attached.

I'd love to see you there: https://wonderful-term-81242.myflodesk.com/tp3w2m72dc

In this episode, I explore the Hanged Man tarot card as a companion for summer and for liminal seasons in general.

Even if you do not usually work with tarot, I hope this conversation offers something gentle and spacious around perspective, rest, uncertainty, and slowing down.

I talk about:

• the symbolism and history of the Hanged Man

• summer as a threshold season
• sacred unproductivity
• changing perspective through ritual and embodiment
• grief, disability, chronic illness, and surrender
• what becomes possible when we stop forcing resolution

I also share simple ways to work with the Hanged Man over the summer through journaling, movement, tarot rituals, and paying attention to the changing light and rhythm of the season.

In this first “Read With Me” episode, I’m sharing reflections on I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, a haunting, deeply philosophical dystopian novel that unexpectedly became one of the most meaningful books I’ve read recently.

I read this during the winter solstice season on the Isle of Lewis, and despite rarely reading dystopian fiction, I found myself profoundly moved by the novel’s exploration of uncertainty, loneliness, curiosity, resilience, and human connection.

In this episode, I explore:

• reading as a nervous system experience
• suspense and anxiety in fiction
• existential literature in approachable ways

• how imagining “the worst case scenario” can sometimes reduce fear
• the resilience of ritual, companionship, and curiosity
