In a world of seemingly perpetual turmoil and constantly shifting sands we may ask ourselves to what can we hold fast? Instead of seeking outer stability our answer lies within. As we quiet down and move into the stillness of reflection we can choose to open ourselves to discovering our deep soul connection with all...
If we want a better world we must each play our part in its creation, living as citizens of that better world rather than citizens of our own little world. Examining all aspects of our life and their contribution to our wellbeing – mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually – is a start. Maybe our practice...
‘We have the choice to use the gift of our life to make the world a better place.’ Jane Goodall For some of us the search for our unique purpose, beyond simply getting by in life, can take years. For others it is apparent and accessible with relative ease. Whilst we each express our purpose,...
There’s a world of difference between ‘being with’ and ‘being there’. In the latter we can show up physically without being fully present. Our mind (attention), emotions, spirit may be somewhere else entirely. Being with means we’re immersed wholly in each moment.

A turning down of the volume enabling a deeper contact with self. As we have emerged into the practical aspects of life, being more out there, the volume has risen once...
Most children spend at least some of their early childhood enjoying periods of what, to an adult, can look like fanciful fantasies…where we imagine all manner of delights and joyful relationships with fairies and imaginary friends in a world where anything is possible, and magic happens…and where good battles evil and usually wins. That bubble...
