What if creativity isn’t something you do,
but something you are?
Walk The Turning Year with me, and rediscover
the art of your own becoming.

Beginning this January, I am holding a year-long rhythm at Soulton Long Barrow, a seasonal flow to meet, honour, and tend your inner artist.

We will gather on the first Sunday of every month,
a small circle of voices heard and held. Together we will share what is rising in us with the turning season,
then soften into being held by the land itself, building reciprocal relationship, listening deeply to the world around us and to the quiet creativity that already lives within.

The Turning Year pulls together all of my skills and passions to bring you a deeply holding, seasonal exploration.

GUIDED was created as an offering for my guidance with ceremony and ritual to extend beyond my local community. For the way I hold ceremony to reach across the world. It’s doing exactly that! Are you going to join the hundreds of women absorbing the pages of this book this season?

A poem taken from my book GUIDED.

I recently received a text message from my Step-Mom saying ‘gift us respect, not fu***ng flowers’. Not going to lie, my soul jumped up out of my body! Then I realised, well actually my eldest daughter realised, it was a line from my own poem!

As the adrenaline dissipated, I realised it was my menarche poem. A poem to connect with the power of our blood 🩸

If you’re wondering what it will feel like to spend the Winter Solstice inside Soulton’s Long Barrow, this is your glimpse.

Connection, stillness, story, song and a gentle walk back to warmth. I’d love to welcome you.

✨ Winter Solstice at Soulton Long Barrow ✨

As the year turns and the light begins its gentle return, we invite you to join us for a soulful afternoon of story, song, and stillness at Soulton Long Barrow.

📅 Saturday 20th December
⏰ Barrow opens: 2.30pm | Event starts: 3pm

We’ll be joined by two extraordinary artists:
🌿 Danielle Free - storyteller and Celtic scholar, whose solstice tales are as enchanting as they are immersive.
🎶 Elin Gittins - singing solo in Welsh and English folk songs, guiding us gently into shared song and reflection.

With any luck, the winter sky will gift us an epic sunset streaming through the barrow’s stained glass, a rare and precious moment to mark the turning of the seasons. From there, we’ll carry the warmth over to Soulton Court, where mince pies, hot drinks, and good company await.

These gatherings within the barrow are truly special - a chance to pause, connect, and honour the rhythms of the year together.

Tickets are limited - book your place now and step into the magic of the Solstice: www.merryntenalach.com/merrynevents (link in bio)

Tomorrow is Telford grief cafe. I’m having a procedure at the hospital so my friend, Liz, will be holding it on my behalf. She’s wonderful and I trust her with my precious grief cafe. Do come along and have your grief heard, witnessed and share in the energy of conversations about grief, death and dying being shared openly.

GUIDED marked a turning point, in my life, in my work, in everything I create. And the messages I’ve received from readers who’ve journeyed through its pages have been nothing short of soul-stirring.

I’m so excited to share that my shelves are restocked — 100 fresh copies ready to find their new homes.

This is the book for the ones in your life who are longing for connection, for purpose, for something deeper than the way things have always been. Let’s do this.

I mentioned in an online platform that I’d love to do more stage talks, sharing my wisdom, my words, in a more formal setting. I’m good at it. I don’t get stage fright, it just feels natural.

Someone then contacted me personally to say they had created an image of me on the stage to help me market my talks to the world.

What a sweetie! I was so grateful for the gesture.

They picked a beautiful image of me. My favourite colours and season. They then put them together to create this. Maybe it’s the inner youth performer in me, all I can see is ‘Punch and Judy’ when I see those red curtains.

What do you think? Would you hire me for a talk? A book reading? 🫣

The perfect Autumn/Winter read.

Imagine this:

Rain on the window, a candle flickering, and a book that feels like ceremony itself. GUIDED is a companion for the soul.

Tender. Grounding. Full of quiet magic.
