Jen Le Marinel: Wildfire Walks

09/05/2025

Head to London. Immediately find the wildest place possible! 🤪🌿🌳😂

Wild woman on tour!

Here for the One Woman Conference, where I’ll be MC for 400 incredible women open to growth and connection over two days. I love this event, but it’s also pretty full on being in a hotel for two days, so I’m topping up on Vitamin N and D while I can! ☺️🌿

See you there?!

Day 38: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”

Wild salad! Today’s lunch consisted of salmon and a foraged salad of 12 wild ingredients (beech, hawthorn, lime leaves, vetch, wild garlic, crow garlic, plantain, sorrel, daisies, cow parsley, garlic mustard and dandelion). Beautiful, nutritious, delicious!!

🌿 Inspired by the book “Paradise in Plain Sight”, between spring equinox (ish) and Beltane (1st May) I’m going to be sharing a daily post of a “paradise in plain sight” moment. One of those small but exquisite moments that makes life special. And I invite you to join me!

🌿No obligation, no competition, no prizes, simply the joy of witnessing the moments of paradise right here, right now, in this glorious season of spring.

🌿 To take part, simply share a photo of your little moment of paradise each day under my post, or post on your own profile and tag me, and share the love!

🌿 No, we cannot and must not ignore the awful things happening in the world but we CAN choose to not lose hope, and to live in the light, and to cherish the beauty and magic that surrounds us. Gratitude and appreciation of beauty are powerful forces.

Day 37: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”

Gardening with bare feet! My feet just didn’t want to be in boots today, so out they came. My client did look at me slightly strangely at first, but ohh it felt so good!

Bare feet on grass or bare earth is SO good for us in so many ways. Ok, so bare earth might not be for everyone (although I dare you to try it!), but with all this gorgeous weather at the moment I really encourage you to get your feet out on the grass at some point! It’s great for grounding and de-stressing, especially combined with some big deep breaths.

Day 35/36: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”

Fire, fresh air, feasting and friendship! A hearty weekend in the woods with dear friends, completely offline. Simply heaven!

Precious connection, love, laughter and nourishing time on the land. Songs around the fire. Tree planting and bramble clearing. We heard a cuckoo too! It really doesn’t get much better than this!

Day 34: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”

Settling in for a weekend under canvas and around the fire with some dear friends. My tent feels like home from home, and I’m so grateful to be in the loving and collaborative support of a village of hearty folk this weekend. Likely to be offline til Sunday - bliss!

Day 33: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”

A good few hours tackling masses of ground elder in a regular gardening client’s gorgeous garden! Much respect for this plant, it is TOUGH!! Persistent, abundant, thriving. Smells nice too! You can also add it to your salad!

Sadly it does tend to smother everything else, so most gardeners understandably want to get it under control. It’s a laborious job, the roots are tangled, deep and brittle. But ohhh so satisfying and absorbing. It’s a mindful and physical job. Hands in the earth, out in the fresh air, bird song and spring growth all around.

And as an added bonus, my lovely client bought me a Lindt bunny too! Such a sweetie.

It has been a real balm in a tricky week to get back to the basics, to get back to the grounding of hands in earth. Definitely paradise in plain sight ☺️🌿

Day 32: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”

Green! The long-needed rain over the last couple of days has sent everything into a vibrant burst of fresh green growth and ohhh it fills my heart!! Today the green leaves were shimmering as the sunlight reflected off the rain drops and everything had a fresh, new feel to it ☺️💚🌿

Day 28-30: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”.

A gorgeous mini adventure with a dear friend in Pembrokeshire. A hearty yomp, a brisk sea swim, lots of laughs, a night in the tent under frothy cherry blossom, a beautiful “q***r ecology” day at a land-based community tucked away in the Preselis, getting to know diverse human and more-than-human folk, and a weekend off social media.

I’d never really resonated with the word “q***r” much before. Yesterday, in a gorgeous, hearty, land- and heart-based workshop, a whole new meaning to it opened up for me. It’s about way more than sexuality, gender and identity.

It’s a whole way of looking at and experiencing the world, as beyond the binary. About relating and decolonialising and collaborating and symbiosis and synergy. Acceptance and appreciation and expression and love. Feeling touched, grateful, thoughtful and nourished 🙏🏼🌿💛

Day 27: Today’s “Paradise in Plain Sight”.

A baby slow worm in my allotment! So do beautiful. And hopefully a good slug eater!!

Then the colours of these apple blossoms made me stop and stare on the way home. Like something from a painting, only so much better, dancing in the breeze! ☺️
