The thing I loved most when I first met clay was that it truly was of the Earth. It felt like a homecoming. To have your hands moving, creating something from the land beneath your feet felt deeply poetic. It was a balm to my soul and a doorway into a connection I hadn’t realized I’d lost.

The first time I met clay was with two of my best friends, Kirst and . We were living in Bali during the chaos of the pandemic and took up hand-building classes to fill the time.

It was love at first touch. Just weeks later, Kirst and I spent a week in Ubud learning to wheel throw. It was hard, rewarding, frustrating, hilarious, and beautiful. Soon after, we opened a small ceramics studio where we spent hours creating side by side.

My creative practice became the space where I processed the messy, uncomfortable reality of being a trauma therapist. It was a space of joy and play. A space where I could simply be, without needing to do. It held me after long days of holding others.

It became a doorway to remembering the rivers of creativity gently pulsing in my veins. A bridge to Kirst when she became an angel. My rock through the grief of losing her. Even though I didn’t touch clay for nearly two years after her passing, knowing it was there was a wordless comfort.

It is what inspired me to create spaces like where others can uncover the power a creative practice holds.

Because making art is so much more than making pretty things. It is a homecoming. Every time we show up for our creative practice, we show up for ourselves. The messy. The tender. The beautiful. It held me through grief and through joy. And I know in my bones the joy of creating keeps me sane.

So go out and create. Carve out time. Stop saying you’re too busy. We all are. Lay down your to-do list and spend an hour doodling, painting, singing to your plants, or writing a poem. Witness how the urgency of the world fades. Because to be in art is to be in love. And love makes the world move slow and soft!!!

The body as a vessel for peace 🕊️🤍

You are invited to join our celebration. We are about to gather in the spirit of Lughnasadh - a festival rich with myth, gratitude, and the divine hush of late summer. We offer you a glimpse into its ancient origins and extend a heartfelt invitation to celebrate this turning with us.

In the Celtic Wheel of the Year, Lughnasadh (pronounced Loo-nah-sah) marks the first of three ancient harvest festivals, followed by Mabon and Samhain. Traditionally celebrated on August 1st, it is a sacred threshold between the fullness of summer and the early stirrings of autumn - a time to honour both abundance and impermanence.

Lughnasadh is named after the Irish god Lugh, a multifaceted deity of the Tuatha Dé Danann known for his skills as a warrior, craftsman, poet, and protector. According to Irish mythology, Lugh established the festival in honour of his foster mother, Tailtiu, who died after clearing the Irish plains for agriculture. Lughnasadh emerged as a time to honour the dead, give thanks for the harvest, and celebrate the fruits of labour.

In early Gaelic tradition, the festival was held on hilltops and in sacred gathering places. People came together for community games, storytelling, matchmaking, craft fairs, trial marriages, and ritual offerings to the land. The first grains of the season were baked into bread and offered back to the earth in gratitude. This was a time to recognise what had been gathered, what had been given by nature, by ancestors, and by the invisible forces that shape life.

A few years ago I read this quote in Braiding Sweetgrass. Recently my love .gro sent it to me again after strumbling upon it in the Book Club.

I have sat with these words often in these last few weeks. In moments of sadness, despair, and hopelessness. It has become a quiet prayer I return to each day. A prayer that we remember our collective responsibility. That we remember how deeply interwoven it all is. That we are not separate from the unfoldings of this planet.

I once read that the heart’s magnetic field extends up to five metres from the body. Which means that even when we are simply near another person, our hearts are interacting.

And I believe this is true with the world too. I witness it in my work, in the conversations I have with clients. Our hearts are not just responding to what is around us, but attuning to the world itself. Global events, collective emotion, even shifts in the atmosphere shape how we feel. We are more connected than we realise.

No matter how much we try to “protect” ourselves, by not watching the news, avoiding social media, numbing out, we are still feeling it. All of it.

And when that grief or overwhelm goes unacknowledged, it does not disappear. It lives in the body. It shows up as exhaustion, anxiety, numbness. And still, the mind tries to push through. But we are not meant to carry the weight of climate collapse, genocide, war, and all the heartbreak in the world alone.

I have seen it again and again. People struggling not because of personal pain, but because of collective grief. As wrote recently, “the psyche is participatory.”

So let us harness the power of that. Instead of turning away, contribute. Action reminds us that we are not helpless. Write to a representative. Plant a tree. Join a protest. Help a neighbour. Even the smallest act ripples.

Let your heartbreak be a gateway to love. Let it move you. Let it become the energy that guides your choices. Not to fix everything, but to contribute. To touch the world that touches you 🕊️🤍

Life lately has been a sweet little reminder to slow down and see the magic found in the moments in between.

Forever grateful for the humans I love. To relish this life with you is the greatest gift 🤍

Annabel shares how astrocartography, which is a form of locational astrology, can reveal which places on Earth support our growth, clarity, and sense of belonging. After years of international travel, she used her own astrocartography map to guide her move to France, where she now lives and supports clients in aligning with the energy of place. Together, we unpack the power of environment, the impact of location on emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and how this work can be a practical tool for people who feel stuck, restless, or out of place.

In this episode you’ll hear about:
- Annabel’s journey with energy work, intuition, and discovering astrocartography
- What astrocartography is and how it works in practice
- Why your physical location can influence your emotional and spiritual well-being

Things that made me smile this week 🧡

24/06/2025

To be unwell in an unwell world is not a personal failure. It is a response rooted in care.

If you are grieving, angry, numb, exhausted that is not weakness. That is your humanity refusing to normalise the unbearable.

No amount of morning rituals or meditation will ease the unbearable heaviness that has lived in our hearts for too many months.

Let this not be the kind of pain that shuts us down, but the kind that wakes us up. May our unwellness become a compass, pointing us toward connection, action, and love. Not the love that looks away, but the kind that stays, that mourns, that speaks, that fights 🤍
