Sarah and I went deep into an enriching conversation about breaking up with modern society, grief, wholeness, wildness, and resting our way through it all.

Just wrote this little line in a podcast blurb:

Embrace rest as a devotional practice, letting it trace the edges of what needs healing and attention and become a nest for deep wild dreams.

Indeed!

So much beauty 🤩

Clear sky, lit from the side by the sun in the mist, a long winding path ploughed through the snow on a frozen lake

So are you, my friend💗

After a decade without one, I have been called to build an altar. I found and added a little cauldron - makes my witchy heart so happy.
