Message for April 2025 Quiet. Stillness, quiet and tranquillity are so often overlooked these days. Well, maybe unnoticed is a better description, as the noise of life is overwhelming, chaotic and rambunctious, filling the spaces between the spaces with noise. There are times when it feels almost impossible to step away, or to turn down the volume, because the 24/7 nature of life conditions us to let the noise take over and to carve out the shape of our lives. Yet, silence and quiet still exist, they are with us always, we just need to shift our awareness and consciousness

Message for March 2025 As the flowers of Spring begin to burst through the soil and the days grow slowly longer, there is a sense of renewed hope creeping up from the slumbering earth. The long darkness of winter has been felt acutely by so many this year as there is such a strong sense of challenge all around. It’s as though we have all been energetically out in a blisteringly cold blizzard trying to walk against the storm and it’s been hard work. Many of us are feeling beleaguered and weary, struggling to feel hopeful and carrying a heavy

Message for February 2025 The first few weeks of a new year often feel heavy, particularly in the darkness of the northern hemisphere. It’s only really when we reach Imbolc, when we can begin to sense the light returning again as the days grow slightly longer and the first snowdrops appear. There is often great momentum in January to start new projects and to create new resolutions, but intuitively January feels more like a month for retreat than for charging ahead. This is perhaps the first year that I’ve chosen to go with the retreat of the darkness, to sink

Message for January 2025 As the wheel of the year turns once again, we inevitably contemplate the year now behind us, as well as looking forward to the year ahead of us. Many of us make resolutions that this year will be ‘the year’ that we achieve those goals or make those long-desired changes in life. Many of us begin this process in earnest, but for many it fizzles out within a few weeks. It seems important to explore the reasons for this, presumably most of us make resolutions because we are keen to make changes, so it’s clear the

Message for December 2024 As we begin the process of reflecting upon the year that’s nearly over and contemplating the year ahead, it would be easy to see all of the trials, tribulations and challenges we’ve experienced, both individually and collectively. Most of us have had more than our fair share of hurdles and obstacles this year, and there have been times when the relentlessness of it all has felt overwhelming on every level. Perhaps it’s human nature to notice the struggles more easily than the positives, but when the struggles feel so heavy, it’s easy to stop noticing the

Message for November 2024 As the year continues to march on, it seems important to pause for a short while in order to contemplate the path ahead of us and the path behind us. It’s also wise to acknowledge the path we’re standing on in the here and now, as we can so easily forget the present moment; we get lost in things to do, places to go and people to see, losing sight of where we are in the here and now. We often go through life with our heads down, pushing against the storms as we handle the

Message for October 2024 As we continue to navigate the choppy waters in life, there is a sense of calm and serenity rising up to the surface as we find ways to live more wholeheartedly with the ebb and flow. Despite the uncertainty, finding peace with ‘not knowing’ is becoming an inspiration to live life as wholeheartedly, and as consciously, as possible. None of us can know what resides around the next corner, and it’s so important to try to make the most of every single moment, so we are not left with regrets and ‘what if’s’. As is often

Message for September 2024 September looks set to be a month of revelation and re-connection as we turn inwards in order to make some sense of the chaos all around. I’m not convinced that we, as yet, have the vocabulary to describe the current moment, as we seem to be in-between here and there, in-between the highs and lows, and in-between the breaths. It’s truly hard to articulate this current moment in order to condense and distil the words, but it also seems apt that the lack of words means that none of us can over-think, over-analyse or over-process things;

Message for August 2024 The constancy of the ebb and flow of the tides of life brings a sense of movement and shift on every level of the soul. Just as the day follows the night, when we’re brought to the threshold of change, something new surfaces, sometimes bringing insight and wisdom, but often bringing confusion and bewilderment. Sometimes we find ourselves teetering on the edge of something new, not quite ready to let go of the old although we intuitively sense the need to trust the process and fly free. At the same time, we can feel the whispers

Message for July 2024 Silence is so often under-rated. Many of us actively seek out ‘noise’ to fill up every nook and cranny of life. Noise isn’t just sound, but busy-ness. It’s as though every space in life needs to be filled and occupied, meaning silence is a non-entity for so many. Yet, without the silence, how can we have anything else? There’s silence between each breath, there’s silence between each word, each note of music. It might be brief, but silence matters. Silence shapes us, and our willingness to embrace silence has the power to open up the gateways
