I am sitting with my connections in the Web of Life and learning about what is needed from us right now. What came is that when we go off seeking answers outside of ourselves, when we go off in our heads to past or future, we abandon our post in the Web of Life. We are being called to be […]
Devastating news images and social media posts detailing horrific suffering are bringing peace globally to the top of the agenda for so many of us, but what is peace and how do we bring it about? If this is not a spiritual question, then I don’t know what is. It calls us to go within and ask and sit in […]
This post is just a very short introduction to animal communication. There is so much that can be said on this subject. Here I focus on Human and animal communication. We tend to think of communication as an indication of intelligence and, because our ability to understand Human communication is much more developed, I suspect this has contributed greatly to […]
We are increasingly becoming aware of the harms of our perceived disconnection from the natural world and of increasing polarization amongst our fellow Humans. Whilst we work hard to counter the effects of climate change, loss of wildlife, war and social injustice, surely we cannot fix these problems using the same mindset that created them. As a foundation, we need […]

It can also open your eyes and signpost you to experiencing the world in a different way. Appreciating and exploring (with permission) the languages of other cultures is a delight I highly recommend.

I am coming to understand that spirituality needs to play more than just a supporting role in what I […]
3rd September 2022 Down on the south coast of England is a little patch of heaven. A patchwork of habitats offer wonderful places for birds to rest, breed and feed. Great habitats for birds are often a positive result from human activities – former landfill sites and gravel pits as well as managed nature reserves. I heard someone describe the […]
I have a confession to make – a few years ago we had some squares of artificial grass to make the path in our garden. Obviously, this was before I was aware that it breaks down and sheds microplastics into the environment. It was also before I appreciated just how much impact plants in soil have on climate change and […]
Did you know that the soil contains at least 3 times more carbon than exists in the atmosphere? There are believed to be around 2 trillion tons of carbon stored in the world’s soils. However, human activities have released vast quantities of carbon dioxide from the soil already and man-made climate change is making it even more challenging. It is […]
