The throne in the centre of the kingdom is calling to you. It does not call to the pretender, the upstart or the usurper. It does not call to those lost in their certainties, pieties and comforting illusions of control. It calls to you. It calls to the ruminant, to the wanderer in the wilderness.…

After a period of time bringing awareness to the senses, remembering to see all the thousands of colours in a sunset, to smell the moisture and humidity in the air and to smell microchanges in the weather, to see tiny changes in patterns of light, to hear different the microrhythms and textures within birdsong or…

In the forest at sunset where liquid light coruscates through the pine trees onto the blossoms of heather everything is alive, sentient, numinous and waiting for our playful and adventurous engagement. The sound of a swallow’s wings as it cascades past is a symphony of micro-rhythms and micro-sounds. I smell the temperature and humidity of…
Hunter-gatherers only spent about 4-5 hours a day hunting and gathering. There is much larger emphasis on dreamtime, on ceremonies, on being in nature than in the modern world.

When we sense some kind…
For some reason you have been born into the broken world, at a time of great pain for the earth, at time of crisis for humanity. As a child you felt the vast benevolent powers of nature pulsing through everything. But later came trauma and forgetting. People try to convince you that the scarcity, struggle…
The word ‘panic’ originated from the Greek word Panikon meaning “fear caused by Pan.” Pan, the God of nature and wildness, is one of the hidden powers behind panic. Beneath panic, beneath anxiety, lies power and wildness. Or to put it another way anxiety is repressed or unconscious wildness. Wildness is the solution to anxiety.…
If we could see all of the dead around us we might be surprised – in some places the dead outnumber the living. They may walk into your room at night when you don’t know if you are awake or sleeping and tell you there are mysteries hidden in your house and secrets hidden in…
Where are the ancestors? And what is our relationship to them? In a sense the ancestors realm exists within our ordinary life and everyday reality; the ancestor’s stories can be found in our very sense of visceral sensory grounded embodiment, they live in our blood, our muscles, our lungs and heart, our neurology our mitochrondria…
