My @girlgodbooks workbook depathologises and normalises meeting our spiritual needs in an inclusive, creative and grounded way.

In helping us recognise our interdependence and interconnectedness with all living beings and the earth that supports them, it fosters the creation of a humane and humanitarian humanity.

Excerpts of the workbook can be read on @girlgodbooks' Patreon page & it is available to purchase now from @girlgodbooks’ website and online stores.

​Visioning beyond the horizon,
as the Tree of Life. 🌿
Knowledge through the senses.
Lone walking between worlds --
retrieving, bridging, returning, re-membering.
No one would choose this path voluntarily.
There’s no option but to blaze — ❤️‍🔥
to become the fire that lights your own way.

Dan and I shared moments of joy experimenting with acupressure tools at The Acorn Wellness Retreat Festive Fayre last weekend.
 
I am grateful to remain connected with and part of this community.
When I was self-employed and freelancing, this sensory-friendly and holistic wellbeing venue in Nidderdale, near Harrogate, was where I facilitated all my live one-on-one sessions, workshops, and retreats.
 
This December, I am thinking systemically envisioning and calling in this type of community and environment within societal systems, institutions, and services…
 
compassionate, gentle and relational values, interconnected and interdependent care, alongside low arousal and sensory-friendly environments, which centre holistic wellbeing approaches.

🎃 Halloween at York St John University 🎭

I had the absolute pleasure of spending Halloween at York St John University with Dr. Morag Galloway and her incredible Musical Theatre undergraduate students. Together, we explored intuition, embodiment, and energy medicine practices — supporting students in developing mastery over performance anxiety and deepening their connection to presence.

I facilitated practices to help them:
✨ Connect to the “I” and the “We” simultaneously
✨ Hold and share personal power within creative spaces
✨ Stay tuned in to their unique bodyminds, inner guidance and wisdom
✨ Understand and work with their nervous systems
...and so much more!

It was such a powerful and inspiring day — being in an educational environment that truly values creativity, wellbeing, and holistic learning. I’m deeply impressed by York St. John University & its commitment to being a progressive and inclusive space. 

Obviously, I can't share photos of the students so this post includes a picture of the the venue. We worked predominantly with our most essential instruments — body, mind, energy, and voice — allowing the practice to stay individually relevant, deeply embodied and authentic.

"The season of Samhain is a time when the veils between the mundane and sacred are thinner and we can ‘see’ through illusion and dysfunction, and filter through distortion to our own authentic truth.

The festival of Samhain falls on the wheel of the year halfway between Mabon and Yule, the Winter Solstice. Many associate Samhain with calendared Halloween but the two are in fact different festivals.

At Samhain there is a recognition of – and the visible connectivity with – death, but it is framed within the trust and faith that through giving death to the old we transform and regenerate and give birth to something new."

​If you're someone who goes first --

Who questions.

Who imagines alternatives.

Who refuses to settle.



Remember: the stages of how others respond to new ideas often sound like this:

1. This is worthless nonsense.

2. This is an interesting, but perverse, point of view.

3. This is true, but quite unimportant.

4. I always said so.

(John Haldane)



Keep going.

Making Love with the Divine

"Making Love with the Divine invites us to explore our experiences of the erotic current that animates our bodies and our lives. A current whose natural flow and vitality is often stifled, distorted and shamed within patriarchal culture.

This book seeks to open up the conversation by asking us how we experience our own sexuality and eroticism, and how this flow of aliveness can be a portal to feeling the divinity inside of us, and beyond us.

Based on her research and clear devotion to this path, Kay Louise Aldred has created a supportive year-long workbook that provides a practical framework for anyone who feels a call towards liberating their body and deepening relationship with their sacred erotic aliveness."

-Carly Mountain, Sex and Relationship Therapist and author of Descent & Rising.



I published this book in January 2023 with @girlgodbooks (available via their website or all major online retailers). In writing it, I came face-to-face with just how deeply disconnected — and even phobic — we are, as a society, from our bodies. Across all settings.



Now, another of my works is coming of age. I can feel it. It's ready to support the vision and building of a new era — new culture, new systems, new norms.

I'm deeply grateful to @carly_mountain for her beautiful endorsement and the powerful work she herself brings into the world.

Somatic Shamanism

“Where our minds are vexed by modernity, with even our wilder hopes limited by reason and logic, our creaturely bodies house and animate our strangest imaginations. We live all possibilities out loud through our bodies. We speak through our skin. We wield the intelligence of the flesh, our “fleshy knowings” as Kay Louise Aldred describes them. Move through this workbook like a prayer; it’s a beautiful and timely achievement.”

-Danielle Dulsky, Founder of The Hag School



I feel like the content of this workbook, which I authored and published (via @girlgodbooks, which is available from their website or online stores) in June 2023, is finally coming of age.

Grateful for this beautiful endorsement that the book received: 'we speak through our skin ... we wield the intelligence of our flesh"
