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.

Beyond the Brain: Further Reaches of Consciousness Research.
I really enjoyed attending this online @scimednet @aleftrust #beyondthebrain2025 #consciousnessstudies conference in November.
 
More coming related to this topic in 2026, I hope!

​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.

​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.

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"

Can you believe that it’s almost November? Still trying to understand what happened this year!



The great news is that it’s almost time for a new episode of the NDV Podcast, with the amazing and very special @kaylouisealdred ! 🤗





From Diagnosis to Self-Compassion: Kay’s Story of Healing and Embodiment



Diagnosed as autistic at 47, @kaylouisealdred shares her powerful journey of late diagnosis, healing, and self-acceptance. 💜



I connected with Kay last Autumn, as I joined the Neurodivergent Wellbeing Approach training that she leads at @ndconnectionuk. I’ve learnt so much from Kay during the training and she has become an inspiration since then.



We had a wonderful and insightful conversation with a focus on the importance of the connection between the mind and body, which we so often miss.

We talked about late diagnoses, menopause and neurodivergence, parenting and a lot more!



Thank you so much for being a guest on the NDV Podcast, Kay! It’s been an immense pleasure to interview, and I can’t wait for Saturday, 1st November to share your story! 🩵

Don’t miss it!
