I honestly can’t believe that all people of conscience, especially those in spiritual communities aren’t screaming from the rooftops about the mass starvation and murder of Palestinian’s that we are witnessing.

Where are my peers?
My teachers?
My friends?

I can only hope that 21 months on, you are exercising your privilege in other tangible ways beyond your voice in the streets and online spaces. If you aren’t, I invite you to consider your role as a spiritual person because there is no deity, god, goddess or spirit that isn’t calling you to rise up in love and fury for our human kin in Gaza. Nobody should be sitting this out.

I didn’t think it was possible but the evidence coming out of Gaza gets more horrific by the day. Over 100 people, mostly children, have died from malnutrition with numbers going up by the hour. We’ve seen babies - starved to death- take their final silent breaths. Children - bombed - bleeding out on hospital floors with their intestines visible. Famished parents and doctors collapsing in hunger and anguish. Emaciated bodies of all ages dead or slowly dying empty deaths. Facilitated by those who stayed silent.

The UN have declared this a Femi-Genocide. A women is killed every hour. Women and girls = 67% of those killed by the IOF as Israel seem to wipe out women and all hope of continuing Palestinian bloodlines. The report states
‘The crimes inflicted on Palestinian women and girls by Israeli occupation forces are so extreme that existing concepts in legal and criminal frameworks can no longer adequately describe or capture them.’

My dear friend on this path always reminds me, “Some of us are here on holiday and some of us are here to do the work.”

True spiritual work involves getting into the trenches and digging out the people thrown in by the mercy of our privilege. It’s our job to dismantle the colonial systems of oppression and ignorance that is killing life and lands.

What is there to say?
I am heart broken
Crying rivers as I howl into what feels like an abyss
Howling for the silent screams of starved children, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, dying slow and empty deaths
Ravished by war on the outside
And hunger on the inside
Howling for all of Gaza, all of Palestine, all the lives, land and lineage stolen
For all the children shot in the head, limbs, ge****ls as they sought food for their families
And their carers
For all the doctors, trying to save lives with no food or medicine to administer

How are you they ask?

There’s a howl embedded in everything.
How helpless I am
How angry I am
How grief stricken I am
How, with our incredible capacity for love and creativity, have we ended up here?

How do we live in a world that allows this
This g e n o c i d e
How cruel

How can a mind dream such a dream?
How do we go about our days whilst Gaza is being starved?

How are you silent?
A howl embedded in every How, in everything.

Gaza is starving
How are you?

Summer Solstice 2025

Gratitude to all the nature, earth, and sky spirits, all the people of conscience who showed up on the streets for our kin in Palestine and Iran and for humanity and justice for all. Extra ♥️♥️ for our Love is Resistance crew who travelled far and wide to show their solidarity. I love you pals ♥️

Tears of gratitude, hope and sorrow shed yesterday - as there is most days .

Gratitude for the deep shared love of kindred spirits rising up for those we haven’t met but know as our kin. Gratitude always for earth - there is no other, only mother. her astounding beauty, sustenance, creativity and constant commitment to life despite all we throw at her. She is ♥️
the purest heart medicine that grows and flows so freely from all of her. She’s a divine miracle of the highest proportions.

Sorrow - a constant companion these days for the suffering of the Palestinian people being starved and murdered in the most horrific way and numbers that should make the world weep and leaders hang their heads in shame. Sorrow for the people of Iran now subject to terror and bombing from the same genocidal entities USrael.
Sorrow for all the injustices dealt by Empire - to our human and non human kin, to all lands, rivers, seas and skies - I am sorry.

And Hope - we are waking and rising up in ever greater numbers, mobilised by a deep knowing that another world is possible. A world where all humans are treated with the same respect and dignity. A world where we can all nurture our lands and loved ones in love, peace and freedom.
A new day will dawn.

Free Palestine, Free Iran, Free Congo, Free Sudan, Free all lands.

People of conscience around the world are on tenterhooks awaiting updates on the and the 12 brave hearted humanitarians attempting to break the siege and deliver baby food, medicine and flour to the starved population of G a z a.

In 2010 a similar mission was thwarted by Israeli when they stormed the boat and murdered 10 unarmed humanitarian workers attempting to deliver aid to the population who were also besieged then. The Palestinian struggle is a century old.

The stakes couldn’t be higher for Madleen and the 12 brave souls on board who represent humanity’s unwavering solidarity and love for our Palestinian kin. They have literally put their lives on the line to shine a light on the failure of our governments to stop Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people and to bring hope to a besieged people that they are not forgotten. Our governments are failing but the people will find a way to you.

These next hours are crucial. All eyes on
Email at fcdo.correspondance@fcdo.gov.uk and demand the safe passage of Madaleen and her crew

And join the march on 21st June . Free Palestine until it is so 🤍

Day 71 of the I s r a e l i blockade on G a z a. Nothing but bombs has entered for 71 days - no food, water, medicine, aid. The horrors and suffering P a l e s t i n I a n people are being subjected too are insurmountable.


2.1 Million of the most vulnerable people on Earth are being intentionally starved to death by I s r a e l and its International allies who abet them by staying silent or continue arming them. Thousands of aid trucks sit blocked at the border. All humanitarian efforts have been destroyed. Aid workers, doctors, journalists have all been targeted and killed. The independent humanitarian collective was attacked in International waters on its way to Gaza.

Life hangs in the balance for everyone in Gaza. The entire population facing slow and painful death by starvation or targeted bombing. It’s the worst humanitarian crisis aid agencies have seen and completely engineered.

Ethnic cleansing was always I s r a e l’s plan. We all feared it would come to this but never imagined that the entire world would not be able or willing to stop them.

Time is running out for the people of Gaza - and it will run out for those responsible. Speak up friends.
Take to the streets. Boycott.
Hold your MP to account.

I s r a e l may think they can erase P a l e s t in e from their lands, from global consciousness but they are wrong. Humanity has been broken and remade in the name and shape of Palestine.
In our truest essence we are all Palestinian; courageous, strong, passionate, fierce lovers of land and people. We are all human.

Support these grassroots community projects for when the blockade ends .

And keep talking about Palestine

The time will come
When, with elation
You will greet yourself arriving
At your own door, in your own mirror
And each will smile at the others welcome
And say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
To itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life…
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
The photographs, the desperate notes,
Peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life ♥️

This for me is the practice of embodiment. To give thanks for this body, this life, this earth, in its constantly evolving shape and form. With joy, grief, hope and prayer - always moving.

Teaching Yoga this Wednesday morning . I’ll greet you at the door 🌹

Preparing for Daylight Savings Time and the clocks springing forward this weekend - a change that always feels like an unwelcome interference with my bodies higher intelligence.

We and our 24 hour Circadian Rhythm are finely tuned to nature, the solar and lunar cycle and our environment. Moving the clocks forward and reducing our day to 23 hours causes a sleep deficit that plays out in our cognition, cells and tissues.

In the days following the change in clocks, studies have shown an increase in traffic accidents, cardiovascular disturbances and A & E admissions, missed appointment and general feelings of malaise. It can often feel like having jet lag.

The change can be especially tough on those with dysregulated sleep and adolescents already navigating fluctuating hormones on a daily basis.

The British Sleep Society are in favour of abolishing the clock change and staying on standard time as the change yields so many adverse effects and very few, if any, positives.

In these coming days try going to bed and getting up 15mins earlier than normal to reduce the impact when the change takes place.
Practice restorative yoga in the afternoon or before bed to ready you for rest.
Get outside upon waking.
Be kind and compassionate to self and others - especially teenagers 😴

I’m teaching 2 nurturing restorative sessions to help support us through the transition.
Saturday 3.30pm Sacred Saturdays
Somatic Release & Restore - preparing our bodies to navigate the transition. Book my session or a full day of movement, song and dance with a lovely community.
Monday 8pm Queens Park - 90mins of gentle somatic movement and restorative with scent and sound to restore equilibrium to our system. I’d love to see you there.

I fully acknowledge the privilege of the content of this post and any wellbeing related content when our friends in Palestine are subject to the horrors of genocide and unimaginable horrors. Praying for an end to their subjugation, their liberation and that all those responsible will be held to account. Free 🇵🇸

Gratitude on this Spring Equinox morning for the winged kin, who sing to us through thick and thin. A world without you and your song would be filled with your absence.

Gratitude for the ancestors, for my body and existence on this incredible home body of Mother Earth - privilege i don’t take for granted for one single moment.

Gratitude for all the nature spirits, our more than human kin that we coexist alongside on our beautiful benevolent Mother Earth.

Gratitude gratitude gratitude for sovereignty and freedom to roam these lands. Prayers and offerings will be made today for all our kin who don’t have these basic human rights.

May the light shine on the souls that need it most and illuminate the conscience and consciousness of those who are lost in the darkness.

2 months in to London life and I am SO ready for my trip to Cornwall this weekend. . My loves, land and the waters are calling.

On Friday night I’m back at studio (oh how I’ve missed you) for a somatic release and restorative workshop and on Saturday & Sunday I’m facilitating some gentle movement and restorative on an retreat for the wild wonder Katy and her guests. I believe there is a room available if you feel the call for some last minute R & R this weekend.

I love these beautifully tender offerings that offer respite from the pace and noise of the world. The emphasis with this work is always to create feelings of safety and space in our nervous system so that our bodies remember the deep well of wisdom and wellbeing inherent within.

These are crazy wild times that require a tender devotion and honouring of all that is beautiful. Soft strength, Mother Nature, Kinship and Love will always be the answer.

Link in bio to book R & R @ Highcliffe and reach out to Katy if you’d like to gather in the beautiful wilds this weekend.

Can’t wait to see you Cornwall ❣️
