Babies feel so much more than we realize, from bright lights to rough handling. Imagine a world where every birth is gentle, respectful, and honors the baby's experience. It’s about serving new life with compassion. How can we bring this to more doctors and midwives?

🎥 Kerry Veith & Pablo Castro — FFOREST, Sacred Breath & Evolutionary Community
There are certain spaces in the world where something profound happens — where birth, life, death, love, healing, and community are held with reverence, integrity, and deep humanity.
For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of participating in the work and gatherings created by Kerry Veith and Pablo Castro — including their annual July event at FFOREST, near Abergavenny in Wales.
Kerry embodies a rare and powerful presence — a maternal, shamanic, priestess energy that holds people through transformation with wisdom, courage, and compassion.
Pablo brings a beautiful, gentle masculine — grounded, attentive, and deeply respectful of the sacred processes unfolding within community.
Together, they create spaces that feel less like retreats and more like living temples of human connection.

I would genuinely love to see people from my existing communities, podcast listeners, filmmakers, healers, seekers, and fellow travellers there.

🎥 Documentary & Storytelling Vision
Last year, I recorded a brief podcast conversation in front of the resident llamas — a moment of simplicity and magic.
This year, I feel inspired to go further, potentially documenting the retreat through film and recorded testimonials, capturing voices, stories, and lived experiences on the final day.
I would love to explore the possibility of creating a gentle documentary and recorded reflections — honouring the intimacy, consent, and sacred nature of the space.
To Kerry, Pablo, and the wider Sacred Breath community:
I love you all, and I deeply honour the work you are doing in the world.

🌍 Wider Vision — Conversations With Svend (CWS)
Alongside this, I’m connected with a wider ecosystem of retreats, gatherings, and conversations exploring:
• dating and relating
• conscious sexuality
• social prescription and nature-based wellbeing
• nervous system regulation
• healing, money, power, and authenticity
• community, intimacy, and evolutionary culture
Through the Conversations With Svend podcast and YouTube channel, I invite you into these dialogues — not as abstract theory, but as lived, embodied experience.
If you feel called to explore how to live more authentically, vulnerably, and aligned with your core values, I warmly invite you to:
• subscribe to the channel
• join the CWS community
• explore conversations on nervous system regulation, intimacy, money, sexuality, and purpose
We are learning not just how to survive, but how to belong, to love, and to create new cultural templates for human connection.
