‘A culture that has lost its folk medicine or its ability to heal and cure everyday problems with every day materials, has lost a part of its soul.

There is something deeply sick about Western culture. It we are to restore it to health, we need to restore its lost folk medicine soul.’

We are looking forward to gathering on Sunday to begin a new twice-monthly rhythm of devotional songs and chants, meditation and ceremony.

This is a way to deepen into the cultural and spiritual elements of the grief tending journey – singing together, taking part in simple rituals, and feeling part of a heart-centred community. If this calls to you, it would be lovely to see you there.

Save the dates:

🎶12 October - 4 to 5.30pm
🍂26 October - 4 to 6pm (with ceremony)
🙏🏻 9 November - 4 to 5.30pm
🪉23 November - 4 to 6pm (with ceremony)
💙7 December - 4 to 5.30pm (venue tbc)

We’ll be holding our own sorrows and the pain of the world in a place of prayer, opening our hearts to receive inspiration, guidance and support, and offering up a song of praise for this one precious life.

Tomorrow evening, Liz and I are hosting an online introduction to grief tending in community and you’re invited!

We will explore the lineage and approach we are working with, and introduce Francis Weller’s work on the gates of grief.

This gathering will be an opportunity to learn more about grief tending in community if you are new to this work and feeling curious about whether this approach could be of benefit to you.

I’ll share the booking link in my stories (it’s free but you need to register in advance) or let me know if you’d like me to DM you the booking link.

I spent two days exploring the luminous liminality of Iona this summer. Squelching through windswept bog, following sheep paths through the machair.

Walking between worlds under dramatic, thunderous skies and shapeshifting transcendental light.

I believe that certain places are portals which awaken more of our soul essence when we drop beneath the surface and enter into communion with the land.

Iona transmits a particular quality of gentleness and power. I felt the frequency of love flowing soft, slow and infinite through my heart. I felt the elemental might of ancient gneiss and primordial ocean reawaken the quiet power in me.

I went to Iona asking the spirits of the land to help call back all the parts of me that I had lost. My footsteps beat the ground like a callback drum and my heart is in rhythm with my soul once again.

Waves of gratitude to @greenshediona for being the most beautiful place to stay and to @hannahnunnstudio and @sarahmasonfilmmakeruk for inspiring me to go in the first place. taken in Isle of Iona by @jackieflowerspirit

Misty full moon magic on the River Waveney this evening. My heart has been opened wide by a weekend of grief tending in community, and I feel like I’m swimming in an endless ocean of love. Here’s some love, beauty and magic for you too. by @jackieflowerspirit

Hey there, remember me?
It's been a while....

I've had time out to recharge and do some of my own healing and restoring as well as having glorious times away.

I'm feeling very nourished and super inspired after my latest time away to @medicinefestival.

What an absolute treat and reminder of what's really important, what really matters

And so... back I come, back to the real world, back to work next week, back to doing what I can in my own way to make the world a better place ... supporting others into a better place of health.

September is almost here, let's go gently. Easing into this fresh start and new phase of the year.

Slowing down and letting the medicine we're seeking have the chance to find us.

Sheesh! It’s been an intense few weeks, with the Apprenticing to Grief week to learn how to hold grief ceremonies and circles, a trip to my beloved Argyll homeland including personal retreat on Iona, then the heart-expanding prayer of love at @medicinefestival.

Can you feel the transmission of pure love from @zachbushmd, Satish Kumar and Vandana Shiva in this picture? Did you see them too? I cried almost all the way through because it was resonating so deeply with what my heart knows to be true.

Sometimes I have doubted whether my devotion to love, beauty and nature is enough to transform this broken world into one that honours all of life. Their talk reminded me that we are in this together and it is our shared devotion to love, beauty and nature that makes the difference.

We need to feel our pain for the world so that it can shapeshift into the love that wants to be embodied and expressed through us as conscious, sentient beings who are part of a natural ecosystem of love.

These are chaotic and difficult times as we witness daily horror inflicted on other humans and the planet. And yet, the medicine for these times is already being awakened through the power of our hearts and our bodies.

It feels very timely that I’m helping to organise the Collapse and Emergence Workshop in Norwich next weekend (Saturday 7th Sept) facilitated by brilliant visionary humans Jenny Haycocks and Liz Day.

It’s an opportunity to join together in community to speak our truth about what’s happening in the world, how that’s impacting us, and to explore transformational practices to get in touch with our deepest humanity, creative energy, insight and wisdom.

We’ll be working with Joanna Macy’s Truth Mandala to unblock feelings of fear, sadness, anger and emptiness and an Embodied Visioning Practice based on Otto Scharmer’s work to help awaken our vision of the emerging future. We will align ourselves with the more abundant, connected and relational version of reality that is in some sense already here.

Come and join us - a brilliant group of beautiful humans is gathering. Drop a 💚 in the comments if you want me to DM you more info. by @jackieflowerspirit

Twice in the past week I’ve been asked to go and gather a bunch of flowers. I’ve found my calling!

One occasion in my beautiful friend’s garden in Yorkshire so we could take bunches to friends we were visiting, and the other by the river Wensum as a centrepiece for an introduction to grief tending.

My quiet prayer to the flowers that sits in my heart as I gather. Sometimes spoken, sometimes just silently acknowledged. ‘I love you, thank you for being. Thank you for your beauty, thank you for your life. Let love guide my hands and my heart as I gather. Thank you thank you. I love you I love you.’ by @jackieflowerspirit

Can you feel it?
