This summer, we gathered at @medicinefestival with a crew of talented creatures to sculpt a stage out of natural materials. Alongside this, I was invited to lead the creation of a sculpture dedicated to the Divine Masculine. Together with a core team of four beautiful souls and the helping hands of many others, we built this sculpture around a wooden support anchored into the earth, with an armature made of plywood and oak branches. Straw filling gave shape to its body, while its skin was formed from a mixture of clay, sand, and straw.

The sculpture was adorned with two deer antlers gifted to me by a beautiful soul I met in the Netherlands earlier this year, and a little instrument I crafted from a root and three sheep bells gifted to me by a shepherd in Greece. Both travelled with me throughout the summer and were part of my performances. They found a new home there, holding space and protecting the portal between the Gods antlers.

Thank you, @rebecca_gilling , mud family, and @medicinefestival for embracing me, and for all the magic we shared creating together. Beyond words, we communicated through earth, touch, and our hearts.

It was a blessing to share this experience with you all!

Built around a wooden support, anchored into the earth, with a plywood armature, oak branches and straw shaping the body. Covered in a mixture of clay, sand and straw and finished with a protective layer of linseed oil.

Thank you @rebecca_gilling , mud family and @medicinefestival for embracing me. For the trust, the love, the deep sense of belonging, and one of the most unforgettable muddy times of my life. For every lesson, every experience, and everything that we shared creating together.

Thank you, lovely creatures, for getting your hands muddy, and giving your hearts to this creation! 💚

Reposting this BEAUTIFUL video from @medicinefestival shot and edited by @ebonyofearth & @jonathan.meade

It's been over a month since we all camped together in a field to create this earthen temple in honour of the birds- the herons that nest in the branches overhanging the lake behind the stage, the starlings that danced in the sky above us, and all our other intelligent and cheeky feathered friends that play such an important role in the network/ ecosystem of life!

As beautifully captured in this video, building with natural materials is deeply personal to me. It connects me to this innate process of arriving to new lands, entering visceral conversation with the animate beings who already inhabit the space, gathering/ relocating/ alchemizing the materials and ritualistically co-creating structures together. It is a process familiar to our ancestors, regardless of their specific geography.

It’s a beautiful process but it’s also hard graft! Working long hours doing manual labour in UK’s record-breaking heatwave and drought is gonna bring some stuff up (and remind one why we do natural building!) A lot of transformation occurs when a collection of 20+ people, who are all on some unique journey of living authentically, are thrown together to make art. I'm so grateful for the way we all held each other through it all.

So grateful for the morning circles, cuddles, playfulness, laughter, and medicine that you all are! Grateful for how hard we all worked and for how we let ourselves rest. You are all gorgeous creatures with a special place in my muddy lil heart! <3

26 was a wild ride. lost a dear friend, lost a court case and appeal, lost hope in the world at quite a few points. reached the one year mark of living in london and didn’t feel sure of whether i should stay or not, as I’ve not lived in one place for more than a year since I left uni and the itchy feet urge to leave and start again somewhere new is something I find hard to push past.

but over the past few months I’ve found so much joy in london - and in leaving london and exploring new places when I can. I’ve found new ways to re-energise myself (and hopefully others) to keep fighting zionism, imperialism and borders, and ever-growing appreciation for community and all the beautiful people in my life.

wouldn’t be me without a fundraising ask - so for my birthday, I would be so so grateful if you could donate to my half marathon fundraiser to help end immigration detention. @biddetention do such great work every day fighting to get people out of detention, and i promise I’m not just biased because I work there! the care and commitment my coworkers put in every day is one of my continued sources of motivation - so please dig deep and help us keep fighting against the home office & anti-migrant hate ❤️‍🔥 link in my bio❤️‍🔥

Mil last summer in her Fly Agaric costume; we trekked up to the hermitage in Dunkeld looking for her fellow mushrooms, found lots of confused looking tourists instead…

Time to hibernate! 2025 was so full in every sense- beginning in Kenya with so much abundance and intensity, then a radical shift into the depths of London, juggling 4 jobs and all that comes with life in the smoke. Turning 27 felt like a big shift…I’m slowly learning to recognise the huge importance of joy, rest and allowing the truth that comes from those places to guide your intentionality, so that we can be of best use to this beautiful world in such a pivotal time 🌍

So grateful for all the gorgeous people who’ve been part of this journey so far- It was magic to end the year with some of my oldest friends dancing under a Devonian moon. Endless love xxxxxx
