“There is great evolutionary utility in being able to read the mind of another person and anticipate what they’re going to do or say.”

Michael Pollan explains how #empathy helps us survive. I believe this is the most important reason why we Homo Sapiens are still here, while the other human-type species have gone extinct.

This Huberman Lab podcast episode goes into the difference between #consciousness and sentience, how corn 🌽 can navigate mazes, if #AI 🤖 is conscious or not, and more mind-blowing goodness. 🤯

Thank you, Andrew Huberman and your team! And thank you, yes you 🫵🏼 for being here.

What do you think? Are plants conscious? Do animals feel pain? What does consciousness mean to you?

🙏🏼 🧠💚

Life’s been such a whirlwind lately that I forgot to share pictures from the actual festival. Feels like so long ago now but also just yesterday.

Very grateful for the experience, all the fun, all the blessings, all the music and workshops, all the dancing with incredible humans and of course, the lessons.

It’s a dream come true that I get to do work that I love so deeply and with humans that consistently inspire me.

Festival season has been intense this year and it’s expanded me in so many ways but I’m very grateful to slow down now and go internal as I reflect on all that this summer has taught me and see where this beautiful world takes me next 💚

Our fourth year bringing together the creative team to build Medicine Festival. Establishing a world within a world.
Inviting you into the architecture of our continuous prayer.

Thank you for showing up for each other and yourselves in every morning circle and the day (and sometimes night) that followed.

Thank you for persevering - through the myriad of challenges each days presented, for working late and giving it your all.

Thank you for weaving your incredible talents among each other to achieve more than any single one of us could have done alone.

Thanks for all the giggles, the laughs, the silliness, the fun, everything that makes such intensive work feel possible.

Thanks for giving your time to a project that really is trying to make a difference, and for supporting us at Ginger Squirrel to create inspiring, heart-centred, empowered working spaces for creatives to explore, expand and blossom.

To succinctly articulate how we feel about you all is almost an impossible task. We could write a book (on each of you)
We love you.

What an honour to work alongside you all.

This year I returned to Colibri as the production director.

It soon became clear that it was a going to take a seriously good team to pull off the full vision, between the existing Colibri family, @gingersquirrelcreative crew & new family joining the team, we pulled together & did something extraordinary.

Celebrating the team, without a doubt the biggest pleasure in my life is the feeling of working alongside such a rich tapestry of exceptional humans.

I never cease to be amazed at the sheer power of a cohesive team with a clear vision and the right culture.

It was a difficult project, but I really feel grateful for the opportunity to delve deeper into the heart centered leadership style we've been developing over the last 12 years.

Morning circles, breathwork stretches & nidras, staying in power with rather than over, facilitating connections rather than stewarding information, trusting the process, speaking truth with compassion, seeking to understand then be understood, knowing when to push and when to pull, meeting people & situations where they are not where you want them to be. Above all - knowing when to follow.
Gratitude for all my teachers along the way in life.

Thank you to everybody involved in this experience - it was transformational.

As always, full love and respect to my partners @_trang_lagioiadimare and @flying_solo_33

5 years ago when I volunteered for my first conscious festival I had no idea how much my life was about to change.

Thanks to @mrmarkalanharris and @_trang_lagioiadimare for taking me under their wing and bringing me into their @gingersquirrelcreative I can’t wait even count how many incredible moments I’ve had building festivals that mean something and we’ve just done our 2nd international festival of the year; @colibrispirit.festival

For me building these kinds of festivals brings me into presence and assurance of what an incredible gift it is to be human. Building something together that matters, in community. Eating together, building together, learning and leaning into one another. Experiencing all of the emotions of the human experience together. Laughing together. Even crying together. All one, all weaving our magic, our skills, our experience, our energies together to create a safe container for people to heal, grow, laugh, play, be seen and be heard.

Being part of such an incredible team is something I will never forget. It wasn’t easy in this heat but the whole team brought their A game, their heart, their passion, their resilience and their love to pull off this project and I will forever be grateful to each and everyone of you!

Until we meet again, thank you from the bottom of my heart 💚💚💚

Corfu 2026 🇬🇷

Another chapter closes.

From the first sketch to the final screw, it was a privilege to help shape the spaces that will now hold thousands of conversations, moments, laughter and memories.

This trip reminded me that my work has never just been about carpentry. It’s about seeing potential, solving problems, leading teams, and creating places where people can connect.

The greatest shift, though, wasn’t what I built—it was who I was while building it.

Less proving.
More presence.

Less chasing.
More trusting.

I came to finish what I started, and I leave with a deeper appreciation that our greatest creations are often the invisible ones happening within us.

Thank you to everyone at Colibri Spirit Festival for the trust, the friendships, and the opportunity to create together.

Until next time.

SOUL REVOLUTION 2026

A week ago this field was empty.

Today it holds the echoes of thousands of conversations, countless moments of connection, and the combined efforts of an incredible team who turned a vision into reality.

For me, this year was different.

I arrived as a carpenter and builder, but I leave with a deeper understanding of what I’m here to create.

I witnessed the power of community.
I witnessed people stepping into their gifts.
I witnessed what happens when creativity, purpose, and service come together.

There were long days, early starts, tired bodies, injuries, problem-solving, laughter, and moments where it felt impossible.

Yet every challenge became part of the build.

One thing became crystal clear:

I don’t just enjoy building structures.

I enjoy building environments where people can connect, grow, heal, and remember who they are.

From designing and constructing spaces, to sharing Human Design, Breathwork, and meaningful conversations around the fire, this festival reminded me that all the pieces of my life are beginning to come together.

Climber.
Builder.
Designer.
Facilitator.
Father.
Guide.

Not separate paths.

One path.

Thank you to everyone who trusted me, worked alongside me, shared stories, held space, and helped bring this beautiful event to life.

Now it’s time to head home, rest, integrate, and begin building the next chapter.

Rise Intentionally. Live Authentically.

🗣️ Real Talk ❤️‍🔥

Our Operations & Visual Arts Director, Savanna AKA @flying_solo_33 , sharing from the heart during last year’s closing ceremony 🌿

She speaks openly and vulnerably about the challenges of festival organising, the beauty of watching it all unfold, and the deep reverence we hold for everyone willing to go deep at Soul Revolution events ✨

Sav also reminds us that the real work begins after the festival - carrying that energy, presence, and truth back into everyday life. So much wisdom. 🕊️

Savanna has the heart of a lioness and a deep care for every soul who steps onto the field, something you can probably all feel when on site.

We’re celebrating Sav, celebrating every single person who shows up, and especially those brave enough to go deep in the name of growth 🌱

We need brave souls in this time!

2025 is the year of becoming.

Three Rites.
Three thresholds.
Three portals back to the truth of who we are.

Each event stands as a chapter in a greater story —
a story of men returning to their bodies,
to their breath,
to the land that remembers them even when they forget themselves.

The First Rite
calls in those ready to shed old skins —
to release what no longer carries their soul forward.

The Second Rite
meets you at the edge —
where the mountain, the circle, and the silent breath
mirror back your power, your grief, your untold story.

The Third Rite
is the crossing —
the integration, the embodiment,
the moment you realise the path was never outside you.
It was always in your bones.

2025 is not a year of events.
It is a pilgrimage.
A return to the wild, honest, unarmoured human beneath the noise.

For those who feel the pull —
the gates are open.
The land is ready.
And so are we.

This is the year of remembering.
This is the year of Rite of Passage.
This is the year of Life by Design.#RiteOfPassage #MensWork #EmotionalRelease #InnerWork #NatureHeals #AdventureTherapy #ClimbToHeal #HikeToHeal #EarthMedicine #AwakeningJourney #SoulWork #BrotherhoodHeals #EmbodiedHealing #RiseIntentionally #LiveAuthentically #LifeByDesign #KalonjiForde #walesoutdoors

“The Real Work Begins Within.” You’ve abseiled.
You’ve run the gorge.
You’ve faced the edge.

But will you face yourself?

The real work isn’t in the mountain —
it’s in the man.
In the breath.
In the silence.
In the truth you’ve been avoiding.

You’ve faced the wild.
Now meet yourself.
