A FIELD GUIDE

Here are some of the supplies I keep in my backpack for this journey - they are notes, tools, models and inspiration which I hope will inspire you, as they do me, as we co-create our future together. Curated, with love, from my studio.

For more regular reflections, I write a newsletter, Our Co-Created Future, which you can read here.

Making wild things happen…

The times are urgent; let us slow down - Bayo Akomolafe

Since hearing Bayo speak a few weeks ago I haven’t stopped thinking about this African saying, which is now somewhat synonymous with his work.

As someone who is perpetually restless, en

When was the last time you took a moment to really slow down? 🌀

Slow enough that you can feel your heart beating in your chest, you can feel the gentle rush of cold air up your nose as you breathe in and then, a moment later, the brush of slightly

Start close in, don't take the second step or the third,

start with the first thing close in,

the step you don't want to take.

Start with the ground you know, the pale ground beneath your feet, your own way of starting the conversation.

Start wit

I often open the Circles I host by saying that I believe sitting in Circle is something we remember, rather than something we learn.

Women have gathered in this way, around fires and kitchen tables, for millennia. Sitting together and sharing stori

My week has been flooded by this song - I’ve listened to it 50 times already, probably more.

More stillness, more movement
More existence, less improvement
More decisions, less solutions
Less inhibition, less confusion

Coming back with part two: My Favourite Fiction Reads of 2021

I don’t read nearly as much fiction as would like to, less than a quarter of the books I read in 2021. In the last couple of months I have started reading fiction before I go to bed

We are living in a moment of great transition.

Whether you feel dread about what might lie ahead, outrage at what is happening to our planet, or sadness about what has already been lost - I believe that Circle can support us to gather the resilienc

The Summer Day

Who made the world?

Who made the swan, and the black bear?

Who made the grasshopper?

This grasshopper, I mean–

the one who has flung herself out of the grass,

the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,

who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down–

who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.

Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.

Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.

I don't know exactly what a prayer is.

I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down

into the grass, how to kneel in the grass,

how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields

which is what I have been doing all day.

Tell me, what else should I have done?

Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?

Tell me, what is it you plan to do

With your one wild and precious life?
