Fire is more than a flicker of flame - it is a powerful teacher.
From a scientific perspective, fire transforms energy, recycles nutrients, and shapes ecosystems, creating space for new growth and life. Indigenous and animistic traditions see fire as a living presence, a guide and partner that teaches respect, balance, and renewal.
Through ceremony and careful stewardship, fire becomes a bridge between the human and natural worlds, offering lessons in patience, transformation, and the cycles of life.
Join me as we explore fire’s dual nature - both destructive and regenerative - and uncover its profound wisdom. This talk invites reflection, storytelling, and insight from both scientific understanding and Indigenous ways of knowing, illuminating how fire teaches us to live in harmony with the world around us.

Community drumming, weaving the sounds of our drums with the song of the Earth. Join a friendly group for this fun, interactive drum circle, tuning into this energetic and animistic tradition of our land and ancestors.
During the monthly drumming circle, participants are invited to co-work with a seasonally curated selection of vibrational essences, most of which I have personally co-created with various plants, animals or birds. Experiencing the wisdom of these beings through drumming offers deeper insights into both the beings and oneself.
At the heart of our drumming circle is a very special Community Drum, which allows six people to drum with her simultaneously. I warmly encourage everyone to take their turn to connect-in and co-work with her. Together, with her, we provide the central heartbeat and direction of each weaving.
Drumming has been shown to help ease stress and anxiety, bring joy and boost mental health and well-being - so come with an open heart and mind and have some fun!
No prior experience is required. If you wish to attend but don’t have a drum, I always bring a selection along for participants to work with.
Date: Sunday 19th April 2026, 10am - 1pm

TALK - LIVE ONLINE
Wisdom of Spring
MONDAY 18th MAY 2026 - 7PM to 8.30PM
Spring arrives not as a sudden bloom, but as a remembering.
Here on this land, the old rhythms stir again. The quiet wisdom carried through soil, root, and wing. Indigenous knowing teaches us that this season is not just about growth, but about relationship to place, to element, to the unseen threads that bind us.
Fire returns first, not in destruction, but in spark. The warming sun, the quickening blood, the subtle ignition of intention. It asks: what within you is ready to be kindled?
The blackbird sings before the world fully wakes. Its call is both boundary and blessing; a gentle reminder to claim your space, your voice, your presence in this turning season.
At your feet, wood anemones open gently to the light, ancient woodland dwellers that bloom briefly and remind us of life’s fleeting beauty. They do not rush. They arrive exactly when the conditions are right.
And in the margins (pond, ditch, and shadow) frog emerges. A keeper of thresholds, moving between water and land, teaching transformation, adaptability, and the courage to cross between worlds.
Come and join me as we weave the wisdom of spring through the element of fire, the animals, plants and birds that hold this season as their own.......
