| A warm welcome ~ Tuning Into October 2026 |
| “At any time you can ask yourself, At which threshold am I now standing?” |
| As the seasons quietly turn, I find myself thinking about the Irish poet and philosopher John O’Donohue, who wrote so beautifully about thresholds“At any time you can ask yourself At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? Where am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold? What gift would enable me to do it? A threshold is not a simple boundary; it is a frontier that divides two different territories, rhythms and atmospheres” from To Bless the Space Between Us.Autumn is one of nature’s great thresholds. The days become shorter, the trees begin to let go, and the world gently encourages us to do the same. Rather than seeing this as an ending, I like to think of it as an invitation, a time to pause, reflect, and appreciate all that has ripened over summer, before embracing a season of deeper rest.In sound meditations this month, we’ll be exploring that same gentle transition, creating space to release tension, quieten the mind, and reconnect with the calm that is always waiting beneath the surface.Wherever you find yourself this October, I hope you’ll find moments to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the simple gift of being present. |
 Giving Back & Supporting Wellbeing ~ This September, I had the greatest pleasure of sharing mini sound meditation sessions with the incredible staff in the ICU at Derriford Hospital, a little moment of calm and wellbeing during what can be incredibly demanding days. 💙 |
