Hello friends,

I hope this turning towards Springtime here in the Northern hemisphere finds you well and rested as we crest into March. If you're anything like me and tend to resonate strongly with the ebb and flow of the seasons, you'll be on the cusp of emerging from your winter hibernations, ready to burst forth into life once more along with the perky Daffodil buds and young Ramson leaves, the sweetly singing birds and all the curious and playful beings we might find whispering and dancing around us. It's a wonderful thing and Spring is one of my favourite seasons for it's sheer veracity and joy.

Today's epsiode of the Lumieres Podcast is with the force of nature that goes by the name of Dr Martin Shaw. I was captivated by Martin the first time I saw him tell a story live with his drums and rattles, bells on his ankles, whooping and calling and thumping his chest as he held all the wide-eyed souls crammed into a tiny Tibetan tent on a Devon hillside in timeless rapture. Here we are several years later and meeting the man in person did not disappoint; he is a veritable treasure chest of wisdom, a bard and artist of inimitable style and grace with a knack for serving up sentences that feel simultaneously fresh and ancient. I do hope you discover the shining gold contained within this conversation and check out Martin's books, his teaching at the School of Myth and keep your eye out for the next time he is performing near you, it's a rare and unmissable treat.
