Welcome to my first interview challenge podcast for this series! My lovely friend, Ginni chose Barefoot Walking as her ritual to try for a week. We discuss what self-care means to us and our struggles with it as "just another tick box," and we spend a week being barefoot for a time in our gardens to see if it's something that will energise us or become a lasting ritual.

Every month I record a set of affirmations for you to listen to as many times as you need. This set of affirmations are designed to help you out of a funk - when you're feeling pretty low and fed up and you can't seem to find a decent way out of it. They are written to call in the present and your presence and put you in a more positive mindset. Take yourself somewhere quiet and peaceful, take a deep breath and then press play!

Welcome back to the mystical drifter podcast! It's been a long process but I'm so excited to be starting again with a slightly different format. This episode is like a mini life update, an introduction into what this podcast will be about and the types of episodes that will be played. I attempt to explain my own approach to spirituality and try and explain what this podcast is and what it isn't. I hope you'll rejoin me on this adventure into ritual, meaning making and friendship.

As this week includes Apple Day I thought I'd republish my Wassail episode from earlier this year. 

The apple tree I wassailed back in January now has an abundance of apples (though all far too high to pick and right below it is a big patch of stinging nettles so I hope the birds, wasps and maggots enjoy!

I’m back baby! Join me for a dissection, prod and poke around the word “should.” Why does that word trigger us so? When can “should” actually be helpful? Thanks to all the community pals for sending in their ideas around this word.

In this episode I attempt to distill what I’ve learned so far about spirituality and faith since I started recording this podcast. Thank you to everyone that’s joined me so far on this journey!

This week we try a meditation to cleanse our energy using the element of earth, air, fire and water as our materials. This is a particularly good meditation for when you’re feeling pretty heavy with negativity or other people’s energy. When you need a shift or to shake things up this is a good one for you!

My potted history of the May Fair, both from an objective and subjective point of view! I explore why it is a special festival to me and why it’s a part of my heritage. Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mysticaldrifter)

To celebrate Earth Day I’ve made another grounding meditation. This time we visualise ourselves as seedlings moving from from one small pot to the bigger garden space.

Join me for an uplifting, informative and exploring chat with Jess. We go into all things “personality types” (for want of a better word). Jess tells us about human design and I bodge together a fairly coherent intro to the enneagram and we talk about why these “typing systems” particularly speak to us. We’ll look at the benefits and drawbacks of knowing other people’s “types” and remind ourselves that these systems tell only a drop of our personal stories.
