I've had an absolute nightmare trying to pull this together whilst on the road. The phone software is temperamental, to put it mildly, so I've lost or corrupted several edits. Hence the late release date, but it's here now. And I've the hang of things now. 

It has been an extremely soggy start to the pilgrimage, but we've also enjoyed days of sunshine and experienced incredible generosity from people who've put us up, fed us, washed our clothes and given us beds for the night. 

This first week has mainly been focused on working out what we're doing, getting to know each other, learn the play, set our intentions and get into the flow of the pilgrimage. It's a lot harder than I remember. 

But it's still the greatest privilege. To be on the road, with such wonderful company, walking in Kairos time. The rain has not dampened our spirits. Huzzah!

This week we slip through time to the year 1536, the fateful year Queen Anne Boleyn was executed, as Kentwell Hall once again bursts into life with its magnificent Tudor re-creation. For decades, this extraordinary gathering has welcomed hundreds of history buffs to step into the shoes of ordinary folk and high-born gentry alike, and this year’s happenings were as rich and wild as ever.

In this episode I capture the flavour of Kentwell: the dubious cures for syphilis being hawked by earnest ‘physicians’, the dangerous sparks of alchemists attempting to make gunpowder, and the rowdy activity of arse-wrestling, well oiled of course. But beyond the mischief and merriment, it’s also about the people. Catching up with cherished friends, fellow historians, and Kentwell enthusiasts who together weave this living tapestry of Tudor England.

Come walk with me through the stillrooms, the brewers, the bakers and the alchemists, where history is not simply remembered but lived, argued, sung, and wrestled with. Kentwell is never just re-enactment – it’s a world apart, and for a brief moment, the year 1536 is as real as our own.

This episode is all about Boomtown 2025, and the story we wove there in the La Luna Coven. Boomtown’s theme for next year is Radical Redesign, but this year, we were already living it. We built a time machine, travelled with a crystal through past and future, and dreamt up a world where difference is celebrated, technology and nature work in harmony, and everyone thrives.

I’ll be sharing what happened inside our Coven at Old Town, the visions we imagined with the festival-goers, and what it felt like to open the Lion’s Gate stage before tens of thousands of people, calling in the Guardians of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, the Horned God and the Great Goddess.

This is a story about imagination, resistance, and hope. It’s about stepping away from fear and towards love, every step of the way.

So come with me, into the chaos of Boomtown, and discover what a Radical Redesign of the future might really look like.

I'm off on pilgrimage soon! Please help support me to make this happen by donating to my crowdfunder... https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/pilgrimage-for-peace

In this episode, I’m speaking from the heart about my fight for fairness and equality—not just in politics or policy, but in everyday life. I talk about what it means to stand up when it’s uncomfortable, to challenge systems that are built to exclude, and to keep showing up even when the odds feel stacked. 

I also explore how easy it is to be blind to our own privilege, and how real change starts when we’re willing to examine the power we hold. And yes, I even make a case for tax. I believe paying tax is a good thing, a sign that we care about each other, that we believe in services, support, and shared responsibility. 

This episode is a rallying cry for those who still believe in building a fairer world, one small, stubborn act at a time.

For this special 50th episode, I’m joined by the incredible Seed Sistas – two dear friends who have profoundly shaped my understanding of magic, health, vitality, and the deep, reciprocal relationship we can cultivate with the natural world.

Forming friendships with wild plants has been a cornerstone of my pilgrimages. As I’ve walked across the UK, these living beings have offered me company, wisdom, and wonder. With them by my side, I’ve never felt alone. This way of experiencing the world has become utterly precious to me – a source of joy and transformation that I couldn’t now imagine life without.

It has also taught me a profound empathy for indigenous peoples who witness the destruction of their more-than-human kin – trees, plants, animals – and feel that loss as we would a friend or family member. All life is sacred. All relationships matter.

I absolutely adore the way the Seed Sistas see the world, and it’s a true privilege to introduce them to you. These visionary, warrior women bring so much wisdom, humour and heart – and I can’t wait for you to meet them

During this week’s podcast, I reflect on the adventure that unfolds when I let the universe lead and trust the unknown. I explore the lessons of Mercury Retrograde, tune into Kairos time, and speak on the importance of keeping my nervous system regulated by trusting the process — especially as I head into a season where everything seems to be happening at once.

How do I disrupt the old narratives, stay organised, meet my responsibilities, earn money, and nurture my relationships — all at the same time?

It is possible, if I stay calm and trust that all will be well.
And all will be well, if I create it to be so.

So mote it be.

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I finally sat down with someone who's become a bit of a mystery and a marvel to me over the past few years: Ray Howard.

When I first heard of Ray, he was introduced with a wink and a grin as “the island’s hobo.” That label never sat quite right with me – and after our conversation, I know why. Behind the weather-beaten clothes and wandering spirit is a razor-sharp mind with a deep curiosity for the unseen structures that shape our world.

Ray is, in truth, a travelling intellectual. Though often spotted on Sark, he’s mainly based in Oslo and has an intense fascination with the mechanics of linguistics – not just how we speak, but what our words hide, what they reveal, and how meaning lives between the lines. Our chat spiralled into the philosophy of language, the layers beneath conversation, and the strange, shifting relationship between truth and perception.

It wasn’t just a talk – it was a peeling back of the layers of meaning. Ray’s mind dances between ideas like stepping stones, and I found myself running to keep up. In the best way.

If you’re into language, travel, or challenging assumptions, this episode is for you. And if you've ever passed someone off with a label – even playfully – this one might just make you look again.

#47 Let’s Kick this Reality to the Curb & Be the 51%

I’m feeling rebellious, disruptive, and fed up with the status quo. It’s time for a change—and it has to rise from the soil, the stories, and the people at the roots. No more waiting. No more hoping someone else has it handled. They don’t. We have to do this. It’s on us now.

In this week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m cracking open the real questions: What are we going to do about this mess we’re in? How do we turn the ship before it sinks? And what does it mean to choose the side of life when the world’s on fire?

I’m turning to what matters most—Love, community, Mumma Earth, land magik—and calling in the rebel priestess in all of us. It’s time to wake the witch, rally the dreamers, and start tipping that delicate balance.

We are the 51%. We are the turning. Let’s swing the pendulum into the light—together.

I was absolutely thrilled to interview Roz Rolls this week, fresh off the boat from New Zealand and back on Sark for a visit. Roz is genuinely one of the coolest, most inspiring people I’ve ever met. We first connected around the fire at the Nook—our little sacred spot on the island where we gather under the stars and watch the sunset.

Meeting her felt like being welcomed into a circle of wise elders—something I’ve had the honour of experiencing a few times in my life—and I was instantly drawn to her. She carries this deep, grounded knowledge that spans the spiritual, political, and scientific realms, and speaking with her was both eye-opening and uplifting.

I didn’t know where the conversation would lead, but I knew it would be special—and Roz didn’t disappoint. I’m absolutely over the moon to be sharing this episode with you, and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

It's been a year since the Nonsense in the Podcast began and it is a pleasure to be bringing you this week's episode from Glastonbury Festival 2025!

It was a bit of a tough one though, even amidst having an amazing time, surrounded by people I love and adore. Who never fail to make me laugh. 

But there’s so much conflict and pressure in the world right now. We’re all tired and life's hard. We’re more than this. Life's more than this. It’s all bigger than this. And the game, the inner world, the Dreaming, our creativity… It’s all more than this. I don’t know how it’s all going to figure out, but having been at Glastonbury this year, and experiencing a vision there, I am reassured once more that all will be well. 

AND things are not right. Corruption, neo-liberalism, propaganda, censorship, fascism, lies… These all are happening and the UK is shockingly volatile. Glastonbury Festival likewise feels shaky. Like it has lost its way and is in danger of collapsing. As does the UK. These are difficult times. We are witnessing genocide and are being censored from speaking out against it. Things are a mess.

But we will find a way through all this. We must keep going. We will find a miracle. Things will correct themselves. And love, as always, is the answer.
