Gorgeous cries for connection and wildness. Our future has an ancient heart and you can feel it beating! In poems, pictures, words, music and film.
We’re living in liminal times.
We experience this all around us—the potential to meet our challenges, to grow and evolve culturally. While, at the same time, crises push our edges ever more to extremities.
This post is a space for some grace with all that is!
Lambs, lambs, lambs. For spring, for peace and for the life and vitality of the newborn extending light. Enjoy!
An invitation to listen with all our senses. To the sounds of the sunset, to other creature’s homes
Pause and listen for sanctuary.
This enklavene is a set of fractals. We zoom in from the bottom of the mountain and the mini-cliff-edged sheep (she looks perfectly at ease!) to the mountain cliffs. And then to the rocks on top.
There are sets of repeating patterns all around us. Importantly, we create them too. It’s a foundation of change.
Our world is changing. Our thinking patterns are shifting. To answer our pressing emergencies and, fortuitously, engaging in this brings an aliveness like nothing else.
We’re a worldwide civilisation now and can consciously engage in creating thriving, just, sustainable futures for everyone. Yet, sometimes, this seems like a very lonely path…
We hope this site helps us all accelerate positive shifts. Amplification, re-storying and sharing awe…
Our future, ourselves, our planet and our stories, it’s all entangled ― Festina LentÍvaldi*

Wild edges, small islands, the middle of the North Atlantic. These are places where we melt, become timeless, spaces beyond interpenetrate us.
From the wilds of the far northern Atlantic coasts. The near impossible, being alone and deeply connected to humanity, comes viscerally alive in the wind.
Bring diverse pieces together and the new can emerge.
This New Year’s enklavene arose from stumbling across earth, fire, water and rock coming together. That diversity created the heart.

24 hours, in 10 minutes at Calanais. You-I-we will step through time. Physically it is 2021. Virtually, millenia in the past and future.
Planetary scale crises—climate, injustice, inequity, plagues—are creating great instability.
Yet, the very pressures of these issues may help us to grow up, individually and culturally, to be sufficient for the challenges that we’re facing.
A short trip over Rannoch Moor down to Kinlochleven then across the sea to Skye.
Scotland has its wild surprises. Some in poetry and pictures.
Rythym, randomness and healing with, and through, our deeper interconnections. Aligning with our wider world its chaos and patterns .
This beautiful video showcases Scotland’s mountainous wildness. Yet it is about more including abundance and diversity. Those are a mindset, a thinking pattern, as much being about flourishing wildlife land and seas. You-I-we thrive under such conditions.
“Hasten slowly” said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. That’s where we’re challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
