LIVE ONLINE TALK  

The Wisdom of Summer

ZOOM - TUESDAY 21ST JULY 2026

ONLINE EVENT

A talk on weaving traditional Indigenous wisdom of this land into our being... from the ground we walk on, the birds, the animals, the plants and trees.

This talk will also look at how animism can inform Summer wisdom by being more observant of nature, honouring this cycle, recognising the wisdom of other beings, and learning and integrating this wisdom from nature.

Come and join me for a talk, blending science and animism, looking at the positive lessons and opportunities for growth that the summer season offers. A time of abundance, vitality and reflection, a time to be fully awake, engaged and open to everything around us…….so what plant and animal allies can we embrace at this time and how can they help us.

The Wisdom of Summer unfolds through both ecological understanding and living relationship.  

When we learn with the scientist's curiosity and the animist's openness, Rose becomes more than a flower, Buzzard more than a bird; they become teachers, and we become participants in the living world rather than observers of it.

Date: Tuesday 21st July 7pm-8.30pm 

Location: Online using Zoom 

There will be time for Questions and Discussion at the end.  Sessions are not recorded.

Exchange: £15

DRUMMING - IN PERSON - SMEATHARPE VILLAGE HALL, nr. HONITON 

Drum Circle Weaving

FUTURE DATES TBC   

Community drumming, weaving the sounds of our drums with the song of the Earth. Join a friendly group for this fun, interactive drum circle, tuning into this energetic and animistic tradition of our land and ancestors.

During the monthly drumming circle, participants are invited to co-work with a seasonally curated selection of vibrational essences, most of which I have personally co-created with various plants, animals or birds. Experiencing the wisdom of these beings through drumming offers deeper insights into both the beings and oneself.

At the heart of our drumming circle is a very special Community Drum, which allows six people to drum with her simultaneously. I warmly encourage everyone to take their turn to connect-in and co-work with her. Together, with her, we provide the central heartbeat and direction of each weaving.

Drumming has been shown to help ease stress and anxiety, bring joy and boost mental health and well-being - so come with an open heart and mind and have some fun!

No prior experience is required. If you wish to attend but don’t have a drum, I always bring a selection along for participants to work with.

Date:  TBC , 10am - 1pm

Duration: 3 hours including refreshment break
