Sharing the Journey

30/09/2026

Very excited to be facilitating a workshop I wrote based upon my cairns article, for spiritual direction students tomorrow.

Thinking about hosting a quiet experiment later this year either in Encounter Bay or Yankalilla, and I’d love to know if it speaks to you. 🌲✨

I am designing a 1-Day Sensory-Friendly Silent Retreat for anyone wanting to pause, unmask, and reconnect with their True Self or the Divine.

This day is specifically structured for neurodivergent minds, though it is open to absolutely anyone who feels overwhelmed by a noisy world.

What it will look like:

* No forced social interaction: Clear visual guidelines, zero on-the-spot icebreakers, and permission to sit in parallel silence without making eye contact.

* Gentle, practical tools: Blending mindfulness concepts (ACT) with simple contemplative structures to help notice body signals, manage sensory overload, and learn when to safely say 'no' to the noise.

* Spaciousness: Time to wander, doodle, rest in a dedicated low-sensory dark room, or take photos of nature.

It will be a day where you don't have to perform, explain, or mask. Just a safe space to stack your thoughts like quiet cairns guiding your way back home to self.

If you would be interested in attending or learning more, please leave a simple comment below (a 🌲 emoji is plenty!) or send me a private message.

No commitment required—just seeing if there is a craving for this kind of space in our community.

I love this - "Some day you will be the one that sets the blaze alight in someone's heart". As a neurodivergent woman I can feel others pain and some days it is hard because all I want to do is pick up that person and wrap them in a blanket of love and remind them how precious they are. Sometimes though there is nothing I can do but just be there, listen deeply and hold space and that is more than enough.

an open poem to a weary empath,

you can’t leave Earth yet

~ because I just flipped ahead about
a hundred pages in your story and I read
that someday you will be the reason someone
else doesn’t give up on their life

I’m sorry to spoil the end of your tale

~ but someday you will be the one who ignites the blaze in another person’s heart that won’t ever be out again

don’t complicate the plot of your story

~ you are here to be lamplighter that hands out little bits of your flame to ensure the rest of the world doesn’t exist in darkness

I know you have been scorched so many times

~ to love the world is to sometimes be burned at the the stake by others who mistake your gift of compassion as a personal weakness

I know it’s not easy to be a bringer of light to those who have become addicted to shadows

~ but we need you to be a gardener of effervescent seeds that you will perhaps never see grow into burning rosebushes that can be seen from space

Oh, my love, don’t give into the calling despair

~ set your life on fire with kindness and watch how many other people come out of their caves to sit by your campfire heart to share their own stories of survival

Oh my love, you are my favorite element

The challenge and gift of being an Autistic ADHDER. Challenges with proprioception hence always dropping and breaking things. The gift of problem solving and alternative solutions hence the gaffa tape! No wasting here.

" Holy listening begins with making space: a space where stories can be spoken aloud and carefully set into cairns. Drawn from the Gaelic meaning “heap of stones,” cairns are person-made and often created to mark a boundary, guide the way, or honour and remember."

Listening for Cairns: Neurodivergence, Spiritual Companioning, and the Sacred Work of Deep Listening.

Soon to be published! Feeling honoured and excited!
