This is a 10 minute guided grounding to help you connect with your body, heart and mind through the element of air.

Everything is an invitation and you can do it your way. There are invitations to first connect with the element of earth, before connecting with the air around your body. From here you are invited to connect with the sky and the sun and the moon and the stars, before breathing a sense of spaciousness into your body. From here you are invited to meet yourself as you are right now.

On September 21st 2026, I facilitated an online session as part of Clown Spirit’s ‘Clowning For Mental Health’ series. So much juicy thinking came out of the session, I want to share some of it with you, dear reader. Come join our thinking party and ponder along with us as we go.

This is a 10 minute guided somatic grounding to help you connect with the earth of your body.

Everything is an invitation and you can do it your way. 

There are invitations to connect with the earth beneath you, explore long, releasing out-breaths, connect with all the bones in your body and finally meet yourself from the perspective of a big, solid mountain.

This August was the 6th annual #NoPlaceLikeKnowle Home Retreat, hosted by the magnificent Bee Golding and the mighty Lucy Heard. Every summer for the last 6 years, Bee has opened up her home and garden to an assortment of Bristol’s finest oddballs for a week...

These retreats have become an important pause-point in the middle of my year, a place where I notice where I’m at with my grief, re-connect with my creative practice and feel the support of a community of hilarious, tender-hearted creatives...

This article was written for World Childless Week 2026

What does a childless, single woman do in August?

Does she tag along on a friend's family holiday?

Does she send herself off on a yoga retreat?

Does she hike, ramble, climb, kayak or deep sea dive?

Does she do another training course?

Generally, I like to fill the whole month of August with work...

...But this year I’m trying something different: I am exploring what happens when I give myself some space.

This August, I bounced straight from months and months of back-to-back projects, into a 5-day Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 2 training, called Deepening and Expanding, led by Osnat Arbel.

This year, most of my time has been organised around holding space for other people, so I thought it would be a lovely treat for the first week of my summer break to put myself in a held space, in a beautiful place, surrounded by the kind-hearted IFS community....

I have just completed my last online one-to-one (for now). 

For three years, I have regularly sat with a gorgeous assortment of artists, performers, directors, musicians, poets, therapists, facilitators and researchers. I have held space for them to explore their lives, their work, their creativity, their inner worlds and their relationships and I have loved every minute of it...

After the final obligatory Zoom-goodbye-wave (I still wish we did that in real life meetings), I sat down and I meditated. 

Wanting to mark the transition, I picked three cards from The Wild Unknown Archetype Tarot Deck at random, holding these three questions in mind...

This week I didn’t go to Buddhafield.

I didn’t dance in a throng of hippies. I didn’t sit round a campfire, tooting my clarinet ’til dawn. I didn’t do the hour-long improvised show that I was booked to perform. Instead I stayed at home, tending to my exhausted body. 

I didn’t have much of a choice...

...Riddled with FOMO, I resentfully rested in my tiny, hot flat.

In amongst the huffing and the puffing, I stumbled upon a week-long online writing challenge called Writing From The Body.

This session was presented at Clownvergence, an online Clown conference, on 10th April 2026. 

Holly Stoppit, Sarah Burns, Saskia Solomons and Angela Hayes are a group of Internal Family Systems (IFS) - trained clowns and fools....

We have been exploring the meeting point of clowning, fooling and IFS in a series of playful co-created labs since 2020 and we want to share some of our findings with you! Come and discover how IFS is helping us deepen our performance work and how clowning and fooling is helping us deepen our therapeutic work.
