A Sacred unravelling: Coddiwomple Diaries part 2: Letting go of security
One of the greatest unknowns when we began this journey wasn’t where we would end up - but what it would feel like to no longer have a fixed place to call home.
Letting go of our possessions was one thing.
Letting go of our home - our physical shelter, our so-called security - was quite another. It brought up fears and discomfort, not just in us, but in the people around us.
Especially here, in an affluent town in one of the UK’S more well-off counties, the idea of giving up a rented home by choice can sound unthinkable. Radical. Even reckless.
A Sacred Unravelling: Coddiwomple Diaries
It’s been four weeks since we began our coddiwomple—a purposeful wandering toward an as-yet-unknown destination. In that time, my partner and I have traded the familiar for the fluid. Each day brings unexpected lessons, especially about the art of letting go.
What surprised me most? I don’t miss my altar.
I created a travel version, carefully packed it… and haven’t touched it.
Instead, I’ve been turning inward more deeply than ever. The sacred hasn’t been lost—it’s been distilled.
As Rumi says:
“Everything you seek is within you.” Even altars.
This is Part 1 of a new series I’m sharing—reflections on what it means to release, root, and remember ourselves on the move.
I’m calling it A Sacred Unravelling.
Silence as a sacred practice - My perspective from the path of yoga and druidry
As someone who walks the path of both Yoga and Druidry, silence is woven into my spiritual practice in a way that feels both ancient and deeply personal. In yoga, silence is a discipline—a way to still the restless mind. In Druidry, it’s a way of listening—to the land, the trees, the whispers of something greater.
But in modern life, silence is rare. We rush to fill it, fearing the discomfort of sitting with ourselves. Yet across many traditions, silence is not a void—it’s a gateway to something deeper.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live as a monk?
To wake up before dawn, live by strict spiritual discipline, and dedicate every moment to devotion? I took the leap and spent seven days inside the world of the Hare Krishnas by participating in their “ be a monk challenge”—here’s what I learned.
Reclaiming our relationship with Darkness
For much of human history, darkness has been misunderstood. It’s often seen as something to avoid, fear, or conquer. In a world flooded with artificial light and constant stimulation, we’ve grown distant from darkness—both the literal kind that comes with nightfall and the metaphorical kind that accompanies introspection, uncertainty, and change.
But what if darkness, like light, has its own gifts to offer? What if instead of running from it, we learned to embrace it?
The Power of Silence: Reclaiming What We’ve Lost
In a world that rarely pauses, silence has become a rare and precious gift. Yet, our relationship with silence is complicated. For some, it represents peace and clarity; for others, it stirs discomfort or even fear. What if we could reclaim the power of silence—not as something to avoid or endure, but as a source of strength and nourishment?
Why is Ancestral Healing & Reverence important?
Ancestral healing and reverence are essential because they anchor us in the continual cycles of life, connecting us to a flow of energy that transcends space and time.
By honoring our ancestors, we recognise that we are part of a lineage that stretches far back into the past and forward into the future.
This awareness grounds and nourishes us, reminding us that we are never truly alone in our struggles or triumphs.
Is it really a lack of self worth or are you just kind?
This blog was inspired by my own conscious business journey and my desire to support others on theirs. It is a new road for many of us to navigate and there is not many maps available yet. So it is wonderful to be surrounded by other like - minded business owners. Much love to the lovely peeps in the photo - these are some of our conscious business community members and they inspire and encourage me every day.
3 days & 3 nights in the dark
On the morning of my 43rd birthday on Monday 8th April 2024, I walked into a purpose built dark retreat room, blew out the small candle that would be my last glimpse of light for the three days and nights to follow.
NAVIGATING THE PHASES OF INNER AWAKENING: Exploring common STAGES oF the SPIRITUAL path.
The spiritual path is a mysterious path and is unique to each of us. There is no right or wrong way to experience it, there is just YOUR way. We are not here to all do, feel, know, see and hear the same.
