Does anyone know what these creatures are?

I haven’t touched this since the beginning of the year… needed to look and think and feel for a while - what was and wasn’t working, who I wanted to be as a painter.

Last night I finally picked up the paints again and I’m really happy with the direction it’s heading in.

I started this painting as an active meditation, an affirmation about the lived experience I wanted to embody: that wombat lounging blissfully in the meadow kind of approach to life!

I’m really proud to say I think I am actually pulling this off, more often than not.

Thank you happy wombat.

🌿 COMMUNITY HEALING DAY — SATURDAY 19 SEPTEMBER 🌿

I’m very excited to be introducing something new.

On Saturday morning, 19 September, I’ll be joining with two of my healing apprentices for our first Community Healing Day.

Three healers. Two special healing sessions. And two different ways of giving back to our community. 💚

✨ THE RECEIVING HEALING

This healing is our gift.

We’d like to offer a completely free healing session to someone who would not normally be able to afford one — and who could really do with being on the receiving end of some loving care.

I’m particularly interested in our quiet givers: the carers, healers, helpers and beautiful souls who spend so much of their time and energy looking after everybody else, and don't always have the resources to look after themselves.

But it could also be someone experiencing significant hardship — illness, grief, loss, major life upheaval, or simply a particularly difficult time when some extra support and loving kindness would mean a great deal.

There is no obligation to pay anything. If the recipient wants to make a small donation to our chosen cause they can, but this healing is about receiving. That's the gift.

You can put your own hand up, or you can nominate someone you love. ❤️

✨ THE GIVING HEALING

Our second healing is for someone who can afford a normal full-priced healing session, but loves the idea of getting three dynamic healers working together for the price of one!

You receive a full healing session with all three of us bringing our different skills, perceptions and healing energy to the table.

And your consultation fee doesn't come to us.

100% of it will be donated to our chosen charity/cause.

So perhaps it's a cause you already feel passionate about and would love to support anyway — and in the process, you get to experience something rather special yourself.

One healing gives twice.

The other asks nothing except that you allow yourself to receive. 💚

Our first Community Healing Day will be held on the morning of Saturday 19 September.

If you’d like to apply for the Receiving Healing, nominate somebody deserving, or book the Giving Healing, please get in touch with me.

I’ll share more shortly about the wonderful healers joining me and the cause we’ll be supporting for our first Community Healing Day. 🌿

One of my favourite human beings

03/09/2026

I’d had such a busy past week working, relaxing, making bread and chocolate and socialising, that this latest video has taken me a while to pull together.

Thursdays and Mondays are my days off!

Last Thursday I got up before dawn and drove into town to go walking at east point with my friend Jenni. Had a delicious vegan lunch at Saffron, who have won awards for their brilliant vege tucker, and did a good three hours of biography writing about my great uncle Peter, alongside my “body doubling” writing sister Paige.

That afternoon I conferred with my apprentice Jacob about our first charity Saturday, which will be on the 19th. Jacob, Sonia and I will team up to do one free healing for a member of the public who is being a carer for a loved one, and one paid consult for someone who is happy for their consult fee to be given as a donation to an environmental cause. This first one will likely be ocean based.

Then Stephen and I had dinner with my darling son Shae and daughter in law Kate.

On Monday we caught up with old friends and I made them handmade chocolates and pumpkin soup. Then I did a few hours of work on our “Children’s aura cards” project with Kate, who is a talented graphic artist, with my cousin Renata body doubling us via Zoom while she worked on her own projects.

Body doubling is where you work on your own project while in the quiet presence of a friend who is doing the same. It helps you have accountability for showing up, and to not feel alone. My friend Paige is my favourite person to do this with because her nervous system is so deliciously composed, and we always find this just-right blend between long stretches of studious quiet and the sharing that gives your ideas/writing a gentle sounding board.

Chapter four got well and truly under way today, with my great uncle driving to The Rock to start his work there as a ranger. He started the herbarium and the plant walks and our family obsession with flowers.
