Singing Into the Fire: The Power of Creativity & the Alchemy of Perimenopause

In this return conversation, Emily steps back into the circle to share the profound shifts that have unfolded since her last visit. Her journey has been one of returning to herself - through creativity, earth‑based practice, bardic study and the unexpected alchemy of perimenopause. She speaks about writing her second novel, The Dandelion Chronicles, a mystical, shamanic musical adventure for children and inner children, and how her creative life has deepened as she’s learned to live more authentically and in rhythm with nature. Emily also performs her beautiful Beltane song, A Prayer for Beltane and reflects on how singing in circles has helped her soften perfectionism, dissolve imposter syndrome and trust the imperfect, human truth of her own voice. We close with a look at her upcoming offerings over the summer - from chanting and singing circles to sound‑healing workshops - and the ways she’s weaving creativity, intuition and self‑returning into a life that feels wholly her own.
