Nonsense in the Chaos

In this week's episode of Nonsense in the Chaos, I explore the tension between celebrating our unique gifts and becoming consumed by the modern obsession with personal branding, fame and being seen. Drawing on indigenous culture, psychology and everyday life, I ask whether we've confused individuality with individualism... and what we've lost along the way.From the rise of celebrity culture to the quiet satisfaction of contributing to something bigger than ourselves, this is a conversation about belonging, purpose and finding our rightful place within the collective. How do we honour our talents without making ourselves the centre of the story? And could the healthiest form of self-expression be one that ultimately serves the community?If you've ever wrestled with the pull between standing out and fitting in, this episode offers a thoughtful reflection on the balance between the two.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m sitting down with my adventure buddy, Edd Stone. We spend a lot of our working lives together, whether that’s as Astro Guides at the Observatory peering out into the vastness of space, or with Adventure Sark, taking people scrambling over rocks, out onto the sea in kayaks, dangling off cliffs coasteering, or trying their hand at archery and shooting.Edd is one of those people who somehow manages to be both completely unassuming and quietly extraordinary. A bit of an enigma, a man of few words at times, and yet someone who seems endlessly capable. The sort of person who’ll casually do something wildly impressive and then shrug as though it was nothing much at all.I’m really glad to have him as a friend and partner in crime for all things adventurous on this little island of ours, so I thought it was about time I dragged him into the chaos for a proper chat. We talk adventure, life, stories from the island, and some of the things that make Edd, well… Edd.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I recorded sat back up in my favourite tree, Satine... or what remains of her. She took the full force of this winter's storms and though she's still alive, just, she stands now in a different form. Sitting beneath her in the heat, I found myself reflecting on the strange threshold we seem to be standing in as a species. The air feels different. The seasons feel different. The stories we tell ourselves about tomorrow feel different.We often imagine the apocalypse as a sudden event: sirens, collapse, fire falling from the sky. But what if this is it? What if apocalypse, in its truest meaning, is not the end of the world but an unravelling? A revelation. The slow and undeniable uncovering of where we are and what we have forgotten.In Apocalypse Now; Stewardship for the Future, I explore what might be asked of us now. If the world is changing around us, perhaps our task is not simply to survive it, but to remember how to belong again. To learn all we can. To preserve wisdom wherever we find it. To understand the old ways of being in relationship with land, story and season. To embody them. To become stewards rather than consumers.Because if something is ending, something else is asking to begin.Book recommendations;Sand Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta Menopausal Years; The Wise Woman's Way by Susun S SeedActive Hope - Joanna MacyArtist’s Way - Julia CameronThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m gathering the roots.The Witchfool Are You? journey began on Monday and already something fascinating is unfolding. Sometimes we think we’re leading the ritual, holding the space or guiding the path, but then life quietly turns and reveals that something is leading us too.In this episode I’m reflecting on the threads, synchronicities and whispers that are beginning to emerge through the course... the things the universe seems to be showing me through the people gathering around it, through the archetypes appearing, and through the deeper roots beneath the surface of what I thought this journey was about.An episode about listening beneath the noise, trusting the universe and letting the flow carry you. Tea in hand recommended.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I climbed a tree.After finding myself peopled out and carrying the lingering sadness that can follow when alcohol leaves our closest relationships feeling a little bruised and out of tune, I spent the day perched among the branches, seeking refuge in the way I always have.From childhood memories of running away into nature and escaping the pressures of school, to reflections on the complicated dance of connection, solitude and belonging, this is an episode about finding your way back to yourself when life feels a little tangled.High in the canopy, I interview the tree I call Satine. Through three tarot cards, Satine offers her wisdom, and what begins as a playful conversation slowly unfolds into exactly the advice I needed to hear.An episode about trees, childhood, sadness, healing, and the quiet guidance that appears when we stop long enough to listen.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, we're venturing into the abyss.Not the dramatic, mythic kind filled with monsters and ancient gods... but the very real places within ourselves we'd rather avoid.For me, the demon waiting in the dark is money.The stories I carry about worth, security, success and scarcity have a habit of resurfacing whenever I think I've finally made peace with them. Yet every descent into the underworld offers the same invitation: to stop running, turn around, and meet what is chasing us.Together we'll explore what it means to face our personal demons, why the abyss so often appears before transformation, and how the things we fear most can become our greatest teachers.So what waits for you in the dark?Join me as we step into the depths and discover what treasures might be hidden there.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m joined by the wonderful AJ... a curious soul walking the delicate line between care, academia, activism and joy. Working within the NHS as a mental health nurse supporting families in a deeply pressured system, AJ brings both compassion and honesty to the conversation.Currently completing the first two years of her doctorate, with her thesis beginning in September, AJ’s research explores how healthcare staff can help reconnect people with nature, and why that matters so profoundly in a time of climate crisis and collective burnout.We talk about climate justice, the healing power of the natural world, dancing, festivals, learning, and what it means to celebrate the sheer privilege of being alive amidst the chaos of modern life.A thoughtful, grounded and quietly inspiring conversation.Chaos Crusade Links -Guide on critiquing thoughts and ideas https://theconversation.com/how-do-you-know-that-what-you-know-is-true-thats-epistemology-63884Inspiring more exploration about ways of knowing:An Ecology of mind - a daughters portrait of Gregory Bateson https://youtu.be/PMUUdRmAAbM?si=E977NO0oG_z6ZXREIndigenous philosophy - the ethics of philosophy https://youtu.be/mfkBmOQhBNM?si=cX_Jh7po-17tHKicThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

Turns out the HRT was working… because when it ran out unexpectedly last Friday, the wheels fully came off the train. Add getting ill on top, and this week’s podcast has arrived slightly later than usual.In the new episode of Nonsense in the Chaos I’m talking about grounding and recalibrating during the busy headiness of Gemini Season, tending the home fires, avoiding burnout, and how to begin again after finishing a big piece of work and entering a new cycle.A slightly frazzled but heartfelt one this week.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m joined by Ben the Shaman, who opened this year’s La Beltane Festival in the middle of a thunderstorm.As torrential rain lashed the valley and festival-goers huddled beneath the gazebo, Ben stepped directly into the storm to bless the land, calling to Pachamama, spirit, the heavens and the directions. Slowly the rain softened, the skies cleared, and the festival unfolded in sunshine from that moment onward.We talk about ritual, healing, community, land connection, and why gatherings like La Beltane — and a deeper relationship with the land itself — feel so deeply needed in the modern world.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m talking about how strong, grounded, and genuinely supported I feel after this year’s La Beltane Festival here on Sark.The day began with absolute chaos... an unexpected torrential downpour just as everything was starting. For a moment, it felt like the whole thing might unravel. But the crew held steady, everyone pulled together, and we somehow ran a very smooth ship.Then, after an extra special blessing from Peruvian shaman Ben, the skies cleared and the sun came out for the rest of the day. It was truly magical.Since then, the land itself has felt different somehow. Blessed, open, and welcoming. As though by honouring her properly, something shifted.This episode is about community, ritual, resilience, and what happens when people gather with real intention.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m joined by my best friend, Saffron Issac… a woman who has walked alongside me through more lifetimes than one.We met as teenagers in a Tudor re-creation and have been in each other’s lives ever since, from free parties and muddy rave fields, to sharing a home at the turn of the millennium in Brighton, to slowly, fiercely carving out our own lives and callings. We’ve witnessed each other becoming, unravelling, rebuilding.We even found ourselves side by side in the strange, tender world of IVF… her journey leading to motherhood and a now twelve-year-old, mine opening out into a different, child-free path. Two lives, equally full. Equally valid. Deeply intertwined.These days, we keep our connection alive through podcast-length WhatsApp messages (you know the ones), and in many ways, this entire podcast has become an extension of our conversations… with Saffron very much at the heart of who I’m speaking to.This episode is exactly what you’d expect… chaos, laughter, nostalgia, and a whole lot of love. A celebration of friendship that has stretched, shifted, and held strong through it all.Come and sit with us and enjoy an hour of eavesdropping on two old friends who just can’t stop laughing.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week I’m sitting in the strange and beautiful in-between of arrival. A new home, new rhythms, new ways of inhabiting both space and self. There’s something about learning how to live in a place that mirrors learning how to live in a new phase of life… and right now, both are shifting at once.As I move deeper into the perimenopausal threshold, I can feel the stirrings of what I’m calling the ‘Baby Crone’… a soft but powerful reordering of priorities, energy, and truth.And weaving through it all… La Beltane Festival is just on the horizon. I’m looking forward to immersing myself in the weekend, celebrating the season and this gorgeous land, AND then being able to relax and enjoy the house and our new lives together after it’s all come together. Can’t wait for that bit!The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week I take a deep dive into the wild adventure that is menopause with my guest Elaine Le Feuvre.Elaine is a passionate advocate for the Red School, which teaches women to work with their menstrual cycles, and for the Wisewoman’s Journey through menopause, seeing it as a deeply spiritual rite of passage.Known across the Channel Islands for her work as an aromatherapist, Elaine has led a rich and varied life. She has lived in South Africa and the UK, returning to Guernsey in her 30s where she worked in the prison service before coming back to her roots as a holistic therapist. Her practice now weaves together aromatherapy, reiki, and her work as a qualified cacao facilitator.Her work is inseparable from her own healing journey. After experiencing severe menstrual symptoms since her teenage years, she had a defining moment when she discovered she was living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), a cyclical, hormone-based mood disorder. From that point, she committed to understanding her body more deeply, exploring both holistic and hormonal approaches, and grounding herself in spiritual practice to navigate the physical and emotional intensity of PMDD.Elaine is deeply committed to encouraging women to share their hormonal journeys and reclaim their stories.In this episode, we also explore Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging by Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer and Alexandra Pope.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week’s episode arrives straight from the midst of chaos… boxes everywhere, life in flux, and La Beltane Festival fast approaching.With capacity stretched and no guest in place, this becomes a raw solo transmission... an honest navigation of what it means to keep going when everything feels in motion. And, as ever, the universe answers. The rune that emerges lands with uncanny precision, offering guidance exactly where it’s needed.This episode explores how to stay open, how to listen, and how to trust what’s unfolding—even when the path feels uncertain. Because sometimes the answers aren’t found by striving… but by allowing.#NonsenseintheChaos #Podcast #NewEpisodeThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

There are moments when the path beneath your feet stops being metaphor and becomes instruction.This week’s episode traces the unseen threads that have been quietly, persistently guiding me... from pilgrimage roads to the shores of Sark, and deeper still into the valley we now call home. What once felt like a series of choices is revealing itself as something far more intentional — a conversation with the land itself.Geomancy, when lived rather than studied, asks something of you. It listens, it nudges, and sometimes... it sets a quest.In this episode, I explore the strange and sacred pull into place, and the growing sense that I’m being asked to step into service — to listen more closely, to read the energy of the land, and to discover what work wants to be done here.This is a story of arrival, alignment, and the first whisper of a question that might just change everything.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

In this week’s episode I’m chatting with the incredible creatrix that is Chris Park.Chris lives on an organic farm in the Vale of the White Horse, Oxfordshire. His work is wide and varied, from arts and craft, ancient technologies, experimental archaeology and educational projects, to eco-building, professional storytelling, folk music and raising the awareness of the heritage of beekeeping. He is a founder member of the Beekeeping History Trust, a skep beekeeper, skep-maker and a practicing Druid. Often seen extolling the virtues of mead, metheglin and other traditional honey drinks, Chris tries to live an ecological lifestyle, growing some food, fetching wood and spring water, living close to the earth. Around the fire, if the stars are aligned, he can be a purveyor of ageless words, a seeker of the world's most ancient truths, lies and everything in between. You might call him a mellifluous fabulist, an erudite druid or a cunning linguist… but put simply he's just a decent fella, and a good storyteller, with tales for young and old, the innocent and the experienced, garnished with delicious music and song.You can find out more about what Chris gets up to at; www.acorneducation.com www.livingbeeing.comThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

It might seem counterintuitive, but this moment in time is such an incredible opportunity to be the best version of yourself and to do heroic things.Be the person who hid the family in your attic. Be the person who smuggled people through the checkpoint in the car. Be the person who kept squirrelling food away and who shared your last bit of bread. Be that person.Be the person that people are going to talk about in 50 years’ time... about what a courageous, awesome human you were because of all the bold and selfless things you did.Don’t let them control the narrative. Don’t let them create your world for you. You create your own world, and you create them into living in a world where they are facing justice and getting their comeuppance. Know, with every fibre of your being, that this is going to happen.This is a turning point in history. It will be remembered in 50 years’ time... in a hundred years’ time. We’ll be talking about this moment in time.What were you doing? What was your contribution? What did you challenge? What did you stand up for? What did you help to create? What were you doing during this time?The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week I’m in conversation with Claire Cole, who runs The Centre in Guernsey, where she and her horses hold deeply intuitive shamanic healing sessions. In her work the horses are not simply present... they are active participants in the process, sensing energy, responding to what is unspoken, and helping guide people gently back towards themselves. There is something profoundly moving about watching these huge, sensitive creatures mirror what is happening inside us.It feels like an apt way to open this new season... especially in the year of the fire horse. Claire herself carries that same quiet strength. She is a gentle, gorgeous soul with a real powerhouse energy behind her work, and our conversation wandered through the magic of horses, the nature of healing, and the unexpected ways transformation can appear when we slow down enough to listen. It was a joy to sit down with her, and a beautiful way to begin the next chapter of the podcast.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

Nonsense in the Chaos is back! It feels so good to be back behind the microphone. I’ve missed you all.This week I discuss how I can feel the old stories cracking. Institutions are wobbling, certainty is dissolving, and the world feels increasingly unreal. The question becomes: how do we live truthfully inside the chaos?I’ll explore power, myth, creativity, spirituality, and the courage to think differently. Time to move beyond outrage and into action. Not by fighting every battle, but by making your own pixel bright: choosing beauty, kindness, imagination, and integrity in a world that often rewards the opposite.This is the hour to be bold, provocative, mythical, and journey into the stories of the land — dragon energy, ancient symbols, creative awakening, and the quiet revolution of reclaiming meaning for ourselves.The systems may be shaking. Good. Something new is being written.Tune in wherever you get your podcasts!The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

The final episode of Nonsense in the Chaos for Season Two is a pause at the threshold. As Yule tide gathers us inward, this week’s episode explores the numerology of the coming year: a universal ten, the number of the radiant body, the moment in the alchemical process when lead is turned into gold.This is a conversation about community, about scale, and about agency. When the bigger picture feels overwhelming, there is still the work to do on our own pixel, making it as bright, clear and generous as it can be. That, in itself, is a powerful action.I’ll be stepping away after this episode for a digital detox and some much-needed Creation Hibernation time, returning in March. Until then, this feels like a hand on the shoulder and a steadying breath. We’ve got this. And next year asks us to step up. Not alone, but together.And can we just take a moment to enjoy the fact that I’m ending the season on the number 69. No, I will not grow up. See you back here in March 2026.

This week’s podcast weaves together the quiet magic of legacy, continuity and the unseen threads that connect us. In It’s a Wonderful Life, George Bailey never becomes wealthy or achieves the grand future he imagined. Instead, he receives something far greater: perspective. He’s granted the rare gift of witnessing the impact of his existence—the threads tying him to every life he’s touched and the ripples he’s left behind.This week’s episode turns that lens towards the real world as I say goodbye to a friend who has passed away and reflect on a life well lived. A lifetime is only one link in a long chain of past and future lives, an opportunity to shape the world with whatever gifts we carry before handing the baton over to the next one. We are each part of the great symphony of life, and every note—no matter how humble—is vital to its glorious crescendo.CORRECTION: I talk about the Capricorn Dark Moon in this episode, but it was actually a Sagitarius Moon. It snuck in at the 28th degree. The Capricorn Dark Moon won't be until the 18th January. Join me then for the online ceremony to create our 2026 iconostasis.  The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

#66 Church of Burn; Jonathan Harris and the Ritual of Burning MoneyEpisode #66 dives into the Church of Burn with Jonathan Harris, its Reverend and creator of a movement that treats money not as a master but as a material for ritual transformation. Is it art-magic, a cult, a new form of religion, or something stranger? The Church calls itself a gathering around a sacred act: the literal sacrifice of money to expose its power, its mythology, and its grip on our bodies and imaginations.Jonathan speaks about the shock, fascination and moral challenge their rituals provoke, and why burning money offers a direct, visceral encounter with the Old God of capital. Through collective loss, the Church explores generosity, sovereignty, and the possibility of loosening money’s hold on our lives. This conversation unpacks the politics, philosophy and raw somatic experience at the heart of a practice that stands on the edge of art, spirituality and rebellion.https://churchofburn.org@churchofburnThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

What’s the treasure at the heart of your life right now, and what do you feel called to make in the coming year?Three things steadied my nerves this week. First was The Emerald episode ‘Carry That Weight: On Mythic Burdens and Cosmic Supports’, where Joshua speaks of the old comfort in believing something larger could hold the weight of the world for you. It stirred a deep memory of how light life once felt when I carried that belief.Then I drew an oracle card: Tlazolteotl, the eater of filth, the cleanser of what weighs us down. She appeared just as I was spiralling about my to-do list, and her presence cut through the self-punishment.And finally, I stumbled upon the Church of Burn, with its wild promise to “guide you toward an experience of the ritual sacrifice of money.” Their approach flips my long-held patterns on their head, and something in me lit up at the possibility.As we move towards 2026 — a ‘10’ year — the call is to step into our most expansive, radiant selves. This is the moment to alchemise the muck and mess into gold. With Sagittarius now in the skies, there’s a fire up our backsides, urging us to dream with real audacity as we cross the threshold into a new year.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos we follow the thread from Somerset to Exeter to meet Fiona Williams, author of House of Broken Bricks and partner of Joe, the builder from episode #58. Joe grew up in Burrowbridge with his twin brother Jason, and it was clear from meeting them how deeply the Levels run in their bones. Fiona carries that same connection, and channels it onto the page with remarkable clarity.Her novel captures the Somerset Levels with a tenderness that feels tactile. Mud, reeds, light, memory… All held with the same depth of care found in Braiding Sweetgrass. Reading her book had me laughing at the scenes of lost hikers pacing back and forth looking for the footpath (a very familiar experience), and wiping away tears more than once. Her writing is extraordinary, easily some of the finest I’ve encountered. She also talked about her PHD and forthcoming work, in which she traces how folk tales act as living records, shaped by the people who work the land and the land that works on themMercury Retrograde played its usual games during recording. A first attempt disappeared into the ether, and the second—this episode—picked up the occasional echo on my voice. I’ve reduced it as much as possible. The conversation still shines, and meeting Fiona was a complete delight.Settle in for an episode rich with story, landscape and the quiet power of a writer who listens closely to the land beneath her feet.You can find out more about Fiona's work @fionawilliamswritesThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

I’ve been having an absolute technical meltdown recently... computers freezing, files disappearing, batteries dying mid-sentence — all the classic signatures of Mercury Retrograde. It’s that trickster energy again, reminding me that control is an illusion and timing isn’t always mine to command.In this episode, I want to explore what happens when the universe presses pause — when the messages don’t send, the plans fall apart, and we’re forced to stop running by the clock of Chronos time. That rigid, linear, ever-ticking structure we try to live within — deadlines, meetings, calendars — can feel like a cage when Mercury decides to pull the rug out from under us.But maybe, just maybe, that chaos is an invitation. A doorway into Kairos time — the sacred, intuitive rhythm of the soul. The time of right moments, not scheduled ones. The time that pilgrimage teaches us to trust. Because on pilgrimage, the body moves slowly, the world widens, and meaning arrives when it’s ready, not when you demand it.We’ll wander through what it means to surrender to necessity — not what you want to do, but what life is asking you to do. We’ll look at the shadows that surface when everything stops working, the discomfort of not knowing, and how those breakdowns are sometimes the exact medicine the moment requires.So if you’ve been feeling tangled in delay, disarray, or just plain stuck — join me. Let’s step together out of the anxious tick of Chronos, into the wild, luminous now of Kairos, and find what’s waiting for us in the stillness Mercury leaves behind.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

I’m back home — the pilgrimage dust barely settled on my boots — and already I find myself arms-deep in scrubbing the pub toilets, as reality swoops in to claim me once more. The rhythm of Chronos time, that steady, ticking, relentless measure of the everyday, has returned in full force. After weeks of sacred wandering and timeless flow, I’m suddenly back in the hum of normal life, where the clock rules and the mythic gives way to the mundane.Before leaving the pilgrimage, though, I had the chance to sit down with someone who understands this transition all too well — Graham Joyce, a seasoned pilgrim who led a group of nine along the very same Michael Line we’ve just completed. Graham has spent years exploring these ancient energy paths — the Michael and Mary lines that weave through the landscape like luminous threads — and his insight brings a rich depth to everything we’ve experienced on our own journey.In our conversation, we delve into the mysteries and meanings of these sacred lines, the subtle ways they seem to shape both the land and the human spirit. We talk about the transformative effects of walking with intention — what it stirs, what it heals, what it breaks open — and how to carry that transformation back into ordinary life without losing the magic.This episode is a bridge between worlds: the mythic and the mundane, sacred time and clock time. It’s an invitation to remember that even as we return to our routines, the pilgrimage continues within us — in every act of devotion, every moment of awareness, even, perhaps, in the quiet ritual of scrubbing the pub toilets.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

It’s the end of our eight-week Odyssey — a journey that has taken us across landscapes both outer and inner — and we are feeling all the feels. The road behind us is heavy with stories, laughter, tears, revelations, and quiet moments of grace. Now, as the dust settles beneath our boots, it’s time to pause, reflect, digest, and begin to integrate everything that has unfolded along the way.In this closing episode, I sit down with each of the pilgrims who have shared this path, listening to how the experience has shaped and changed them — what they’re taking home, what they’re leaving behind, and how the journey continues to ripple through their daily lives. We also hear from friends and supporters who’ve been following from afar, offering their own perspectives on what it means to witness a pilgrimage in motion.To round off this chapter, we’re joined by Graham Joyce, who back in 2008 walked the Michael and Mary lines — those ancient, serpentine energy paths that so many of us still feel pulsing beneath the land. His reflections bring a sense of continuity and deeper context to our own walk, linking past and present seekers along the same luminous threads.The full conversation with Graham will be released in a later episode, but for now, join us in this tender closing circle — a space to breathe, remember, and honour the magic of what has been an unforgettable pilgrimage.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

In this week’s episode of Nonsense in the Chaos, we’re walking with an open heart and a simple, shining question: What gives you hope?As we travel together along winding paths and through shifting weather, I ask each person who joins me on the walk to share what helps them keep faith in the world — what lights the way when things feel uncertain or heavy. Their answers are beautiful, tender, and deeply human, revealing the many different ways hope takes root in our lives.You’ll hear from Helen Melon, Gemma Rogers, @Francesca_way_lvx, @jenway33, @Dansumption, Dill Hill, and @fernwood_remedies — a chorus of voices offering wisdom, humour, and honesty from the road. And along the way, we stumble upon the wonderful Rob, landlord of the Orange Tree pub in Baldock, who reminds us that community and kindness are their own kind of hope.It’s a gentle, grounding episode — a walk filled with stories, laughter, reflection, and the small yet powerful sparks of hope that connect us all, even in the midst of chaos.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week’s episode turns inward, toward one of the deepest and most elusive companions on any journey — Peace. As we walk together through shifting weather and landscape, I pose a simple yet profound question to everyone who joins me on the path: If Peace were a living being, an entity you could meet face to face, what would you ask? What would you say?The answers unfold like poetry — honest, surprising, and at times raw. Some imagine Peace as a quiet friend they long to embrace again, others as a distant figure they’re still learning to trust. Through laughter, reflection, and silence, we begin to sense how Peace reveals itself differently to each of us: in the rhythm of our footsteps, in the wind through the trees, in moments of surrender and stillness.This episode is a weaving of voices, a collective meditation on what it means to seek Peace not as an abstract idea, but as a presence that walks beside us — sometimes hidden, sometimes radiant, always waiting to be recognised.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week we journey through sacred circles of land magic, ancient stones, and the guiding light of the moon. With the fiery Aries full moon rising on the horizon, I explore its energy and what it stirs within us — courage, initiation, and the call to act. I’m joined by my fellow pilgrim and creative soul, Francesca, as we reflect on how this potent lunar moment weaves with our ongoing paths of pilgrimage, creativity, and connection to the earth. Along the way, I walk and talk with friends who join us for a day’s wandering, sharing stories and insights as we unpick what the land, the stones, and the sacred sites mean to each of us — how they speak, heal, and hold memory. It’s an episode of conversation, contemplation, and communion with the living landscape. The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos we move through the gentler landscape of Somerset, where the walking feels easier and the encounters kinder. After some heavy days earlier in the journey, this stretch offers welcome moments of connection with people who feel instantly familiar.Up until now a tough theme has kept re-surfacing: the unsettling rise of racism and fascism appearing in everyday conversations. One minute it’s small talk about the weather; the next, a dropped name reveals just who influences the person and how far the hatred has spread.But Somerset also brings bright spots. We meet two sharp, thoughtful builders who speak openly about what they’re seeing in their own communities. One has even left his home town after his mixed-heritage son was attacked post-Brexit. He calls the growing hostility “Chavageddon”—a darkly comic phrase with real weight behind it.Despite everything, hope holds steady. It shows up in the warmth of strangers, in honest conversations and in the simple relief of meeting people who refuse to be pulled into the tide.Join us for a week shaped by humour, clarity and the connections that make the road feel a little lighter.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

History was made this week in the great Chagford Mum-Off! Our Strolling Mummers away team clashed with the Chagford Mummers on their home turf. They grabbed the win (a total fix – we were robbed blind, I tell thee!). Between bouts of theatrical skulduggery we stayed with Howard and his partner Terri – my soul sister – plus the ever-glorious Lottie the dog. Rainbows, laughter, and Devon’s red soil carried me back to the spirit of pilgrimage with my old companions from the long road to COP26 in 2021.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

In this week’s episode, the four of us walking the full route share what the pilgrimage means to us and what we’re learning along the way.You’ll also meet two strikingly different characters – both pagans, yet seemingly from opposite ends of the spectrum. They cared for us, they’re our friends, and they’re kind and generous, yet I don’t agree with some of their views. You may even find parts of our conversations shocking.These perspectives keep surfacing, though, and we have to ask: how do we navigate them? It can’t always be finger-pointing or cancelling. How do we move towards peace? As pilgrims, our role is to listen, not to preach.What fascinates me most is how people can live in such vastly different realitiesThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

I've had an absolute nightmare trying to pull this together whilst on the road. The phone software is temperamental, to put it mildly, so I've lost or corrupted several edits. Hence the late release date, but it's here now. And I've the hang of things now. It has been an extremely soggy start to the pilgrimage, but we've also enjoyed days of sunshine and experienced incredible generosity from people who've put us up, fed us, washed our clothes and given us beds for the night. This first week has mainly been focused on working out what we're doing, getting to know each other, learn the play, set our intentions and get into the flow of the pilgrimage. It's a lot harder than I remember. But it's still the greatest privilege. To be on the road, with such wonderful company, walking in Kairos time. The rain has not dampened our spirits.

This week we slip through time to the year 1536, the fateful year Queen Anne Boleyn was executed, as Kentwell Hall once again bursts into life with its magnificent Tudor re-creation. For decades, this extraordinary gathering has welcomed hundreds of history buffs to step into the shoes of ordinary folk and high-born gentry alike, and this year’s happenings were as rich and wild as ever.In this episode I capture the flavour of Kentwell: the dubious cures for syphilis being hawked by earnest ‘physicians’, the dangerous sparks of alchemists attempting to make gunpowder, and the rowdy activity of arse-wrestling, well oiled of course. But beyond the mischief and merriment, it’s also about the people. Catching up with cherished friends, fellow historians, and Kentwell enthusiasts who together weave this living tapestry of Tudor England.Come walk with me through the stillrooms, the brewers, the bakers and the alchemists, where history is not simply remembered but lived, argued, sung, and wrestled with. Kentwell is never just re-enactment – it’s a world apart, and for a brief moment, the year 1536 is as real as our own.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This episode is all about Boomtown 2025, and the story we wove there in the La Luna Coven. Boomtown’s theme for next year is Radical Redesign, but this year, we were already living it. We built a time machine, travelled with a crystal through past and future, and dreamt up a world where difference is celebrated, technology and nature work in harmony, and everyone thrives.I’ll be sharing what happened inside our Coven at Old Town, the visions we imagined with the festival-goers, and what it felt like to open the Lion’s Gate stage before tens of thousands of people, calling in the Guardians of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, the Horned God and the Great Goddess.This is a story about imagination, resistance, and hope. It’s about stepping away from fear and towards love, every step of the way.So come with me, into the chaos of Boomtown, and discover what a Radical Redesign of the future might really look like.I'm off on pilgrimage soon!

In this episode, I’m speaking from the heart about my fight for fairness and equality—not just in politics or policy, but in everyday life. I talk about what it means to stand up when it’s uncomfortable, to challenge systems that are built to exclude, and to keep showing up even when the odds feel stacked. I also explore how easy it is to be blind to our own privilege, and how real change starts when we’re willing to examine the power we hold. And yes, I even make a case for tax. I believe paying tax is a good thing, a sign that we care about each other, that we believe in services, support, and shared responsibility. This episode is a rallying cry for those who still believe in building a fairer world, one small, stubborn act at a time.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

For this special 50th episode, I’m joined by the incredible Seed Sistas – two dear friends who have profoundly shaped my understanding of magic, health, vitality, and the deep, reciprocal relationship we can cultivate with the natural world.Forming friendships with wild plants has been a cornerstone of my pilgrimages. As I’ve walked across the UK, these living beings have offered me company, wisdom, and wonder. With them by my side, I’ve never felt alone. This way of experiencing the world has become utterly precious to me – a source of joy and transformation that I couldn’t now imagine life without.It has also taught me a profound empathy for indigenous peoples who witness the destruction of their more-than-human kin – trees, plants, animals – and feel that loss as we would a friend or family member. All life is sacred. All relationships matter.I absolutely adore the way the Seed Sistas see the world, and it’s a true privilege to introduce them to you. These visionary, warrior women bring so much wisdom, humour and heart – and I can’t wait for you to meet themseedsistas.co.uk@seed_sistasThe music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

During this week’s podcast, I reflect on the adventure that unfolds when I let the universe lead and trust the unknown. I explore the lessons of Mercury Retrograde, tune into Kairos time, and speak on the importance of keeping my nervous system regulated by trusting the process — especially as I head into a season where everything seems to be happening at once.How do I disrupt the old narratives, stay organised, meet my responsibilities, earn money, and nurture my relationships — all at the same time?It is possible, if I stay calm and trust that all will be well. And all will be well, if I create it to be so.So mote it be.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I finally sat down with someone who's become a bit of a mystery and a marvel to me over the past few years: Ray Howard.When I first heard of Ray, he was introduced with a wink and a grin as “the island’s hobo.” That label never sat quite right with me – and after our conversation, I know why. Behind the weather-beaten clothes and wandering spirit is a razor-sharp mind with a deep curiosity for the unseen structures that shape our world.Ray is, in truth, a travelling intellectual. Though often spotted on Sark, he’s mainly based in Oslo and has an intense fascination with the mechanics of linguistics – not just how we speak, but what our words hide, what they reveal, and how meaning lives between the lines. Our chat spiralled into the philosophy of language, the layers beneath conversation, and the strange, shifting relationship between truth and perception.It wasn’t just a talk – it was a peeling back of the layers of meaning. Ray’s mind dances between ideas like stepping stones, and I found myself running to keep up. In the best way.If you’re into language, travel, or challenging assumptions, this episode is for you. And if you've ever passed someone off with a label – even playfully – this one might just make you look again.#47 Let’s Kick this Reality to the Curb & Be the 51%I’m feeling rebellious, disruptive, and fed up with the status quo.

I was absolutely thrilled to interview Roz Rolls this week, fresh off the boat from New Zealand and back on Sark for a visit. Roz is genuinely one of the coolest, most inspiring people I’ve ever met. We first connected around the fire at the Nook—our little sacred spot on the island where we gather under the stars and watch the sunset.Meeting her felt like being welcomed into a circle of wise elders—something I’ve had the honour of experiencing a few times in my life—and I was instantly drawn to her. She carries this deep, grounded knowledge that spans the spiritual, political, and scientific realms, and speaking with her was both eye-opening and uplifting.I didn’t know where the conversation would lead, but I knew it would be special—and Roz didn’t disappoint. I’m absolutely over the moon to be sharing this episode with you, and I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

It's been a year since the Nonsense in the Podcast began and it is a pleasure to be bringing you this week's episode from Glastonbury Festival 2025!It was a bit of a tough one though, even amidst having an amazing time, surrounded by people I love and adore. Who never fail to make me laugh. But there’s so much conflict and pressure in the world right now. We’re all tired and life's hard. We’re more than this. Life's more than this. It’s all bigger than this. And the game, the inner world, the Dreaming, our creativity… It’s all more than this. I don’t know how it’s all going to figure out, but having been at Glastonbury this year, and experiencing a vision there, I am reassured once more that all will be well. AND things are not right. Corruption, neo-liberalism, propaganda, censorship, fascism, lies… These all are happening and the UK is shockingly volatile. Glastonbury Festival likewise feels shaky. Like it has lost its way and is in danger of collapsing. As does the UK. These are difficult times. We are witnessing genocide and are being censored from speaking out against it. Things are a mess.But we will find a way through all this. We must keep going. We will find a miracle. Things will correct themselves. And love, as always, is the answer.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

I said at the start of the year that I’d be doing a dry year and listener Gemma Rogers wrote in to ask me how that was going and if I could do a podcast about my experience of having a dry year. Spoiler alert… I didn’t manage it. Listen in as I share my journey with sobriety, and intoxication, working with all the elements of the ride as teachers. I’m also aware of the irony that this episode is coming out during the week that I’m at Glastonbury Festival, where I’ll be making the most of the luxuries available to me by being on the Big Big Rock and partying like a mofu, as one can over there. But from July… I’m back on the little rock, and back on the wagon!

This is the first time I’ve interviewed someone who lives here on the Island of Sark. Jimmy Martin is an absolute star and it’s a delight to be able to share this beautiful soul with you. We talk about what life is like living here in a tiny community and all the different hats we have to wear. But we juggle all the things so that we can give something back to the island. We have each other’s backs.People are lovely and it’s important that we remember this in a world where the narrative is forever trying to divide and conquer us. In a world that so often pushes division, it’s vital to remember just how lovely people can be. Community, collaboration, and looking out for one another—these are the keys to building a future where we can all grow and thrive. The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

In the forty-second episode of Nonsense in the Chaos, we delve into the sacred significance of the number 42. As revealed in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42 — but the real puzzle lies in not knowing the question. This episode becomes a ‘Quest-I-On’ of its own, leading us to the word abundance. Through this lens, we explore gratitude as a daily practice and learn how to trust the flow of the universe. I reflect on the many ways my life is filled with abundance — and how, if we look closely, so are all of ours. Join me for an intergalactic dance with meaning, mystery, and a healthy serving of bun-based philosophy.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

I first met Naomi through working at Glastonbury Festival putting together the performative elements and installations for Shangri-la, the late night part of the festival, or the naughty corner, as we like to call it. We had worked together for a couple of days before we clocked that we were both fools and it all suddenly made so much sense. I’ve been interested to learn more about Naomi’s story and arts practices for some time now, so interviewing her for the podcast was a great opportunity for finding out more about her world. Naomi is a PhD researcher at Bath Spa University, focusing on the creative and technological responses of theatre artists to COVID restrictions. She’s an immersive theatre writer, director and performer with experience as an independent filmmaker and freelance videographer. Based in and around Bristol, she’s spent years working with Bristol born arts collectives like Shangri-la, Boomtown and the Invisible Circus. The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

Recorded on the Gemini Dark Moon, in the throes of Gemini Season, this is an investigation into the dynamics of the inner and outer versions of ourselves. Exploring the archetypal realm, in lieu of it being the ‘Witchfool Are You?’ Course. This is the time of year, when I support participants to explore which archetypes rule them. This episode untwists the sphincter that separates our juicy infinite inner world to unite it with the infinite chaos of the outer world. Our outer world is desperate for some inner world magic. Too much Thin-King has made it brittle, ‘othering’ and weak. The rich juiciness of the inner world is the balm that will heal and unite this divide. Bringing balance and harmony to both the micro and the macro. Listen now to hear more about how this all works…The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!

TRIGGER WARNINGS: This week's episode is a recording of Sisterhood the play, which deals with themes of sexual abuse, infertility, suicide, and menopause. I'm sharing this in memory of Sophia, who created the live soundscape for this production and toured with me around East Anglia on a healing tour to all the places where Matthew Hopkins tortured and executed witches.Like Handmaid's Tale, but with more hope and gallows humour, Sisterhood is a gentle but fearless adventure into the dark heart of patriarchal rule. Three women, aged 20, 40 and 60 (But not a virgin, mother or hag in sight) stand on a precipice, the patriarchy watching over them – flaming torches aloft – threatening to hang them all. Sisterhood is a devised multimedia tale introducing you to a sisterhood caught between two timelines: the witch trials of the 16thC and modern-day women facing a world in political and environmental upheaval. Sisterhood transports the audience, in this live performance, to a church cell in Wilmington, where three women await their trial in the morning. Soothing and passionate storytelling interweaves the stories of these three women with vestiges from the performer’s own lives, to reveal an immediate and clear association.GROUNDBREAKING WORK “One of the best play scripts I’ve seen at the Fringe… At its core Sisterhood is a superbly written, intelligent, and essential play, masterfully portrayed by its three actresses, exploring the role of male domination, misinformation, sexual abuse, and age discrimination through the lens of the past but contrasted with moments drawn from the modern day.” - Fringe ReviewSisterhood the Novel by Jolie Booth is available on Amazon.The music and artwork is by @moxmoxmoxiemoxNonsense in the Chaos is available on all podcast platforms or you can listen to it here… https://nonsenseinthechaos.buzzsprout.com I'd love to know what you think!
