Independence = needing no one (unhealthy)

Codependence = needing a specific person (unhealthy)

Interdependence = a network that includes partner(s), friends, family, colleagues - where there’s no individual person you need - but the network itself can be relied on. So a relationship can dissolve, friends or family members can fall out, and that might be something to grieve profoundly- but you are fundamentally ok, because you have the network to fall back on.

Paradoxically the independent and codependent reinforce each other - when you have no one, then gaining one person, without the network, necessarily results in a binary - codependence or independence - that’s the only choice you see.

I’ve spent so much time in the independent, and attempted to avoid the codependent like the plague - but I’m beginning to learn the interdependent, I hope (or rather, realise the network that already exists)

To all the big and little nodes in my network: thank you, and I’m sorry if I’m not very good at this yet.

Come explore the healing power of oxytocin through slow, conscious, consensual touch. We begin in stillness alone, move through music and sensation, and find our way - layer by layer, always at your own pace - toward genuine connection and belonging - as much or as little as is right for you in the moment. A rare drop into being truly met.

Come and join us THIS SATURDAY

Touch As Medicine (oxytocin dance meditation) in back again in Totnes- Saturday 21st February.

Tickets: https://dandelion.events/e/s2bod

Join us for an evening of sensual, non-verbal connection through conscious, loving, platonic touch. In this immersive, safely guided journey, you’ll explore the healing power of oxytocin—the hormone of trust and bonding—while nourishing your body, mind, and nervous system. Touch is always optional and boundaries are clearly defined.

Think Contact Improv meets Latihan meets Ta**ra

We will start a little bit earlier this time, at 6pm, and have an extra half hour - finishing at 9:30 to give us a little bit of extra time at the end when everyone is in such a yummy space.

We are also trying a new venue - The Forge on Collins Road - it’s a very beautiful space with proper heating.

We look forward to seeing you there. Tickets are £25 in advanced and £30 on the door (£10 concessions available)

It's a nice process to go through all my pictures from the year and really reflect on it at this time.

01/01/2026

Listening to the voice of the soul amongst the cacophony of other voices - the ego, the mind, the emotions, trauma responses, conditioning, patterns...

The voice of the soul is quiet - you have to listen
The voice of the soul is patient - it has no urgency
The voice of the soul speaks concisely in the present tense, it has no unnecessary fluff.
The voice of the soul does not argue for or defend itself, it just speaks its piece and waits quietly, until you listen again, and it does it again.

The soul's purpose is a living thing - a vibration, it cannot be written down in a mission statement, it will not be pinned into anything fixed. It must be allowed to move and evolve and pivot.

The soul doesn't care if your mind understands why it is going the direction it is, only that it is the aligned direction. The mind likes to have a story to hold on to, and as long as your mind's story and your soul's direction are aligned, it will be quiet. But as soon as they diverge, it will begin to speak, and the mind, so clear in its mission, will not like what it says. It will argue and resist, find all the reasons why changing direction doesn't make sense, or is dangerous or wrong. It will be very convincing.

It precipitates an ego death, a dissolution of who you thought you were and where you thought you were going.

This can take a day or a whole lifetime to re-align yourself. It can happen again and again and again.

And I doubt sometimes - am I listening to the right voice - the other voices can be very sneaky in pretending to be the soul - and yet this is the voice from my training, through ISTA and Highden. Did I learn to listen to the right voice? When I hear criticisms of those schools I can feel the parts of me that want to be defensive and justifying, so I don't give in to those and I hold open the door for the possibilities, maybe the teachings were misguided or incomplete. It's possible. But all I can do is keep listening, keep discerning, keep trusting.
