Sharing authentic life from embodied wisdom - a reminder that alternative, conscious, intentional living is possible.

31/08/2026

August in Frames 🤎

August has been a pretty tough month to navigate. There’s been a lot to process, both emotionally and physically, and much of that hasn’t been captured here.

Life isn’t all pretty dresses and smiles. For every up, there’s a down, and I want to keep this space real whilst also honouring my own sacred processes. Some things are simply not for documenting, and I value keeping those parts of my life private.

Perhaps that comes at the cost of appearing less than fully “authentic” on social media, which is why I wanted to say this before sharing the gentler moments from August.

So, here are some of the less challenging times…

1. Pretending the world isn’t full of new builds and plastic, whilst flirting with ancient stone buildings at Glastonbury Abbey.

2. Photographing so many beautiful souls around Glastonbury. My first experience of street photography, and I discovered that consensual, collaborative work is very much my preference.

3. So many sunsets at Glastonbury Tor with my babies. This place is so special to me - and it’s not just the land, but the people who make it feel sacred.

4. Walking part of the Ridgeway and meeting monks en route, which made me very happy indeed. Britain’s oldest road felt like a rather fitting place for such an encounter.

5. Taking care of my friend’s chickens for a week. Completely wholesome. 🐔

6. My first astrophotography session, which I loved so much. ✨ I’ve spent a lot more time looking up since. 🤩

7. Making the most of the eclipse lighting for an impromptu shoot, wearing this gifted dress from Toonzshop and channelling my inner Eros. 🌹

8. Cinema, but in a way that feels a little more comfortable for me, at The Rex Cinema Berkhamsted

9. A couple of holistic photoshoots — I am LOVING this work. Long may it continue. 🙏🏼 Wild Divine Creative | Photo, Film & Social Media Management

10. Freya asking to take a camera out on a walk. I absolutely adored watching her reactions every time she got a shot she was proud of. ☺️

11. Walks with my boy, who has had a growth spurt and is now as tall as me. 😳

July in Photos
1. Spent the first days at the end of my hosted stay at The Goytree | Off-grid Treehouses and Yurts on Welsh borders capturing content for them 📷
2. Learnt more about my body and her boundaries with another hEds flare up which gave me full permission to do lots of resting and reading.
3. Recovered just in time for Oh Shala Bhakti Festival where I spent a long weekend with beautiful friends and likeminded people 🫶🏻
4. Made myself so many nourishing bowls and plates of beautiful food 🥘
5. Was blessed with another hosted stay at Willow Wharf where I spent a few days capturing content for them and now manage their social media account for them which led to more social media management opportunities 💻
6. Got my new camera and spent hours of fun capturing portraits, street and nature scenes 📸 I’m so content with my new business venture Wild Divine Creative | Photo, Film & Social Media Management (a follow for support would be very much appreciated)
7. Had a spontaneous gong bath on the Tor in glastonbury - I love the diversity and the ‘anything goes’ aspect to this beautiful town.
8. Mine and the kids annual trip to Glastonbury where we recreate the same pose on the bench mid way up the tor - this year their shoulders are inline with mine 🙊
9. Ate lots of lunches at our favourite cafe The Vegan Pyramid
10. Spent time at a place I could sit all day and soak in the diversity, energy and beauty, the white spring 🌹

A month that flew by, with the law of opposites very much at play. As my new photography and content creation business takes off and exciting opportunities keep appearing, I’ve found myself doing more and being less.

My body reminded me where my balance lies, with pain forcing me to pause. I’ve even turned down a great opportunity next week because I’m choosing to listen instead of push through.

Living with hEDS means I have less available energy and need more rest than many people to avoid flare-ups. I actually see this as a gift. It reminds me that we’re human beings, not human doings. Opportunities, especially those that promise financial growth, can tempt us to keep saying yes, but I’m learning that real success comes from honouring what my body has available rather than constantly chasing more.

Somewhere along the way, we started calling this “alternative”.

A home that works with nature.
A space that invites slowness.
A place where the materials, light and surroundings feel connected to something deeper.

Yet humans have lived in relationship with the earth for far longer than we’ve lived separated from it.

Perhaps what we’re craving isn’t something new…
perhaps it’s something familiar.

A reminder that a home doesn’t have to look one particular way.
That comfort doesn’t have to mean more.
That luxury doesn’t have to mean excess.

These beautiful spaces at The Goytree | Off-grid Treehouses and Yurts on Welsh borders are a reminder that there are many ways to create a home — and maybe we’ve simply forgotten how many choices we have.

My nervous system certainly knows where it feels most at ease.

The Celtic Wheel of the Year reminds me that life isn’t a straight line of endless growth, achievement and productivity.

It moves in cycles. Just as we do too.

The moon waxes and wanes.
The seasons turn.
The body asks for activity, rest, expression and retreat in equal measure.

These bodies were ‘built’ of and for this earth not the system. These bodies are so intelligent and work beautifully when synched to the planet they are on.

Women experience life through hormonal rhythms that ebb and flow over a 28day cycle - as does the moon 🌙
Men experience hormonal changes through a daily cycle, rising and falling with the rhythm of each day - as does the sun 🌞

Yet modern life often expects us to perform at the same pace all year round, regardless of what season we’re in - externally or internally.

Midsummer offers a different perspective.

At the peak of light, darkness begins its return.
At the height of growth, change is already underway.

The ancient festivals weren’t simply celebrations. They were reminders that nothing stays the same, and that every phase of the cycle has its own wisdom.

So if you’ve been feeling tired, out of step, or as though you’re somehow falling behind, perhaps the invitation isn’t to push harder.

Perhaps it’s to remember that you are part of a living cycle.

Blessed Midsummer ☀️

I’ve been experimenting with unstructured time.
No plans to fill time, just being open to whatever the day brings. In my experimentation I’ve learnt that no structure at all invites chaos and that some adulting is necessary for safety, deservingness and survival. But other than structures to meet our fundamental needs nothing else really needs a plan.
Living to time restraints causes stress, so why do we add these time stamps to our days ?
To avoid the discomfort of having no plans ? Why ? Because there’ll be space, space to feel what lies beneath the busyness. That which is avoid doesn’t go away on its own, it stays with us until it feel safe enough to be witnesses, revealed and healed.
So we can busy all we like but that baseline of anxiety & sadness is which visits us in these quiet times will always come knocking, until the door is opened.
So, I’ve been taking time to open the doors to the parts of me that are uncomfortable to feel, and little by little, tear by tear, those quiet moments don’t feel scary anymore. Infact there are moments of nothingness in the silence, peace, gratitude and love are filling the spaces of what’s been released.
So, stop rushing my love.
There is nowhere to rush to anyway 🫶🏻
The past is in the past and can’t be changed but we can grow and learn from our experiences.
The future is yet to be experienced.
Be present in this now moment, the only moment that is real.

Snippets of my life aboard my floating home so far this month 🫶🏻

I plan on doing one of these a month to share the variation of boat life sounds and sights though the seasons 🫶🏻

Hope you enjoy, Jen 🫶🏻

The theme of my path at the moment is learning that space doesn’t have to be filled.

Filling space was a survival skill I perfected - a way of keeping myself moving so I never had to slow down enough to feel what was sitting underneath the steady stream of planned moments.

I wasn’t aware of it at the time.
I just kept going. And going.
Until life created the kind of stopping I couldn’t plan my way out of.

And in that spaciousness, I started to feel what I had been avoiding - truths that were too heavy to face, decisions that needed to be made for the greater good of all involved, wounds that had been left untended, and parts of me that had been quietly waiting for care.

From that divinely orchestrated spacious months I’ve been on a seven-year journey of unlearning and rebuilding, and as I approach this summer I feel something new - a softness, a safety, and a willingness to only say yes when it’s a full F**K YES.

I’m planning as little as is achievable, leaving space for spontaneity and instinct. Like last night’s walk where these images were taken - a moment that unfolded naturally and somehow led to an invitation for an event on the very first day of my otherwise unplanned week next week. A full yes, of course.

I don’t believe we can completely step outside of structure in the world we live in - there will always be things we have to plan for. But I’m treating this as an experiment in loosening my grip.

So this summer I’m curious to see what life brings… when I stop trying to make it all happen myself.

This human experience can be very difficult.

And it’s even more difficult when we grasp, are disillusioned by control, and are avoiding feeling the full spectrum of emotions.

When we trust that we are always where we are meant to be, for our unique journeys.
When we allow ourselves to be like water, to flow and choose to see obstacles as invitations to learn more about ourselves, to unlearn and relearn, to grow and evolve. When we allow ourselves to break down in tears and expand in ecstatic bliss without fearing what others might experience of us.

In my opinion, this is when life on this spectacular planet, in these beautiful human bodies becomes an ease full dance instead of an uphill march.

I’m proud of you, I’m proud of me.
We are all doing the best we can.
Much Love, Jen 🫶🏻
