Nonsense in the Chaos

In this episode I break with form and introduce you to a very special person, my guardian angel, Anne Clarke. I met Anne through the ephemera she left behind in a house she lived and died in, which I then squatted some years later, discovering a time capsule to her existence, when I found all her belongings had been left behind in the space. Even the spices were still out in the kitchen from her l...

I’m chatting to one of my oldest friends this week, Joanne Tremarco, who’s a birth and death doula, a theatre maker and fellow fool. I met Joanne through fooling nearly twenty years ago. Our relationship was tempestuous to begin with, but we came out the other side with a sister-like friendship and deep understanding of one another.  Joanne is a sensitive soul who, like Denis, works a lot with ene...

This week I explore the turning of the season from summer into autumn, and how this is a time to mulch over what intentions you set for yourself this year, picking through what you’ve learnt and feeling gratitude for all that you’ve harvested from these experiences and insights.  I talk about how my intentions for this year were to explore the ‘Mythos of Love’ and where that adventure took me, alo...

In this week’s episode I get to chat with my dear friend Denis, as we discuss spirit, alternative dimensions, and rooms full of angels. Denis Whyte is a former award-winning documentary producer specialising in Hindu/Buddhist spiritual practices. He’s been an energy healer since 1980 and is involved in spiritually based community work in his neighbourhood in London.  I met Denis on the first pilgr...

This week I'm back in the studio on my own, contemplating how come I've ended up with three older white men in the first ten episodes of the podcast, but how that this is a reflection of current astro-events, as we dip one final time back into the patriarchal world of Capricorn, through the lens of Pluto, before we fully enter into the Aquarius age. We have much to learn from our elders...

Peter Currell Brown AKA ‘Mad Jack’ has been in my life for 35 years and I'd always assumed he would have a cracking life story to share and in this week's episode he does not disappoint. He mentioned in our chat that he's on Wikipedia and I highly recommend having a look at his page because there's much on there he didn't get around to talking about on this podcast. He doe...

Having left behind the madness of Boomtown Festival, I spent this week decompressing in the 16th Century, at Kentwell Hall Tudor Re-Creation,  nestled in amongst the idyllic village of Long Melford in Sudbury.   Populated by historians and talented experts, in this week's podcast I interview a myriad of fascinating friends; my oldest friend Samson, trumpet maker Lettys, glass blower Tom Shrub...

This week I chat to Declan Morgan, Sally Zaltash and Scarlett Lowin while we walk the Elen line from the Isle of Wight, up the Itchen River, to the sacred land temple of St Catherine's Hill and the bowl in which Boomtown is held.  I discuss druidry with Declan, Christianity with Sally, and reflect back over the festival with Scarlett. Can't believe that all just happened. What a creative...

Having walked the length and breadth of the UK, I share in this week’s episode the impact the experience of walking 2000 miles across the UK has had on my life and the plethora of things I’ve learnt from ever so slightly discovering how to ‘listen to the land’.  The books I mention in this week's podcast are; ‘The Sun and the Serpent’ by Paul Broadhurst & Hamish Miller ‘The Book of Trespa...

This week I’m over the moon to be welcoming the world famous @fooljonathankay to your airwaves. Jonathan is recognised as a leading performer in the ‘Theatre of Immediacy’ of Fooling, and is a highly respected practitioner and teacher of Fooling workshops. He is the founder of the largest street theatre festival in the UK, The Hat Fair, and is an Honorary Fellow of The University of Winchester. He...

In this week's episode of the Nonsense in the Chaos, a weekly podcast where I let the universe lead and take a 'Fool's leap' plunge into the unknown, I share about my ever deepening love of nature and the land, a relationship that's especially grown since embarking on a series of pilgrimages. I then pull a rune that leads me to a 'Runemation' on the archetype of...

This week's podcast is out and I'm super excited to be interviewing my darling friend @meganlouiseclifton who is Head of Narrative at Boomtown Fair, where she manages multiple theatre companies and other creative crews to deliver an interactive collaborative narrative to 55,000 people over 4 days.  Sitting between theatrical writer and game designer, Megan likes to create strange and bea...

Welcome to the Nonsense in the Chaos, a weekly podcast where I let the universe lead and take a 'Fool's leap' plunge into the unknown. In this first episode I'll be introducing you to the concepts behind this new podcast and sharing a little a bit about what has led me to this place, where I'm able to relish in the nonsense and the chaos of the universe (from someone who w...
