As I rest in between collaborating on the Museflower Life Festival Retreat and Soul Bliss Retreat I am reminded of the power of collaboration. When women who are centred in their power come together and join forces with the sole intention of celebrating life they give birth to something extraordinary – an energy is born that is greater than the sum of their parts, a living breathing thing in […]
Joint Blog By Sarah Walton and Tania Ho *** Tania and I are soul friends who work together and live on different continents most of the year. We join forces once a year to deliver the Soul Bliss Retreat. Our objective: that participants experience the wholeness of their souls feeling totally blissed out! We exchanged stories of our lives over the past year. This year Tania has become a mother […]
I was invited to a digital identity event hosted at the Post Office HQ in London to talk about writing this week – so I shared the story about when I lost my identity and didn’t even recognise my own name. I lost the ability to write but what I gained was a deep and grounded sense of self. I remember the nurse standing over me in the hospital – […]
ON 8 February 2004 I had an accident that would change my life. I was knocked unconscious by a chunk of Cornish slate which resulted in brain injury – that included loss of language, the inability to perform basic tasks – and to my horror, I could no longer write. Writing is my passion and in one foul swoop the dream of being a published writer was taken away from […]
For most of us, life is so full of activities, duties and chores that we have very little time left over to listen to the quiet voice of our soul. I’ve come to think of the soul voice as my inner guide, a compass, the trustworthy captain of my ship. In my experience this voice is usually quiet and very often the loud voices of society, the pressures of what […]
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside your soul” (Maya Angelou) I painted this in 2006 when I was unable to paint detail as I was still recovering from brain injury. The concentration required to paint detail gave me a migraine, made me dizzy, my vision blurred and the effort exhausted me so much I had to sleep, but I discovered that if I stopped thinking […]
‘Soul Bliss’ is the name Tania Ho (Founder of Museflower Spa) and I gave to our 2017 retreat. The intention was to enable participants to access and express their Soul’s Voice with Soul Writing and Shamanic methods. It was a transformative and inspiring experience. I’d initially approached Tania about running Soul Writing Workshops at Museflower as my intuition knew that this idyllic paradise it Northern Thailand would be an ideal […]
On my return flight to the UK after nearly two months travelling I looked out of the airplane window and saw a reflection of the peace and fullness of my soul in the stars. It started with an Equinox pilgrimage to the labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral, a powerful energy point on the planet, then on to the South of France to paint and contemplate the ocean; and finally to Asia […]
It was so much fun to join the Museflower Spa & Retreat team on peaceful organic farm in Northern Thailand this October. Serenity was the word that arose as I sat for the last gathering in the circle of nine beautiful talented women who shared the Life Festival Retreat where I facilitated Soul Writing workshops last week along with other practitioners who offered a range of wellness modalities. I was […]
Sawatdee Soul Writers, This post is about singing your Soul Story and at the end is an exercise for aspiring singer songwriters. This month I am in Thailand to deliver Soul Writing workshops and retreats at Chiang Mai Writers Group and in Chiang Rai’s Museflower Spa. Having been lucky to have had a classical education, the knowledge that the history of story in Western traditions was passed down from singer […]
