Essays, Teachings, and Reflections for the seasons we are all navigating, plus Tools and Techniques to Remember the Way.

November

Martinmas and Thanksgiving — carrying the light and the cloak of kindness. Storytelling scripts, lantern crafts, gratitude verses and a shared harvest meal.

A painted bare autumn wood at dusk, two children on the leaf-strewn path, the taller holding a lit lantern out at arm's length so its warm glow spreads down the avenue of trunks.

Lantern Walk & Martinmas

Storytelling and craft workshop, with video recordings and audios

A painted November night on the road outside a palace, a young prince kneeling to hold his lantern out to a ragged figure against the wall while loosening his cloak, the palace windows blazing coldly behind him and small lanterns appearing further along the dark road.

The Lantern Prince

Cultivating the quiet inner light — storytelling scripts, silk-and-wool puppet making, lantern templates and traditional Martinmas songs.

A painted village square in autumn where a traveller in a ragged cloak holds up a grey stone beside a great steaming iron pot, villagers pressing in with a cabbage and carrots and a ring of children gathered close around the fire.

Stone Soup

Small gifts become a shared harvest — storytelling scripts, verse cards, crafts and a framework for a community potluck.
