Hello and welcome,

Think of this space as a clearing in the woods, a pause in the trees, a circle of soft ground where we can gather, listen, and share. It is open, rooted, and unhurried. A place to step away from the noise and small boxes of social media, and to enter into conversation with plants, story, and the wildness we carry within us.

I write from the forest of Dartmoor, weaving plants, seasons, and lived experience into stories of recovery, belonging, and the untamed intelligence of the living world. These letters are part memoir, part plant-teaching, part love-song to the earth. They are written for anyone who longs to return to their body, their belonging, and their kinship with the more-than-human world.

What you’ll find here:

  • Moonlit Pages - Full Moon journaling prompts that are invitations to write, reflect, and compost under the full moon.

  • In-depth essays and plant stories, explorations of wild medicine, trauma recovery, and rewilding the heart.

  • Creativity Circle - Each Monday we gather online to support each others creative practise.

Coming soon -

  • A monthly audio meditation

  • Seasonal online gatherings - a circle of voices, held by the turning of the year.

Free subscribers are welcomed with some of my writings, an invitation to wander the edges of the clearing.

Paid subscribers are invited to gather by the fire, where the deeper stories, practices, and circles are shared. By becoming paid, you’re not only supporting my writing, but tending to this space so that it can remain alive, nourished, and offered in reciprocity.

Pull up a log. The kettle’s on. The woods are waiting.

****Please know, that as a paid subscriber, you don’t have to attend or read everything that is sent to you, this is a space for you to use as you wish, dipping into things that feel delicious, or that you have space for.

I’m Brigit, a writer, eco-psychotherapist, guide, botanist, forager, herbalist, naturalist, and mother. More than anything, I am a person learning, again and again, how to compost, transform, and grow in this life.

My work is rooted in wildness, guiding people to rewild their psyche, to return to the aliveness within, and to remember their belonging in the living world. I carry an obsession with nature, born of necessity: it has been the deepest medicine in my own journey through recovery and complex PTSD.

I love adventure, story, words, art, and alchemy, and it’s those threads I hope to weave here for you. This space grew from a longing to write more freely, outside the frame of my therapeutic work and beyond the narrow algorithms of social media.

Here, I write about what it means to be human, about the slow work of thriving after trauma, and about the wild intelligence that moves both around us and within us. Plants, seasons, and stories are the threads I follow; they are the teachers that remind me, and all of us, how to live, heal, and belong.

Why pay

Creating this space takes time, care, and devotion. Your support makes it possible for me to write and share sustainably — to tend the fire and keep these offerings alive. A subscription costs about the same as a cup of coffee each month, but it allows me to create with consistency, depth, and love.

I know not everyone is in a position to pay, which is why I offer a free connection letter each month. And for those who can, choosing paid helps me pour more fully into the work.

As a thank you, here is a button for 20% off subscription
