Gratitude Gallery - Five Absolute Life Savers
Below are links to people, places and a book that have been essential to my mental well-being and my ability to make any sort of creative work. Thank you!
Alastair McIntosh
Theologian, environmental activist, mystic and poet Alastair McIntosh has been a mentor to me, whether he realises it or not.
Pilgrimage
Whether it's a short trip to the 8ft stone griffins in Shard End or cycling through Mull to the island of Iona, pilgrimage is life-giving and rejuvenating.
Sputnik Arts
Sputnik is a network of serious creatives and is a steady source of joy, stimulation and support. I'm especially grateful for producer Andy Gordon.
The Silmarillion
I've been completely blindsided by J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion'
existential effect on me. Put simply, it has given me hope for the future.
Into the Wild
Journey Into the Wild men's retreats have been profoundly encouraging. They've helped me unscramble my spirit and appreciate the role of myth and ritual in my life.
