The happy face of someone who has had a wonderful week, with a set of wonderful writers and artists.

Together, we all created a good, thoughtful environment for each other—thank you to everyone who was part of it. 🩷

Another lovely event at our Autumn Salon. So wonderful to welcome Jessica J. Lee for an evening thinking about the element of air.

A pleasure to hear her read from her beautifully structured, spacious book 'Dispersals,' and reflect on how she combined her family history with botanical history.

It's been a great day: we began the Autumn Salon with good, grounding exercises. We placed our feet on the earth and imagined all beneath them. We read poems by Joy Harjo and fiction by Han Kang.

A highlight of my year: to gather people for a week of early morning writing and thinking together. ⁠

Mushroom joy! Look at these mushrooms! Mushrooms!!⁠

I went for a long walk in the rain today, smelling all the damp earth and marvelling at how much was growing everywhere.⁠
