Grief is a universal experience that affects us all. It can be difficult finding the courage to speak about it but you will tread lighter if you do. Remember that you must not walk this path alone.

#GriefAwarenessWeek #GAW2025

On this day, we celebrate the birthday of creator, director and author Lavinia Duval @laviniadv.bsky.social who has been keeping busy with creating more material for the world including more concept art and additional scripts. May she live well, eat well and remain healthy. Skål!

We have come to deliver a message: The SOULTRIAL #audiodrama has officially entered production stage. #soultrial

SOULTRIAL strives to inspire others to create without GenAI. We value human creativity and the process of creation. Learning and practising is part of it. We have all that we need to create already within us... if there is a will. Good things take time and that is okay. #forhumancreativity #noGenAI
