This October, Adventure club took a turn as we swam around in the well of solitude. When nights begin to draw in and we take time to reflect on our summer of freedom post pandemic in the UK, the archetypal Lone Wolf begins to skulk into the zeitgeist and curl up in the empty space on the sofa beside us. Let Billie take you on an inner exploration with insights from Byron Katie, Laura Jacklin, Nick Hancock and an Audio Zine on Loneliness... and ofcourse, some fun tunes wedged in there for good measure! Perfect relaxing listen to wind down on an autumnal evening...enjoy

This month Billie interviews Tarot expert and author Alice Grist, Buddhist doctor working in Psychiatry Jo Wagland and Brighton Reiki therapist Danielle Millis.

This is an inspiring and soothing deep dive into ways we can understand and take better care of ourselves. Prepare to see everything with just a little bit more joy and wonder...
