A rich and beautiful conversation

exploring disobedience, transgression and the wisdom of the wild soul

This week I have something a little different for you. In the spirit of gathering bones and wild wisdom, and calling in the graceful warriors, I offer you a beautiful conversation with Dr Vanya Leilani - a short video and the full conversation in audio. Vanya is author of The Flesh and the Fruit; Remembering Eve and the Power of Creative Transgression. Without a doubt, it was the best book I read in 2024.

Vanya has agreed to do a Q&A with us around the book and her work on Monday March 17 11 PS/7 GMT. More details on that to come, but pencil it into your diaries.

Here is a short video clip from the end of our conversation, where we talk about sovereignty, Vanya’s School of Wild Knowing and her poignant thoughts on her younger self. I particularly love that she refuses to judge or berate her younger self for the decisions she made. Couldn’t we all learn from that!

The full audio version of our conversation is here.

Note: we recorded this conversation in December, so if we refer to ‘next year’ it means this one!
