This month, I thought a lot about our community and wondered why it was that they were all so dearly cool. So, rather than do the guesswork, I set out to ask them some questions. I didn’t interrogate them, nor did I put words into their mouths. Instead I simply allowed them to talk. What…

What the Greeks taught us about wellness
This summer, I left our beloved Barcelona to delve into the culture of another place. I decided to scurry over to our neighbouring country, Greece. Mostly because I was particularly interested in how they lived, what they may have inherited from the classic antiquity and what implications that had on their wellbeing. In other words,…
Embody the Healing Light at Midnight
I sat last night on a roof terrace with a very dear friend Benjamin Swatez. This friend of mine is very special because his heart is explosive and his mind is amazing. As we usually do, we deep dived into a sentimental chat and happened to land on the full moon. Together we realised that…
Let’s Join Together in a Verse of Happiness
Whilst I was at the beach last month I decided I’d set myself a daily task of writing a verse. What this task did was guide me to the people, places and pages that opened my heart to my blessings. Now what I’m going to do is share those blessings with you to urge you on…
Interview with Sandra, our local Zen Coach
It was a Friday afternoon and I was thrilled to be meeting up with Sandra Geitz. I walked through the city streets remembering the last time I briefly met her. She was hosting a Zen Coaching workshop about surrendering to the here and now, and what an enlightening workshop it was. I came away learning…
A Poem From the Barcelona Beach
When the sun is sweltering She invites us to jump in, When we can’t stop flapping She jokes and keeps splashing. When our pastries join on She feeds us her sand song, When we bare no more thirst She frames the way as headfirst. When we tell her our secrets She says they have a…
We hold hands for International Women’s Day
I’m snowed in and I feel like Im part of the book from Stephen King. If you don’t know him, he is a real King where story telling comes in. He titles the book Misery. But what a tripe destiny to be the one that is not free. The plot thickens as the main character…
Holly dolly toys with a selection of our essential oils
We call her Holly dolly. She sees us as we fall down like the rain and rise back up again. She looks at us puzzled as we try to earn and gain. And she can’t stand it when she feels like she’s in a chain. But with Holly dolly there is no blame or shame….
Project your love somewhere swell this Valentine’s day
Shocked and in awe of Alfred Hayes, author of 1954’s book ‘In Love’, I was inspired by his ability to efficiently describe his soul’s desire into a short love story. By way of his projections onto his lover, and following, his blank canvas, I recognised in myself some of the mysteries of the mind of…
A healing kind of poison
Have you ever felt like things have a very mysterious air about them? You drop by a coffee shop and meet a man that sweeps you off your feet when you need it the most? You receive an unexpected cheque in the post when you are desperate to fund your life long dream? You receive…

We wish you freedom and courage for 2018
Just like a new leaf in the book of life, 2017 has been read. And for me, Anneka, the author of this blog, it really was the most mesmerizing page in my own book of life. Far from being boring, my book had nothing to do with successes and riches of the material kind. It…
