We often think of uncertainty as something to overcome - but what if it’s also what makes growth possible?

In existential psychotherapy, uncertainty is the space where freedom and creativity live.

"Perhaps the most striking findings is that the British public vastly overestimates the cost getting to net zero by almost 14,000%, fueling scepticism & a reluctance to pay. On average, they estimate it will need 28% of GDP by 2050, compared to @thecccuk.bsky.social forecast of just 0.2%"
Are the advocates for net zero losing the fight?

One in three mouthfuls of our food are due to the hard work of pollinating insects, including bumblebees. But insect populations are crashing. Help them by growing nectar-rich plants that flower in autumn, winter and early spring.

I nearly just stepped over this leaf like so many others on the ground at this time of year. Not sure why it caught my eye, perhaps because it was all alone… But once you look closely there is so much to see that is beautiful here.

Today's tiny mushroom… nearly didn't spot it peaking through the leafy woodland floor.

What really scares you this Halloween 🎃 👻
We asked some friends and supporters of PFF you might recognise what they think is truly scary about Halloween this year.

Watch our 2 min welcome video (link in bio) and join us if you relate.

Autumnal vibes. We call this tree Steve—named after the lovely book Our Tree Named Steve. Giving names helps build connections; now, every time we visit the woods, my girls want to check in on all the trees they've named.

"Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose #joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift."

Why do you keep tapping on this silly box when you could be stroking a cat... And of course he is quite right 😉 #cat #logic #bemorecat

What if #self-care isn’t a jug to pour from, but a #forest to grow a web of roots and whispers.

#Mushrooms everywhere in the woods this week.
Reminding me that #care grows quietly, underground.
new post: growing a #mycelium network of care:
about rest, resilience, and the ripple effects of love

Made a friend in the woods yesterday…

A Puddock! That's the Doric for them anyway… put me in mind if a poem I learned at school, I might have to see if I can find it…

We loved joining our community at Common Farm recently. Sitting on the edge of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site, it lets people reconnect with nature, enjoy the benefits of fresh air, wildflowers, berries for picking and all other shades of abundant wildlife on their doorstep.

What if #slowness was a form of #care? A #radical act in a world that rushes. In my latest Substack post, I invite you to take a #slow walk — not to reach a destination, but to listen.
Move gently. Listen deeply. Let the land guide you.

Congratulations from all of us at LCK to @sammiemc.bsky.social for this recognition, and her invitation to #WomenOfYear2025

I’m so proud to shared this 😊

I have been so looking forward to attending and connecting with such an inspiring group of women from across the country. However, on this occasion, #LongCovid prevails, a reminder that determination and positivity can’t beat illness alone. Patients need answers
