🎧 I think summer is the perfect time to work on our spiritual health, and our next podcast guest is a favourite spiritual mentor… ✨

Hello episode FOUR of series two of The Bibliotherapists, a podcast all about the healing power of words that’s hosted on - and celebrates the people of - Substack.

For the next month my co-host and I will be sharing weekly conversations with writers and creatives whose work we love, asking them to share their VIBs (very important books) and how they use words to heal themselves, and others.

🎧 EPISODE 4: DONNA LANCASTER

For our next episode we’re joined by Donna Lancaster a life transitions coach, spiritual mentor and elder-in-training.

Donna, 58, has worked in the therapeutic space for more than 30 years, starting her career as a social worker. She was formerly the head of teaching at the Hoffman Institute UK, and co-created the renowned The Bridge Retreat, a six-day residential personal development experience.

(Our community will be watching Love(d), the documentary made about The Bridge, together on Monday 18th August so join us for that if you can).

This episode is a balm for anyone navigating loss, longing or big life transitions.
