Oh dearest Kerri, what an incredible privilege and pleasure it was to do this with you, there are tears in my eyes as I read your beautiful words... I'm still trying to find my own to describe the magic and pure beauty of it all. Thank you so much, what an absolute joy it was xxx

I thought as I was reading your piece, “this is work that nourishes.” I have been paying attention to what kind of work nourishes me and trying to do more of it. Thank you for describing this wonderful example of such work.

This is so lovely to read, and so inspiring as we stand on the cusp of autumn. I don’t think you should apologise for delighting in the sharing of dress sense and an actual dress alongside everything else … it’s a recognition and expression of empathy that I completely understand.

This sounds like absolute magic and medicine… there really isn’t anything more rich than gathering with other women in person and feeling that web of holding and connection. What a gift. Thank you so much for sharing the experience with us. Xxx

This is delightfully beautiful!

Cornwall is a magical place.

Sauna's are amazing and we have our own, by the water, that we built ourselves. Ice baths are the best.

I need a retreat in my life.

Sharing clothes is an intimate act of friendship.

I noticed the first photo had the poem by Tom Hirons, Sometimes a Wild God. Are you a Nick Cave fan? Because his new album Wild God came out and his Red Hand Files brought the two together this week: https://www.theredhandfiles.com/my-poem-sometimes-a-wild-god/

The Universe is amazing.

What a lovely post Kerri. Thank you for sharing. PS. It was great to see Sometimes a Wild God by Tom Hirons in one of your pictures. I've met him and heard him read the poem and of course Nick Cave called him out this week.
