Ireland has approved plans to permanently implement a basic income program that will support up to 2,200 artists. A cost-benefit analysis found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 back. Officials from other countries are now expressing interest in the program.

Fires rage across Europe – and extremists call climate action “madness.” Our leaders meet this month to decide our future. Tell them: lock in the 90% emissions cut and reject climate rollbacks. action.wemove.eu/sign/2025-08... #petition #climatecrisis

“The West won the world, not by the superiority of its ideas, or values or ideas… but rather by its superiority in applying organised violence. Westerners often forget this fact; Non westerners never do.” Samuel. P. Huntington American political scientist, advisor and academic (1927-2008)

I made this print 'n' fold #zine as much for myself as for you. I’m 2 mths away from a big move and needing to reconnect with the tools I’ve gathered over the years to stay grounded during the great uprooting that comes with any move... Get it here: www.etsy.com/listing/4365...

A slow moving #meditation using the #breath as a metronome: #yogaforbeginners

My mum is my biggest fan and my favourite student ! She deserves her own series of classes. Feel free to join in! #yoga

Back in June I attended a talk with journalist and author Jessica Hundley on plant magick and the summer solstice. This zine is inspired by the answers I got to my question: “How do you listen to plants?”

"Perhaps in order to be “more aligned with [...] the reality of interconnection [...]” we need to give ourselves the grace to find these new ceremonies. To revive ourselves from the dead, even if it means making it up as we go along." mellowbellypress.substack.com/p/thoughts-f...

Join me for an extra gentle #yogapractice designed to help ease anxiety and stress. 🪷

"This #petition represents every person who's been hurt by the bigoted, violent ideologies regularly laundered on Jubilee through the dishonest framing of "debate." Our goal is to make such a content mill financially untenable. In a civil society, it should be." - @mattxiv.bsky.social

She's so cute tho! And she can be yours HERE: www.etsy.com/listing/4333... #fullmoon #zine

I dropped a new #fullmoon #zine on the 10th! www.etsy.com/listing/4333... It's inspired by a talk I attended with journalist and author Jessica Hundley on plant magick and the summer solstice via Advaya 🌞 🪲 🌻

Check out how I'm training for my first #pullup! www.youtube.com/shorts/szFCH...

It me

Growing a garden requires patience. If you get it wrong, you sometimes have to wait a whole year to try again. I haven't been overwhelmed with abundance yet, but I can feel my ease in the garden growing. #gardensky #nature #gardening

Find out the backstory behind OPERATION PULL-UP! It involves an Ayurvedic reset and going through the teenage rebellion I never had... I plan to share updates on my quest to my first pull-up every Sunday over on my Youtube channel to be sure to Subscribe if you don't want to miss a beat!

Dear lovely person awaiting a full moon #zine today, alas the chaos of life has set me back. To say sorry, I'd like to share THIS... I took a late evening bike ride yesterday. On a nearby plateau I came across a herd of 600 sheep. I stayed with them, listening to their bells until the moon rose.

LOL! That time I tried #agnisara #kriya... #yoga #vlog

One of my favourite pieces for #Substack: "The glow of my victory has worn off and I see the city not as an exercise in overcoming my demons, but as a city in and of itself. And it troubles me deeply."

Very proud of this #podcast episode I produced for @radioworkshop.bsky.social! It's always a pleasure to feel that connection to home when I work on a Zim story! #zimbabwe #zimsky #migration #carework

By the way, I have a whole-ass Youtube channel you should go and check out...

And here's the sequel! Good news is, Dizzy recovered from the trauma of having his toys washed. (There was a considerable amount of public concern!) #dog #doglover #dachshund

OK so after sharing that poem about our pups I just couldn't help sharing this gem from the time we washed Dizzy's toys... 🥹 #dogs #doglover #dachshund

Picture this: It's early morning. I extract our #dogs from the bedroom to let my wife sleep. I settle them in their baskets in the lounge. They sleep while I do my #yoga practice, which inevitably leads me to savasana lying on my back with my head near the boys. That's what inspired this #poem...

Now you can find all my Yoga Watch articles under one tab on my Substack:

Should I be out online? I've found myself circling back to this question... "For me, there is only one life-affirming answer to that question. And refusing to hide, refusing to be ashamed, isn’t just life-affirming. It IS activism." mellowbellypress.substack.com/p/existence-... #PrideMonth

I wrote this in 2014 after a trip to Myanmar. I share it again now, because I’m trying to find my way through my #yoga practice in much the same way I was stumbling around the Shwedagon: Awkward. Earnest. Not entirely sure I had a right to be there. mellowbellypress.substack.com/p/barefoot-i...

The more present and connected I am to my body, the more present and connected I am to (...) this living world. Awake to its details. Attuned to its rhythms. Aware of my dependence on it and painfully aware of the peril it’s in. mellowbellypress.substack.com/p/yoga-the-c... #yoga #climatecrisis

Hey #Lisbon! What #yoga spots do you recommend I visit when I come over this summer? #traveladvice #portugal #yogasky

I spent the weekend in #Toulouse recently! Join me on a #tour of the #yoga spots I hit while I was there:

If you're new to print 'n' fold #zines, I made a lil #howto video demonstrating how to fold one over on my Youtube channel:

Go check out my other zines over on Etsy! They usually drop once a month on full moon 🌝 www.etsy.com/shop/mellowb...

Remember that story I was telling you about? It's finally out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=y24n... #podcast #audiodocumentary #narrativepodcast @radioworkshop.bsky.social

Been writing for Substack! As the weeks went by and the little me in my stories got older, I noticed her changing. Unfortunately that tracks with the body of research that says that confidence in girls plummets around the age of 12. So I made a zine to summon her back: www.etsy.com/listing/4304...

This video from trans speaker, educator and author @justflintisfine.bsky.social has inspired me to share a series of short pieces of life writing around gender identity and sexual orientation over the coming weeks… www.instagram.com/reel/DFYCTyn...

With the French government poised to send out survival manuals to all households, I asked myself what internal tools I might need beyond 72 hours of supplies… GET THE ZINE: www.etsy.com/listing/1887... Hit me up in the comments with your go-to ideas, practices, and tools for challenging times👇🏼

Don’t obey in advance. Pay attention. Build community. Take care of each other and the earth. Act, don’t react. Love, not hate. These are my mantras right now. How about you? #democracy #mindfulness

Issue N˚11 of my #zine asks a gentle question: Where’s the harm in leaning into the lyrical? What if we allowed ourselves to see the animism in science? After all, wouldn’t you agree that we need a renewed sense of reverence for #Nature more than ever, right now? GET IT: www.etsy.com/listing/1887...
