From Istanbul to Baghdad ~ A Journey Back in Time
Before I share my next adventure, I thought I’d invite you to join me once again on the Istanbul Express!
I was just 20 when I made this extraordinary journey through Syria to Baghdad ~ a different world and a different time.
Slow-moving trains, food vendors jumping aboard, unexpected adventures and glasses of sweet black tea beside the Tigris River.
If you missed my story the first time, I’d love you to come travelling with me!
And while you're visiting my website, I'd love you to sign up for my occasional newsletter, where I share more of my adventures, reflections and upcoming events 🧡

I’m thrilled to be announcing a brand-new course, The Alchemy of Crystal and Sound, bringing together my two great passions ~ Crystal Healing with crystals and gems, which I have practised and taught for more than 30 years, and Sound Therapy with Crystal Singing Bowls, which has been part of my life and work for almost three decades.

I have often been asked when I would bring these two modalities together in one comprehensive course, and at last the time feels right. I believe this may be one of the first courses of its kind to explore in depth the art of weaving crystals and gems with Crystal Singing Bowls, musical notes, harmony and sacred form.

This course will also become the foundation for my next book, which I plan to begin writing after the publication of my spiritual fable, Sally of the Leaves.

The very first Alchemy of Crystal and Sound course will be presented in the beautiful Blue Mountains in February 2027. To create an intimate and deeply experiential learning environment, numbers are limited to just six participants, so I encourage you to book early if you feel drawn to join me for this very special first offering.

Love and peace

The Global Crystal Bowl Symposium 4 is a global event being held at the 5-Star TUI BLUE Angkor Grace Wellness Resort from 29 October - 5 November 2026. During the program, we will hear from masters of the Crystal Bowls, on Sound, Science, and Spirituality.

🌅 Close your eyes for a moment. Can you hear it? 🎶✨

The warmth of a Cambodian sunset.
A gentle breeze through the tropical gardens.
The day's conversations fade into peaceful silence.

The first crystal bowl begins to sing. One note becomes many, drifting through the evening air as the sky turns gold, amber, and rose. Around you, people from across the world pause, breathe, and simply listen.

It's more than a soundscape. It's a moment where time slows down. A reminder that some of life's most meaningful experiences aren't rushed; they're felt.

At GCBS4, these are the moments we'll carry home with us: the memories we create, the peace we experience, and the feeling of being fully present.

As the sun sets over Angkor Grace, perhaps you'll discover that the most powerful resonance isn't coming from the bowls. It's the one awakening within you. 💛

✨ Imagine yourself there. What's the first feeling that comes to mind? Share one word in the comments below; we'd love to hear it. 🌏👇

💃✨ Every movement tells a story. Every note carries centuries of tradition. ✨🎶

One of the greatest gifts of attending GCBS4 is experiencing the rich cultural heart of Cambodia.

Traditional Khmer dance is renowned for its graceful, flowing movements, with each gesture symbolising emotions, nature, mythology, or moments from ancient legends.

Accompanied by the mesmerising sounds of traditional Cambodian music, these performances offer a beautiful glimpse into a culture where art, storytelling, and spirituality have been intertwined for generations.

As we gather to explore the healing power of sound, we'll also have the opportunity to appreciate another timeless expression of vibration and connection: music that has preserved Cambodia's heritage and inspired its people for centuries.

Travel isn't just about seeing new places; it's about opening our hearts to new perspectives. By embracing Cambodia's artistic traditions, we deepen our understanding of the country that will so warmly welcome us to GCBS4.

Who knows? Your most unforgettable memory might not be only the sound of crystal bowls, but also the rhythm, beauty, and grace of Cambodia itself. 💛

✨ Before you arrive, take a few moments to discover the magic of traditional Khmer dance and music. You might find yourself falling in love with Cambodia before your journey even begins.

💛 Sometimes the person who helps you heal isn't the one with all the answers; they're the one who simply stays beside you. 💛

Healing isn't meant to be a solo journey. It's found in the friend who listens without judgement. The teacher who encourages you to keep growing. The community that celebrates your wins, lifts you through challenges, and reminds you that you belong.

That's one of the things we treasure most about the Global Crystal Bowl Symposium. People arrive from all corners of the world, often as strangers, and leave with friendships, mentors, and a community that continues to inspire them long after the symposium ends. 🌏✨

Whether it's sharing a sunrise at Angkor Wat, learning alongside world-renowned presenters, or sitting together in the beautiful resonance of crystal singing bowls, something special happens when hearts come together with a shared intention.

Because healing has a way of growing stronger when it's witnessed, encouraged, and shared. 🎶🌿

At GCBS4, we're not just creating an event; we're nurturing a community where everyone has something to teach, something to learn, and something meaningful to offer.

✨ Here's a little love challenge:

Tag someone who has supported your healing journey, believed in you, or simply been there when you needed them most. Let them know how much they mean to you. 💛👇

The crystals spoke to me this morning.

I am Citrine, warming the solar plexus, dissolving self-doubt and calling forth the courage to begin.
I am Black Tourmaline, standing at the gate, grounding my energy and returning what is not mine to carry.
I am Moonstone, attuned to the tides within me, softening the sharp edges and welcoming mystery.
I am Crystal, vibrating with the Earth and the Stars.

Take a moment to feel which crystal is with you right now. 🌞

Sound. Stone. Soul.

This is the path.

This is the work.
