I write at the intersection of creativity, herbalism and alchemy from a hamlet in a forest.
From the writer: I'm a poet, novelist, publisher and herbalist and love helping others on their transformative paths; here’s a piece with a wonderful exploration of the ‘language of the land.'

Artist’s note: This was a joyful midsummer devotion post created after a lovely morning of just that—midsummer devotion.

Exploring ways that we, trapped and complicit in destructive systems we hate, might find a way forward— holding our grief, fear, and anger in the same trembling hands as wonder, humility, and awe.
From the author: After a difficult week, I reflected here on the rich, inspiring, enlightening interactions I had with the wonderful writers here in the Substack community.

I'm a children's book author / mystery writer who has increasingly turned to nature for inspiration; my Substack explores the intersections of mystery and nature writing.
Author’s note: I'm often out looking for ideas in nature, wondering if these seeds will grow into essays, stories, or entire books. Sometimes my mystery writing mind takes over, as it did when I encountered owl feathers strewn through the woods one day.

Exploring a (real-life) woodland garden, through the lives of the (decidedly fictional) urban wildlife who live there.

Shaking off the noise on countryside walks, Pipp began writing on photography shoots in nature. Her book, ‘Sanctuary’ came out in January 2024; a countryside saunter through the seasons, its nature photography inspired by the sparkle of dawn with little text on a gentle self-care theme.
From the artist: I liked the creative touch in this story. It finishes on a cliff hanger which is rare in my stories. Though I have many favourites, the response from other writers to write the next chapter was amazing and fun.
