In this week’s episode of The Soul Garden podcast, I reflect on my own connection with nature and ways I have worked with it over the past ten years of Archeus.
For me, stepping away from my previous career, to step fully into this realm of working with nature, with plants to create offerings to support health and wellbeing at a physical, emotional and spiritual level has been so rewarding, so life-enriching. So in this episode I share some of my thoughts on my approach to formulation, the rules I gave myself when starting Archeus, and the different ways I have explored the healing power of nature over the past decade.I hope you find this informative and maybe even just a little inspiring!!!

What are the things we tell ourselves about ourselves? And how do those messages get in the way of our true potential?
In this episode of The Soul Garden, Georgina Langdale takes a look at Self Talk and how we can work with it as a force for good. She draws her inspiration from the 12th Century mystic, healer and abbess Hildegard of Bingen who wrote about a form of psychotherapy and prayer she described as ‘vices and virtues.’ Hildegard’s way of working with the idea of healing vices by focusing on virtues is powerful self-medicine and is as relevant for navigating the times we are in, as it was for her time over 800 years ago.
This talk is part of the Soul Medicine for the Midlife Woman group coaching programme which will be available again in 2025

This episode is slightly different to my normal approach to this podcast. It is part creative mash-up, part lament, part call to action. Earlier this year the area I live in was hit by tropical cyclone Gabrielle, and even in the few months since then it seems as if the whole world is burning or flooding. I started getting this riff going around in my head and so I made this song to try and capture my fear and my reimagined future, in this moment now.

Who's afraid of flying? Me! I used to love it, but now I am just seriously afraid. I have gone from intrepid explorer, to trembling coward. And I don't think I'm alone in this fear.So in this episode of the Soul Garden, I look that fear in the face and talk about how I have used the power of ceremony to overcome it, or at least bring down to something manageable! Given how many of us are afraid of flying, I thought it might be helpful to others to share the techniques I have used to deal with this phobia.Also mentioned is my upcoming course, Soul Medicine for the Midlife Woman.
