With Baxter

Sounds simple, but profoundly true.

Camino. Day 1
Porto 👉🏽 Viana do Castel, vía bus, to skip a very urban couple of days (Highly recommended).

The lightest I’ve ever packed at around 5kg, was a great exercise in needs vs wants.
As I found out, I didn’t even need every single thing.

Loved the Portuguese iconography, their colours, their sweet little churches, and their food.

August is full of old traditions being celebrated with music, costume and connection.

Clarity shines 1000x brighter than the sun.

All we have to do is clear the noise long enough to reveal.

Even if only for a second.

There is profound relief in knowing that, for eight days, almost nothing will be required of you.

Your days are thoughtfully structured.
There are no devices, daily demands or decisions to make.

And as the external noise falls away, the internal noise begins to soften too.

You start to notice the thoughts that have been shaping your life—the old patterns, assumptions and narratives that usually run on auto-pilot.

In supported silence, there is space to question them. To retrain the mind. To change the story. To reconnect with the quieter wisdom beneath it all.

You don’t have to work harder to find clarity.

Sometimes, you simply need to become still enough to enjoy it.

When was the last time nothing required your attention?

No speaking.
No devices.
No work.
No decisions to make.
No daily demands.

Just enough space for the mind to calm—and for you to enjoy some clarity again.

This November, I’m leading an eight-day silent retreat at De-Tong Ling, a Tibetan Buddhist retreat centre surrounded by 1,300 acres of Kangaroo Island wilderness.

There will be gentle yoga, meditation, walking in nature, nourishing food, reflection—and five days held in silence.

Consider it a circuit breaker before the festive season.

A chance to decide what matters before another year begins deciding for you.

Probably the best decision you’ll make this year.
