I’ve entered 2026 with feeling of gratitude, and often we forget our practice when things feel good. So taking a moment of breath and song meditation this morning to sing and reflect. Would you like to join me?

Ending this year tired.
Like last year. And the year before.
But this time, I’m not on my knees.
I’m .
Real change isn’t easy—especially in communities.
It takes time, trust, resources, and sustained commitment.
I’m hearing more organisations talk about “doing with, not to”, collaboration, and community power. That matters.
What matters more is seeing those words resourced—with time and sustainable funding. Without that, even good language becomes tokenistic.
Action behind the words is what creates change.
And action takes people, perseverance, and collective power.
This year, Peterborough Citizens UK ended on a high 💪🏽
✨ Zero homeless children placed in hotels & B&Bs
✨ Schools notified when a child is homeless—so children aren’t punished for circumstances beyond their control
✨ That principle won nationally as a legal duty
✨ The Tiger Pass saved, through collective local leadership
This is what happens when values are backed by action.
When people are put first.
We’re tired—but we’re standing, together.
Now we rest. Find joy.
Wishing you a peaceful festive season and a powerful 2026. 🌟

Good evening, loves 🌙
An important seasonal update from Sarun…
Summer has been full — abundantly, wildly, beautifully busy.
Now, as the air cools and the light softens, I feel autumn calling me deep into my bones.
This is the season to go inward, to consolidate, to listen.
At Sarun, we’re answering that call — taking time to nourish our vision, deepen our offerings, and tend to the long roots of what’s growing here.
Just as the soil works quietly in her darkness to prepare for spring’s bloom,
we too are working beneath the surface — dreaming, refining, preparing.
It feels so beautiful to move with the rhythm of the seasons,
to feel her working through me, reminding me that rest is sacred too.
✨ While I’ll be pausing frequent circles for now,
I’ll still be offering “pop-up” gatherings through the winter —
moments of warmth, music, and connection to carry us through the darker months.
Keep an eye here — the magic will appear when you least expect it. 🍂
With love,

“No Silly Homes” 🏠✨
Loved this quote from one of our young leaders today at the National Citizens UK Housing Action — a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.
Working to create systemic change in housing is no easy feat. But through broad-based community organising, we learn to slice BIG problems into winnable pieces of change — and that gives us hope.
One of our National leaders shared how their campaign secured £11 million in homelessness funding — specifically targeting the five basic needs in temporary accommodation. That’s people power in action. 💪
This week in Peterborough, our team has been planning, strategising, and building power for two key local housing campaigns:
1️⃣ Creating a notification system with Peterborough City Council so that schools are informed when children become homeless — ensuring early support and stability.
2️⃣ Securing funding in the new warm homes plan to tackle damp and mould — because every family deserves a safe, healthy home.
A big shoutout to Gemma Birley from PECT who co-chaired today’s national campaign meeting in Parliament with diligence and heart — and to our Andrew Pakes and Sam Carling MP MPs who pledged to:
• Engage with Minister Martin McCluskey (Housing)
• Work with local housing associations to identify and repair key issues
“No Silly Homes” — a powerful phrase from a young voice that captures the truth we’re all fighting for: every home should be a place of safety, dignity, and hope. 💚

Happy Equinox 🌍✨
(Balance of darkness and Light)
At a time when we may feel far from balance, Mother Earth and the universe remind us that balance is always present — it is only our minds, and the state of the human world, that are unsettled.
May we find balance within ourselves.
May those weighed down by fear discover balance within, so that together we can live in harmony with Gaia — as we are meant to.

🚨 Culture Wars Are a Distraction
Everywhere I look, the conversation is dominated by race and small boats. The right weaponises it. The left reacts to it. Both sides fall into the same culture-war trap.
Meanwhile, the real issue — wealth inequality — barely gets a mention.
Headlines scream about race and small boats.
The right weaponises it. The left reacts to it.
Both sides get trapped.
Meanwhile, the real issue — wealth inequality — barely makes the news.
📊 The Numbers That Matter
• Top 1% of UK households own £2.8 trillion — more than the poorest 70% combined.
• They hold 10% of all household wealth.
• Govt spends £2bn a year housing small-boat asylum seekers (≈ £8m a day).
That’s a 1,000-to-1 gap. Yet we’re told migrants are the problem.
🏠 What It Means for Us
• Wages stagnate while shareholder dividends soar.
• Housing costs rocket while families struggle.
• Public services collapse while tax loopholes stay wide open.
Inequality — not migration — is what’s crushing working people.
💰 Who Gains From the Distraction?
Reform UK is backed by billionaires:
• Nick Candy (property tycoon)
• Christopher Harborne (£10m to Brexit Party)
• Fiona Cottrell (£500k in 2024)
• Zia Yusuf (Reform Chair)
• Even Elon Musk (Guardian, 2024)
They fuel culture wars to protect their wealth. And too many of us take the bait.
🌱 What We Should Demand Instead
• Fair tax for the wealthiest
• Affordable housing reform
• Wage growth + secure jobs
• Investment in public services
The real problem isn’t migrants. It’s inequality.
✨ Hope
Research shows real change only takes 3.5% of people organising together. A small, united movement can shift the system.
