In this unscripted solo “solstice journal,” I reflect on the New Moon and the December Solstice as a practical gateway: a moment to shed old skin, reclaim attention, and choose your own timeline in a noisy world. I share thoughts on spiritual practice, minimalist living, unplugging from the attention economy and staying grounded while the collective feels intense. The episode also includes an update on Fauun Books and my love of old spiritual texts, including upcoming titles like The Blue Island and The Astral Plane. (visit www.fauun.com)
What’s mentioned
• Sagittarius New Moon + Solstice (summer in Australia / winter in the North)
• Choosing your “timeline” and guarding attention (“thoughts are things”)
• Minimalism, decluttering, investing in experiences over things
• Consumerism and Christmas (solstice vs capitalism)
• Digital sovereignty: email privacy, dumb phone, reducing social media scrolling
• Fauun Books (public-domain spiritual texts redesigned for modern reading): The Blue Island by W.T. Stead (afterlife/spiritualism) and The Astral Plane by C.W. Leadbeater (Theosophy/astral realm)
