This month's Blessings For The Animal Kin is tomorrow at 7.30pm. This is a free monthly event that I facilitate, opening a space to extend our love and gratitude for the animal kind. The opportunity to add the name(s) of animal(s) will close 90 minutes before the ceremony, at 6pm.

You can add your own companion animals, shelter animals, farm animals, zoo animals, circus animals, wild animals, those who have passed over the Rainbow Bridge or all and any animals of the world.

There may be communications from companion animals, and should these arise , if you would like to receive these please do tick this option when adding the name(s) of the animals you would like to add. I can't take requests for these insights at these events but they will be shared with you if they come through.

PLEASE NOTE: Participants have let me know that VOLVA emails are being directed into spam folders by some email providers - please mark emails from VOLVA as safe to ensure you receive any messages.

I work with a huge variety of animals so there is no animal too big or small, domestic or wild, to add.

Good morning!
Things have changed rather dramatically at VOLVA HQ and there's a new routine. It's been tricky finding the time to post here, including my Monday morning greeting - my apologies, but I can't guarantee it won't happen again! Here's some lovely Elderflower from the medicine garden as a peace offering.

Have a wonderful week!
Andrea 💗🌿

I'm just going to say this.
My dad is dead. Lots of people's dads are dead. I miss my dad but I was lucky to have him. Some folks don't know their dads or their dads are horrible gits. But can we please stop this 'Father's Day is also about being sensitive to those who have complex relationships/absent dads/crap dads/dads who are no longer here' stuff?

Can we not bring this into the ONE day for CELEBRATING the dads who ARE here, who are actually present, who are actually great?
Others sorrow or difficulty is not for you to consider on a day to celebrate your dad. Love them, gift them, hug them, slag them off for their bad (but good) gags and keep 'em on their toes. 😉 Take joy in your dad!

Happy Father's Day 💗

Hello there! It's been a few days since my last post - my apologies that I missed my usual Monday opener post for the week. This, as well as , are the two posts I try to make sure I do every week without fail. But sometimes there is fail.

There's been a big shift at VOLVA HQ, bringing positive changes, but everything is now different. Some things have to go to make room for other things. I'll be sharing a bit more about this in the Summer Solstice newsletter in a few days.

Here's one of my Alliums bursting forth.

A wee night time herbal beverage from the medicine garden (naturally) before turning in. Night night.
