    For more information on the workshop, including tickets, follow this link - https://www.rachelsermanni.com/workshopSo this, I think, is a really interesting rule:‘Be Self-Disciplined. This means finding someone wise or smart & choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self disciplined is to follow in a better way.’I choose to go a little off-piste / off-road / off-topic (?) with this one; I interpret this rule in my own way as, in truth, I don’t know wha...

I look at what ‘Experimenting’ looks like for creat...

    Episode Three - Practicing Compassion for Neighbours & Those we are Closest to

    This episode of Rachel Sermanni’s Finger that Points to the Moon is the recorded practice of a visualisation meditation meant to aid any open-minded listener to having a little bit extra of compassion and generosity for the near and dear who, so often, bear the brunt of our other, less gracious qualities. Better to be late and authentic than on time and untrue. It took me a while to get to recording this podcast and practice because I had to get there myself first. I needed to feel the concep...

In this podcast Rachel Sermanni will explore her relationship to creativity and inspiration, with the hope that it will help point in the direction of truth for herself and those listening. In her own words "I hop...
