About this listen

A wonderful conversation crossing miles and landscapes from the flat Fens of Eastern England to the valleys of Wales, yet finding a place of rest. Will shares his journey with poetry and three poems that mark milestones of his soul’s travels.

Will’s three poems are:

  • Swallowed by a vast sky
  • The darkness of memory
  • Your beauty

They can be found on his LinkTree page – The Will Johnson Journey - along with links to his work as a Courage Coach, Circle of Trust facilitator and his other writings.

We also talked about David Whyte’s poem ‘Start Close In’, from his book Essentials, Many Rivers Press, 2020. And Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms.

Thanks for listening.
