Join Colm Holland and me for this discussion of his book, The Secret of the Alchemist. Colm was one of the first people to read the English translation of The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho when he was part of the international marketing team at Harper Collins in 1993. This little book landed on his desk and the rest is history.
It changed his life, and the chain of events since then has changed many others'. I have learnt a lot from Colm over the years and look forward to hosting him to share his wisdom and the lessons that have come since then.

May has been an interesting one. Our theme in the Wisdom Seekers Society was Creativity and looking back I realise that although the flow was a bit off kilter, it was very present.
I created, explored and experienced overwhelm all at the same time.
I got to explore the myth of the South African Lightning Bird which I only recently came across and I got to have some enriching dialogues…

Check out my newest fascination and the beginnings of the Wisdom Parhways Archetypes and explore what might be your leading archetype at the moment.

The 1st of May is never just one thing.

It is Beltane fire.
It is Maia’s quiet growth.
It is May Day celebration.
It is maypole weaving.
It is collective movement, labour, and life.

Different names. Different cultures.
One shared threshold.

A moment where life turns outward. Where creativity rises. Where connection becomes easier to feel.

Not something we define.
Something we step into.

There is something about the 1st of May that never quite fits into one definition.

Some call it Beltane. Some call it May Day. Some recognise it through Maia, the goddess of growth. Others meet it through labour traditions, seasonal festivals, or cultural celebrations around the world.

And yet, underneath all of these expressions, something consistent remains.

May is a threshold.

A moment in the year where life begins to move differently—more outward, more expressive, more connected.

In Beltane, fire becomes celebration and initiation. In Maia, we meet the quiet intelligence of growth. In May Day traditions, communities gather to mark the turning of the season. In maypole dancing, we see creativity woven through collective movement. And in International Workers’ Day, we recognise the power of shared creation and contribution.

Even in places like Japan’s Golden Week, there is a shared pause—a softening of pace that allows life to be noticed again.

This is not just cultural tradition. It is something more universal.

A reminder that life is always moving from potential into expression.
