Too often terms and conditions are tucked away, hard to find and even harder to read and make sense of. Terrain is about doing things differently with values like
- Radical generosity
- Deep attention
- Transformative creativity
If you are sinply here to read and browse, you are welcome and I hope you find value and inspriation. This site has many free resources in both the blogs and the downloadable courses here. I don’t collect data from site visitors beyond functional cookies that expire quickly or names and emails of those who leave comments, but would love you to sign up for the newsletter if you would like to receive occassional newsletters about courses or events or keep in touch.
A note on herbal posts
The writing on this site is shared for information and education, and is not a substitute for medical advice.
If you’re working with a specific health issue, it’s always best to seek guidance from a qualified practitioner.
Similarly, if you have specific health conditions or are pregnant or breastfeeding, always seek qualified advice on taking herbs.
Herbs can be powerful as well as gentle. We each have our own terrain — our own patterns, sensitivities, and needs — and what suits one person may not suit another. Some herbs may also interact with medications or be inappropriate in certain situations.
Kith
If you work with me directly in one of the the Kith community or mentoring tracks, the commitment is for the year. Once the year gets close to starting, the places can’t be filled by someone else as these are closed groups, so do try to ensure you can keep the commitment, most importantly to yourself, but also to the agreement we’ve mutually made. I do understand that life can get in the way and will try to be as flexible as possible about spreading the timing or moving work to another time where there are emergencies, but bear in mind that the offer to spread the cost isn’t an offer to drop out and end the payments; it’s there to help as many people as possible to participate.
I’m confident that participants will get ongoing and substantial benefits from the courses and from the community and mentoring options, but mentoring in particular means you are opening yourself and your work to feedback. This will always be given with care and constructively; the aim is to encourage you to push your boundaries with positive goals in sight, based on the direction you want to go in. This can feel vulnerable but it will always be in a context of support and safety.
The resources shared during the process of workshops for both mentoring and the community take a lot of time to develop and I’m delighted with the consistently excellent feedback on these. The videos will be viewable throughout the year and all the PDFs are yours to download and keep. Please do not share these further. In terms of videos, other mentees or community members agree to the videos being recorded so that anyone who misses a session or wants to revisit it can do so and in the expectation that this is a closed and confidential group. In terms of PDFs, the community and mentoring workshops are how I make a living and are for those who are signed up. The website has lots of free material for anyone wanting to try out a course or see if my writing resonates.
I guarantee that I take your commitment to your writing and your creative practice as seriously as you, and am always thrilled to work with writers.

Alchemical Gatherings
Alchemical Gatherings began on my Substack for paid subscribers, but has moved here and to Mighty Networks to establish a quieter, calmer space for the workshops and monthly Calmly by Candlelight writing gatherings.
There is a small subscription, either monthly or annual, which helps towards costs of this website and the Mighty Networks’ forum and Zoom facility. You can cancel either at any point, but the subscription will run to the end of the period and, as this involves digital access and downloads, there are no refunds. (If you have already subscribed on Substack, these subscriptions will be honoured).
Terrain
This is a bespoke accompaniment to help you look at your creative work, wellness (defined by the real body you inhabit), the rhythm and rituals of your life and how you craft your life in challenging times. We will devise a map for the work together and agree on pricing and timing.
This is deep work and we can always slow down and factor in breaks along the way within the context of this agreement. As with Kith mentoring I hold very few of these spaces and they can’t be refilled quickly. An offer to spread the cost isn’t an offer to drop out and end the payments, but is there to help as many people as possible to access this service.
This is work of transformation and requires trust and care and I will always take that seriously. You can explore Terrain here and get in touch with me about this work at jan@terrain.estate
