Talking in bed ought to be easiest,
Lying together there goes back so far,
An emblem of two people being honest.
Yet more and more time passes silently.
Outside, the wind’s incomplete unrest
Builds and disperses clouds about the sky,
And dark towns heap up on the horizon.
None of this cares for us. Nothing shows why
At this unique distance from isolation
It becomes still more difficult to find
Words at once true and kind,
Or not untrue and not unkind.
— Philip Larkin
Chloë Rain is a spiritual director and ceremonial guide whose work is rooted in the initiatory cycles of nature and the deep intelligence of living earth traditions. After more than a decade of apprenticeship within North and South American medicine lineages — and graduate research in the Arctic Circle exploring sacred landscape and Indigenous cosmology through a Master’s degree in Indigenous Studies — her work now continues from a small island in the Cyclades in the heart of the Aegean Sea.
She offers one-to-one spiritual direction and private retreats for those navigating profound change, life transitions, and soul alignment.
