Travel Essays from the Sage’s Journey

Starting in January 2026, we are embarking upon a 16-month journey through our Gene Keys Golden Paths … The Sage’s Journey with Richard Rudd. This page is where we will be sharing our reflections on this delicious inner journey.

And so I have begun the second stage of my Sage’s Golden Path Retreat. This is the beginning of a six-month long journey through the very heart of my Gene Keys chart. The Venus Sequence, or Venus Stream as it is also called (which I personally prefer, because it’s a very watery kind of journey … you are literally following the river of your emotions!), is the deepest part of the Gene Keys teachings. It is all about love! ...

A collage of 1e AI images of Dream Arc animals surrounding a fairytale castle. It has Meghan's words for 2026 - Simplicity, Presence and kindness
At the beginning of 2026 I thought it would be fun and interesting to work with one animal from each Dream Arc category for the whole year. I had done it with great success for my 40 day spiritual journey in late 2025. Why not I thought? But the energy has turned static and needs to change ...

An art journal spread with images of puffins with lots of quotes, including "begin again".
As I journey on the Sage's Golden Path Retreat this year, I am beginning what I hope will be a consistent offering called Playful Puffin Adventures. My playful adventure is to make an art journal page and an art journal process reel to uplift myself and others ...

In our offerings in Mining the Mysterious we want to bring more of the Divine Feminine energy into our lives and our contemplations.

We invite you to join us as we gather around our hearth, and talk about our journeys with the Gene Keys and our personal transformations.

By sharing our stories (via podcast/video), we will help other women, and by the laws of reciprocity, our own healing will increase, because we are all part of a synergistic whole.

2.8: Fractal Line Magic with Hayley Curtis
This was such an exciting Podcast for us to record. We’ve been doing these CWACOCs for just over a year now, and since the outset, we have been longing to have Hayley Curtis as a special guest. We just knew that our first conversation with Hayley had to be about Fractal Line Magic. Hayley is a genius on this subject of Fractals. She brought us together; she brings so many beautiful souls together ...

In this episode, instead of beginning with our usual question … “Where am I now?” … we realised that, as we near the end of this time around the Activation Sequence, and since this Purpose sphere we’ve been diving into for the last month has been HUGE for us both, we really needed to dedicate this entire episode to asking, “Where are we NOW?!!”, and to discussing what it’s like to be women with purpose ...

A photograph of the sun shining through trees in Marridge Woods, the most gorgeous woodland full of wild garlic and bluebells in April. I love to wind through the woods to the next little bay along the coast ... Churston Cove, one of my favourite places!!
I am working with my Radiance sphere right now, and I thought that this would be a really good time to do a Wizardly Words on Wednesdays post about “Light”. The Gene Keys are all about light. You will find references to light in every single Gene Key, in every single sphere. There is a Codon of Light. The whole point of the Gene Keys (if you can even use such a trite turn of phrase for something as huge and life changing as the Gene Keys are!) is to break open the light contained inside your DNA ...

A photograph of an open journal with my writing on my Life’s Work.
My beautiful friend, Meghan, did a fabulous Wizardly Words on Wednesdays post a couple of weeks ago, about “Up Levelling”. Yes, we know that “up levelling” isn’t a Gene Keys word, and you would be right in thinking that the main point of our Wizardly Words was to give you our take on, and our personal definitions of some of the words in the Gene Keys lexicon. In so many of the Gene Keys, as you listen to Richard Rudd’s audios, you will hear him say, in one way or another, “you do this through creativity”, or “you access this gift through creativity” ...

Bite-Sized Bravery

Welcome to our monthly feature that delights you with simple questions to ponder about your life. This feature has four layers and you can choose how many layers to dive into throughout the month:

  • the Bite-Sized part is simply the question
  • then some journaling/contemplation prompts
  • followed by links to supporting sources or quotes on the subject
  • and finally the super secret fourth layer where we reveal the Gene Keys behind the bite-sized bravery questions (for our Gene Keys geeks – you need a password for this!)

We are offering you a question today to set you up for the month to come with Bite-Sized invitations towards transformation. Acceptance is our theme for April. Accepting life exactly as it is means cultivating an impeccable internal attitude which is based in trust. Richard Rudd says that “Acceptance carries the seed of love.” Come and bask in a month of loving self-acceptance with us! ...
