<p>‘Revel’ is the recurring theme of this episode as writer Alice Vincent brings visceral, carnival-esque Glastonbury vibes to The Clearing this week.&nbsp;</p><br><p>A self-confessed extrovert, her dream retreat includes bundling up all the sounds and experiences of the people and places she loves; the chaotic joy of a house party, the blissful comfort of chatty gatherings with friends and family, the daily buzz of a busy household.</p><br><p>But after the noise comes the calm. That liminal space of watching the sun rise after being up all night with friends at a house party, morning dew on the grass, where your body glows with the memory of the night before and you savour the quiet stillness.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><br><p>A lovely, messy, joyful gathering of sound, happiness and the coming together of humans.&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong>Links from episode:</strong></p><br><p>Alice’s website where you can find her books including Hark <a href="https://www.alicevincent.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.alicevincent.co.uk/</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Alice’s Substack <a href="https://savour.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://savour.substack.com/</a>&nbsp;</p><p>Alice’s <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alicevincentwrites/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><br><p>Visit The Clearing website <a href="http://www.theclearingpod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.theclearingpod.com</a> for a full transcript, to discover how to enjoy our bonus episodes, our ad free episodes and if you subscribe, how to submit your own idea for a dream retreat</p><br><p>Buy Katherine’s books:<a href="https://katherine-may.co.uk/enchantment" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <em>Enchantment</em></a> |<a href="https://katherine-may.co.uk/wintering" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> <em>Wintering</em></a> | <em>The Electricity of Every Living Thing</em>:<a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/a/1124/9781409172512" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> UK</a> /<a href="https://bookshop.org/books/the-electricity-of-every-living-thing-a-woman-s-walk-in-the-wild-to-find-her-way-home/9781612199603" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> US</a></p><p>Follow Katherine on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/katherinemay_/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a></p><p>Visit Katherine’s<a href="https://katherine-may.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Website</a></p><br><p><strong>Production Credits</strong></p><br><p>Guest Booker and Admin Support - Meghan Hutchins</p><p>Substack Manager - Rebecca Armstrong</p><p>Producer - Alice Lloyd</p><p>Music - The Leaf Library @theleaflibrary</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
