On this episode Tatjana Lucia is joined by Anya Lily – a retreat facilitator, herbalist, and steward of land-based healing. Anya is the founder of Meadowsweet Retreat, a sanctuary-turned-collective that began in the wilds of Tuscany and now creates rewilding experiences around the world. Her work invites people into deeper relationship with the Earth through ritual, foraging, permaculture, and community. Together, we explore the radical act of slowing down, the healing power of community, and what it means to belong to the land in a world that often teaches us disconnection. This is a conversation about activism through earth intimacy, motherhood as transformation, and the deep remembering that happens when we gather in circle, in nature, and in presence.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Anya Lily’s journey from herbalist roots to retreat facilitator
- What rewilding, foraging, and herbalism have to do with resistance
- The ripple effect of embodied, land-based healing beyond the retreat space
- How community retreats create space for collective grief, joy, and transformation
- The profound shifts motherhood brings to one's relationship with time, place, and purpose
- What it means to be “naturalised to a place” and how land teaches us about belonging
- Raising a child in connection with wildness, ritual, and Earth-based values

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
