Jo is joined by musician Sam McLoughlin who, as a young man aged 17 or 18 experienced an enchantment in a local woodland in Lancashire.
He and a friend heard what sounded like children’s voices coming from the river. They experienced orbs and a sense of strange shift in reality, commonly known as the Oz Factor, a term coined by Jenny Randles.

Recommendations for Wellbeing:
Insight Timer is a free app. I use different meditations day and night but this is a great bedtime one:

Yoga really helps. Her 15 min bedtime ones are great.
