44 | Robyn Watt | The Weave of Life: Dying to Live, Living to Love



Being in close proximity to death really enlivens the life force within us.
— Robyn Watt

Here is an audio version.

A video version can be found below.


This is a tender and intimate conversation recorded in the wake of Robyn’s recent journey with cancer—an experience that drew her into profound reverence for her earthen form and the animate force that weaves through all of creation. She reflects on how close proximity to death sharpens the clarity and immediacy of life and love, inviting us to consider death not as an end but as a beginning: an ancient cycle where darkness nourishes the light, and where land, lineage, and story weave the spiralling tapestry of Life.

Drawing on Celtic wisdom, ancestral practices, and Earthly flows and forces, Robyn offers a spacious invitation to presence and simplicity, calling us to recognize where our hearts draw sustenance and to pour ourselves fully into what truly matters—reminding us that, though our time is uncertain, love and connection endure.
