Art, voice, and story to re-enchant our world
Art, voice, and story to re-enchant our world
Cultural Regeneration, Bridging & belonging
The Bard Rising
We are living in times of noise, fracture, and forgetting.
And yet, a new cultural pulse is beginning - one carried not by algorithms or headlines, but by the Bards; Artists and Storytellers.
A Bard is a truth-teller, a weaver of story, a keeper of memory. A Bard offers song and poetry to sing us back to ourselves when the world feels scattered.
Through song, art, poetry, and ritual, the Bard re-enchants the ordinary and reminds us that beauty and meaning are not luxuries - they are the foundations of human thriving.
This is the work I am devoted to:
✨ Creating art that heals, ignites, and remembers.
✨ Using voice, music, and story as medicine.
✨ Bringing Bards together to seed new culture.
Because the struggles we face in our modern day - disconnection, burnout, division - cannot be solved by strategy alone. They ask for soul. They ask for imagination. They ask for us to gather in beauty and courage, to reweave the threads of belonging.
The Bard is rising in our time, not as a relic of the past, but as a necessary guide for the future.
And I am here, as one of many, answering that call.
Learning and growing as I go
I'm Emily Doe, many friends over the years have called me 'free spirit'. It's no joke and I'm finally owning it! I'm a professional Free Spirit.
I'm also a mother, daughter, grand daughter, sister, lover, loyal friend, divorcee, author, singer, songwriter, drummer, artist, dancer, reveller, tree hugger, intimate confidante, coach, somatic therapist, movement educator, meditation guide, good girl, party girl, hermit, daredevil, Cancer sun and moon, Aquarius rising, Manifesting Generator. When I was at school though, I now look back and realise I was asked to squash myself and make choices which stifled my creativity.
Over time, parts of ourselves get buried deep out of fear of rejection or in my case, because I didn't trust I could be accepted in my truest, most glorious nature. Over the past 4 years I have been on a quest of self discovery and reclaiming of the parts of myself that I locked away in order to conform, to my own distorted perception of success. I found out about the Saturn Return (Astrological Event) and it blew my mind. It first happens around the age of 27-30 when life suddenly seemed to get super serious (for me anyway). I now understand why it is so important that we learn to embrace our authentic unique brilliance and celebrate our differences before we get to we start to get so serious in life, so that we may more easily and confidently bring our gifts with us into adulthood and shine bright without fear of rejection. This I believe will help to create a wiser and more loving world for future generations. My intention is to fully embrace my magic and share the wisdom from my journey with the intention to EmPower you to celebrate your uniqueness. Bring forth the highest expression of creativity, courage and compassion, so that you may then gift it to the world!
Dandelion Stories - The Podcast
The spoken word is so powerful. And when we find our natural authentic voice and the confidence to show up to be seen and heard, magic happens!
When I was 9 years old I borrowed my Dad's dictaphone, I was obsessed. I set to work interviewing and recording anyone who would talk to me. One day my Dad told me about a ghost story at the fire station where he worked. I was so captivated and intrigued by his tale and whether it could be true? "Well," he said, "Just ask the firemen down at the station" So I did! My Dad arranged a visit so that I could interview and record all the stories of those men who claimed to have witnessed the cloaked and hooded monk-like figure haunting the corridors of the station, who at night roamed the ancient monastery ruins (upon which the station was built). My Dad passed away suddenly when I was 27 years old, I chose to launch the Dandelion Stories podcast almost 17 years later on the 3rd June 2024 - which would have been my Dad's 70th birthday. I am now also the co-foundHER of The Power of US a collaborative venture with Natalie Farrell to celebrate sound, story and connection. The Power of US gives a loving and supportive space to light workers, change makers, chain breakers, visionaries, soulpreneurs and artists to speak their truth and share their amaSING story proudly with the world.
My Dandelion Story
Writing the book has been such a healing experience. It has provided me the dedicated space and time to ‘do the inner work’ and to process trauma, make sense of it and then formulate new beliefs about myself which are more empowering. It has helped me to grow into the most magnetic and magical version of myself I’ve ever been. I can feel my heart resonance growing stronger and more confident each day and my love for myself and those around me is amplified continuously.
My Dandelion Story gives an insight into my younger days and living with a parent with undiagnosed neurodivergence - it just wasn't really a thing back then! It totally shaped my life in so many ways, good, bad and numbed out. I realise now that I built a wall up around my heart from fear. Fear of not being loved by anybody. Deep down I didn’t want to get hurt and I was scared that I was waiting to go insane, just like my Dad! But he wasn't insane. He was hugely misunderstood and traumatised himself.
After he passed away, I stopped singing and that’s significant.
In 2023 I decided to invite in my joy, and I allowed myself to sing again, I started to sense my heart. The wall was melting away and I realised how much I am loved, just the way I am.
Since hearing the call from The Dandelions, I now help others reignite their own magic and follow their own heart's desires. Together we confidently express our truest selves.
