About ‘Love, Satya’
How can we live well in this complicated world?
Who is ‘Love, Satya’ for? Anyone who wants to get closer to life-as-it-is. Anyone who wants to know things. Anyone who wants to feel things, but with gentleness. Anyone who is in need of balm for their suffering. Anyone who could be kinder to themselves. Anyone who wants to magnify their joys. Anyone who loves words as much as me.
Why am I here? Because I have received amazing things and I want to share them with you. Because writing helps me to untangle my tangles and to remember my blessings. Because I want to get to know you.
What will you hear about? Stories from inside me and outside me which will sometimes make you nod violently. The magic of Internal Family Systems. Paying attention. Simple living. Spirituality. Speaking up. Radical honesty. Two little dogs…
Who am I?
My name is Satya (she/her) and I live in Malvern, the UK, with my spouse Kaspa (they/them). I’ve written a dozen books, I co-founded and ran a Buddhist temple for a decade, I have a (usually full) psychotherapy practice, and I’ve been involved in big eco-activism projects. I’ve been busy!
I have been blessed with decades of support from books, nature, teachers, therapy, spiritual wisdom, 12 steps, and Internal Family Systems theory. I still get stuff done, but these days my striving parts are more chilled. These days I dwell more and more reliably in ease.
I’m terminally curious about myself and about the world, and writing is one of the places where I find new things out. I’m hoping you’ll find things out alongside me.

“Your writing is like a big hug. With extra sparkles.” Sophie Nicholls from Dear Writing
“I think your gift, Satya, is not so much to make other people happy, as to give them enough comfort to be themselves. That is both wildly fierce and profoundly gentle. As are you.” Lizzie from Softly Falls the Light
