WELCOME TO
THE PLATFORM'S EDGE

A space for shared stories, wholehearted living

and quiet change.

Platform 13 is a creative and experiential initiative, taking shape in the beautiful countryside of South-West France.

It brings together two elements - the "Brave Seeds" Journal and our "Soulstice Immersions" -

two expressions of a shared philosophy about how we live, reflect, and reconnect.

Platform 13 is a living project, shaped by place and practice. On which stories take root, conversations unfold and modern life meets the slower art of living well.

Life on P13 moves between muddy boots and flagstone floors, from spade to spoon. It is grounded and imperfect, attentive to season, rhythm, and the quiet work of paying attention..

Our "Brave Seeds" Journal gives P13 its voice — reflective, curious, and honest.
"Soulstice Immersions" represent the core of our work — through shared time, place, and experience.

Together, they form a single ecosystem: mind, body, and spirit held in careful balance. Platform 13 is not a finished destination, but an evolving one.

Join us as the journey gently unfolds...

Stories, reflections and field notes from life in France.

Twice each month, we share mindful thoughts on our life, the Universe and everything. From the passage of time and how we show up for ourselves, to the curious roots of everyday behaviors. We celebrate all things edible and look a little more closely at the quiet details, that often go unnoticed.

"Brave Seeds" is where humour meets honesty, where the everyday becomes observation. It's a place to linger, read and reflect leaving you feeling a little more connected to the rich textures of life in France.

"Soulstice Immersions"

The Work of Platform 13

Soulstice Immersions are intentionally curated experiences designed to create space for deep reflection, authentic connection and meaningful transformation. Held at potent moments in the year, each immersion invites participants to pause, reconnect with themselves, and realign with what truly matters.

Blending personal development, embodied practices and courageous conversation, Soulstice Immersions offer a supportive and spacious environment where insight can emerge naturally. Participants are guided to slow down, listen inwardly and explore the beliefs, patterns and possibilities shaping how they live and lead.

These immersions are particularly powerful for those navigating transition, seeking greater authenticity, or longing to live and lead in closer alignment with their values. Through a balance of individual reflection and shared experience, participants cultivate self-trust, emotional courage and a deeper sense of belonging — both within themselves and with others.

Soulstice Immersions are not about fixing or striving, but about remembering, integrating and stepping forward with clarity. They offer a chance to reconnect with inner wisdom, strengthen meaningful relationships and return to daily life feeling grounded, resourced and inspired to create conscious, values-led change.

"Standing in the In-Between" - Soulstice

There is a moment most of us recognize, even if we don’t yet have words for it. It comes before the decision. Before the plan. Before the next chapter announces itself clearly enough to be named. It’s a life-affirming moment, where nothing is technically wrong, and yet something quietly asks for attention. It's a space that needs to be filled. Not with added responsibilities or new hobbies, but with gentle, wholehearted purpose. Soulstice Immersion, September 26 - October 10

February - The Return of "Want"...

Many of us tend to have a dim view of February. It really does seem to be the black sheep of our calendar. Short-changed on day numbers, an awkward ending to the cadence of that rhyme to remember - "30 days hath November" - it feels like the month that also ran - the racing term for runners and riders that were not really worth a real mention.But let's forgive the slightly gawky floundering of February. It was never a month designed to feel like such a fly in the hearty, w

The Spirit Level - The "beware" of self-aware...

I'm tired... Not from having stayed up late or not had enough sleep. Not that kind of surface-tired. A sort of "inner fatigue" that I am feeling on a deeper level. We recently said goodbye to some "interesting" house guests. We sort of knew they would be, and we both felt fore-warned. We seemed to start "managing oursleves" before they had even got out of the car... We felt prepared, adapted and nicely arranged. We had even pre-conceived that she was going to "be like she alw

What is Platform 13?

Platform 13 is a living project - we're building something in motion. Not just stories and reflections, but community.

Brave Seeds - the voice of Platform 13 - is where it all begins; a way to get to know each other better, to share dispatches from real life in France - food, culture, nature and the small traditions that shape our days.

Our Soulstice Immersions give Platform 13 it's beating heart. 2 week, residential experiences that create brave spaces for guests to gather, rest and rise renewed.

The gathering place comes next; a historic country estate, positioned for acquisition, to be reimagined as a place both cared for and lived in - a setting where field meets philosophy and everyday life becomes its own kind of art.

Together these form the whole of Platform 13 - an umbrella and a philosophy that unite the traditions that ground us and the ideas that move us forward; where each day, dialogue and discovery find their own rhythm.
