Hello Carousellers,
A new dawn, a new day and all that.
After a good night’s sleep and a blustery swim I’m back for part 2 of this week’s Carousel - my recommendations, latest creations and events coming up.
If you’re new to the concept of Carousel, here is a handy blog that can talk you through the different stages of the Carousel.
Btw, for some reason I’m not receiving any replies through Substack at the moment, so please email me directly at sarah@sarahweiler.com - thanks!
LISTEN
🎧 Series 2 of my podcast Knowing When To Quit is now complete! The finale episode is with my wise friend Rob Grundel, who shares his experience of leaving everything in London behind after 12 years (communities, business, friendships, projects) as he returns to live in Australia. He also talks about how he’s recently quit the Church he’s been part of for most of his life. A fascinating listen, which asks the question of who we are without all the people, places and things that make up our identity.
🎧 The latest Big Boogaloo Breakfast with Sarah and Jenn is now available to listen to here. And we will be back on air this Friday 31st March 8-10am. Tune in at www.boogalooradio.com

Do you want to keep learning as an adult, and want to do that with others? Two wonderful people in my life are hosting ‘Huddles’ this year - a peer to peer learning experience over 6 months, which helps you answer lifes big questions together.
You can have a browse of the huddles here. Some are based in a specific location (eg. Exeter), some a theme or demographic (eg. parents). I’ve been told they regularly change lives!
Above is a picture of ‘Singing to the Lovely Dead’ at the weekend - an event hosted by Christina Watson to raise money for the bursary places on her huddle ‘Death x Life’.
With much love and gentleness on this windy Wednesday,
Sarah x
