Summerlands
The Journey So Far
Book Three – explores how moments of transition can open unexpected pathways into meaning, memory, and change.
When the world you have painstakingly rebuilt begins to fall apart, where do you turn?
In Summerlands, the powerful final instalment of the Two White Feathers trilogy, Jenny Chapman enters her most demanding and transformative passage. Following multiple family deaths that fracture the foundations of her life, the spiritual path that once offered meaning becomes a deeper confrontation with grief, memory, and identity.
Drawn to the sacred landscape of the Glastonbury Zodiac, Jenny undertakes a pilgrimage across the Somerset Levels—beginning at the Girt Dog of Langport and moving through vast astrological forms believed by some to be inscribed into the land, culminating at Burrow Mump.
As she walks the landscape, she also moves through the terrain of her own psyche.
Seeking to understand both the mythology of King Arthur’s Round Table and the hidden architecture of her inner world, Jenny descends into an underworld of memory, confronting long-buried sorrow and unresolved trauma. Guided by an enigmatic storyteller and shadowed by figures drawn from myth and imagination, she faces a fundamental choice: fragmentation or integration.
Blending memoir, mythology and landscape, Summerlands becomes an exploration of how identity is dismantled—and reformed—in the aftermath of profound loss.
Within the Embodied Coherence Project, this stage inhabits threshold spaces: between past and present, loss and renewal, inner life and the wider landscape.
