This is Kali wanderings with words, worth, wellness and more…

I’m here to share my words with you in the hopes they will light you up in some way.

Sometimes those words will be a poem, a phrase or an exploration from the journal that lies beside my bed. Some days it might be an image that Mother Nature created that blew my mind into a collection of words I just had to express.

There will be many posts that express my explorations of humanness on this journey, especially in a body that speaks to me in ways I still don’t fully understand. I hope that as I explore my own healing journey, of body, mind and soul, that it may provide you with inspiration on your own journey of heart, body, mind and soul,

Why should I sign up?

If you would love some inspiration from a lover of nature, worshipper of the ocean, and avid believer in the power of words - expressed both internally and externally - this may be a space you enjoy tapping into.

I dream of this growing into a nourishing community where we learn more about each other and the little (and big) things that light us up, make us laugh, and move us through the spaces that sometimes feel too heavy alone.

Who am I?

I am Kali Bell, recent author of breaking open - a healing journey back home.

I grew up on far-flung farms in South Africa with wild geese as my swimming companions and baboons in the backyard. I currently live in New Zealand with my faithful furry companion, Millie, and our favorite place to be is the ocean. ​

Creativity has always been a form of healing for me. ​

I write to understand myself and this life more deeply. To untangle the threads and weave them into a tapestry that makes sense to me and can hopefully be a beacon of hope for others. ​

I was given a Crohn’s diagnosis when I was 21. This led me on a long and convoluted path of finding out more of who I was, how to become the guardian of my own body and how real, deep vulnerable connection and self-love were at the core of everything for me. ​

The poems and stories from my first book are an exploration of finding a home within ourselves amongst the sharp and painful pieces of existence, nature, laughter and the endless learning of loving and letting go. ​

When I’m not writing, I’m meditating, doing qigong, dancing, walking on the beach, surfing, connecting with friends, facilitating circles, dancing and supporting other women to find a deeper connection and love with themselves and others…and very often at the moment moving slowly as I listen to my body and her needs. ​

My ponderings on nature, my writing, wellness (I was given a Crohn's diagnosis when I was 21, which I chose to treat a little differently) and of course the ocean.
