Ended
Embarking on a life-altering journey through the green fields of an extrardinary festival, a young songwriter changes the course of her life for good when she is faced with the truth of herself and the possibilities of the question: What would my life look like if it was guided by love?
Medicine Song is an invitation to dance in the Water, Fire, Air and Earth of this reality and to wake up to the true magic and mystery at the centre of every one of us and the power of the human heart to heal and create real change
"Medicine Song is a captivating read, a spiritual odyssey with soul lessons a-plenty, and characters who will stay with you long after you've finished reading. A big warm hug of a book that will change you for the better."
Lucy H Pearce, #1 Amazon bestselling author of 'Moon Time', 'Burning Woman' and 'The Rainbow Way'
“Fantastic, a kind of journey and instructional and very much an
uplifting and inspiring story. All in all, a wonderful, magical book,
and so in tune with what so many people are going through at this time.”
Johnny Fincham, Chirologist and Author of 'The Spellbinding Power of Palmistry'
“I just could not stop reading...there were so many synchronicities, parallels with my own life journey... it felt so close and familiar... and also opened my heart to new things I have not yet experienced. I could see myself, my spiritual teachers and friends in different characters of the book... It brought back memories and feelings from various spiritual and conscious gatherings, Sound Baths, healing modalities that I have been doing and revived beautiful memories from my time in Glastonbury earlier this year. It is wonderfully written, is flowing and is very enjoyable to read. I loved how you incorporated spiritual teachings and practises in the book. And it felt like a true
life story.”
Alina Mihailova, Science Technician at UEA
“Medicine Song was like a gentle cleanse of sweet summer wind! I loved this book, great characters, exciting story that supports
personal development and connection with the earth, energy and truth as it unfolds. It was both light and deep, sharing an innocence that is real, hopeful and creative. The characters have stayed with me like Steinbeck characters did. I can't wait for the next book. The only good thing about finishing it is I can get some earlier nights again! The book is ideal for young women,
older women, musicians, performers, teenagers and anyone seeking more. I have already recomended it to lots of people and want to buy it for many others!”
Vanya Green, Indigo Brave Theatre
“Stunning. A swirling, whirling, feast of a book. A story spun with
truth and love, with wisdom and insight. It is magical and yet down to earth. It opened me up with joy and it brought me to tears. I didn't want it to end.”
Sarah Price, Artist and Yoga Teacher
“It's amazingly good! It really flows and creates the presence in
the moment as you read it. It's actually a page turner and I've stayed up too late because I've been enjoying it very much. It's also transformative as you read it. An amazing acheivement!!”
Rosie Toll, Musician and Suzuki Violin Teacher

Celeste Lovick is a Canadian singer-songwriter, guitarist, author, energy worker and home educating mother now residing in the UK. She received her BA Writing Degree from Dartington College of Arts in 2010.
Medicine Song is Celeste's first novel, and brings together all that she loves and all that has been transformative in her life into one story. Though the main character is fictonal, in many ways Anna's journey over the five days of Glastonbury Festival reflects Celeste's own journey over the past twenty years.
Like Anna, Celeste began her musical performance career from a place of seeking validation from the world - of believing that if she could achieve success outwardly, it would feed a sense of self-worth inside. It never really worked because her deepest self was guiding her towards another way which she would begin to discover when she was attuned to reiki in 2001, From this point on, everything changed. She discovered the energetic nature of reality and what it means to be truly present. These were only the first glimpses, but it guided Celeste onto a deeper journey where she discovered that to give love through performance is the most fulfilling experience of all. For when you give, it flows back to you and ultimately you discover that you and that which you love are not separate from one another.
Along the way, Celeste discovered the power of the heart, and how when you give heart energy to all that you do, things transform around you. She began to realise that her purpose in life was not about receiving validation from others, but about the joyful experience of giving love in each moment, of being fully present and connecting with the world. From this, Celeste discovered a passion to make a positive difference in the world, and learned how if we want to change the world, it begins within us, because we are part of the world, and our energetic vibration ripples out and affects the world around us. And ultimately,that world outside of us is not separate from that which is within.
Medicine Song was borne of an impulse to share these discoveries with others. Through the four year process of writing Medicine Song Celeste's journey expanded, for her characters taught her more about this process of awakening and of being love in performance and in life. Medicine Song is not just a fictional story; it shares practical techniques Celeste has discovered for centering and balancing oneself, for returning to a state of presence and enabling one to give love in anything that they do. It explores ideas of Buddhism, yoga, meditation, energy healing, Tantra and enlightenment and it set to the musical soundtrack of some of the musicians who have most inspired Celeste on her own musical journey.
Celeste has released several self-produced albums and has had her lyrics featured in the Earth Pathways Diary.
And if you attend Glastonbury Festival, you may well see her performing somewhere in the Green Fields.
