The Bridge Podcast

There is so much pressure on the individual to manage our stress, nervous systems and challenges. In this episode, we explore how co-regulation, spending time with others in certain situations, is essential for our wellbeing. How can we take the pressure off ourselves and create spaces with others to live peaceful, engaging lives?

These days, Yoga is one of a few things that can be recommended as a panacea for our challenges.  But do we all need to do it?

If you are interested in working with either of u...

What is a Guru? Do we need one?  Are celebrities our modern day equivelant?  These are some the questions we ask in this episode, amidst discussing the difference between a person and something that acts as the function of a Guru.

In this episode, we speak with dear friend of the show Dr. Sherif Tawfilis.

Yoga is not only an incredibly popular practice in today's world, but it often comes with many associations.

Welcome back for Season 2!  In this episode, Irene and Ziggy discuss whether or not a personal, spiritual pursuit is selfish.  How we are in the world dictates our experience of it and to shift that,  sometimes it is necessary to move away from our day-to-day activities to have an opportunity to recalibrate.  But what does that mean for our friends and family, all of whom have...

Our desire to connect and find somewhere we belong goes further than simple pragmatism. It is a deep and fundamental evolutionary drive that effects everything that we do. Our new global community can give the illusion of interconnectivity, but can also lead us to feeling more isolated and alone than ever.

When each of us is entitled to an opinion and we often have this perspective reflected to us by our immediate circles and social media, why should we bother listening to a contrary belief?  It seems we have never been more separated when it comes to our beliefs and own individual truths, as well as a growing trend in justifying positions opposed to listening and learning.  In this episod...
