I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Every time I connect back to the courage of my heart, life rewards me. My energy grows, my inspiration deepens and my world gets bigger, bigger, bigger.  Wildly. The bigger it gets, somehow the smaller it gets. It gets big then the edges start to touch each other again. You fly somewhere you've never been before and meet kindred spirits that...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast The etymology of 'economy' comes from the ancient greek 'oikos' which is the word for home. Economy is the sharing of gifts from the home.  Let's reclaim the movement of trade as an exchange of gifts forged in the home, in small workshops, in the gifts of people's efforts. There's a radiant economy alive at all t...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Fear and doubt tend to make our experience and world smaller. We take less risks and play things safe and reasonable.  There's no way we can live a life fully expressed without falling on our faces, feeling consumed with doubt and fear, and wondering if we should just quit.  If we're playing it safe artistically or in any other area of l...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast 'To love anything, at any cost, is a bargain.' Wendell Berry Some recent reflections on my own confusion around spirituality and the artistic path. Because Art is not seen as a path in many circles, I didn't trust my own gifts when I was young, and in an unconscious attempt to overcomplicate my life and do something more meaningful,...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast For an Artist, our primary material is our inner world. From the material we engage with there, we blend our internal energy with the force of upward moving inspiration, connecting with material of expression...clay, dance, the voice, the body, rocks, gold, food, sound....the list is endless. If we are full of ideas about how we have to be, we&apo...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast I've been speaking recently with other artists about how we recognise when we need to improve, or how we know when we're stuck in a sort of numb comfort of our work. It's so difficult to assess our incompetence or the vibrancy of our own work, the illusive and non-existent objectivity of our work. Within that, there are some paramet...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast As an artist, our job is to pay attention to the imagery of our interior world, be it musical, kinaesthetic, poetic, based in painting, sculpture or anything at all. We live in a therapy culture that tells us everything we experience is some aspect of the self and can be analysed and understood through intellectual scrutiny stemming from Freudian...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast You know that feeling when you look at something, either literally or imaginatively, and as soon as you land on it you can see a thousand things flowering off of the main thing, then a thousand more flowering off of those fractal children ..? Sometimes we can be so inspired the we become all imaginative vision and no earth based implementation, no...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Tallulah Rendall is many things, a curious and explorative human being, blending her work as an artist with traditional Asian spiritual practices.  Why aren't we talking about how essential creative practice is in wellbeing? In 2010, Tallulah began her training in Qi Gong, sound therapy & creative facilitation leading to the creation of h...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast What is emotional health? How does it relate to the health of our tissues, our bodies, our hearts, and our entire lives, and of course, to our Artistic contributions? I watch social media trends and self help reaching a cruscendo, everyone wanting to be on tip top form, look our best, feel our best all the time, and worry about what this says for...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast When I consider the people I meet and know who seem to have a radiance of activity, participation, contribution and generosity, these people have an astonishingly clear set of characteristics in common.  It's so important to ask ourselves what we're doing with our attention, what  we're cultivating. We're in a culture saturated...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Today is Halloween, or All Hallow's eve, day of the dead in Mexico, which is well known. The Romans also celebrated this thinning of the veils as an opportunity to honour their ancestors, as well as make offerings to what we might now call ‘ghosts’, unrested spirits of dead souls who still try to communicate with the living.  Many people I kn...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Beauty lifts us. Pleasure lifts us. Though this lifting isn't an up and out of, it's a simultaneous deepening and embodying. A growth in all directions, and perhaps most importantly, a growth downwards into our being rooted in this life. To have the audacity in this day and age to be rooted in the unseen, and create from there, bringing...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast In this episode I sit with friend and teacher Nina Powell.  In Nina's words,  'A little-known phenomenon called post-traumatic growth explains what happens when we fully heal. We don't just reset to who we were before the trauma — we expand beyond that previous state. You don't just return to your former self. You become the ve...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Like the metabolising of food, the creative process has phases, energetic properties we can support and cultivate, allowing us to embody the challenges, boundaries and explorations that characterise each phase.  These are the stages I live through and by, and support people in recognising in their own experience so that we can genuinely move throu...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast If we don't value the person to person transmission of skills, held in the human nervous system, cellular memory, deepest of kinaesthetic intelligence, we will think it's ok to hand over everything to AI. This cannot be an option in a future where we become  more deeply resourced in our humanity, our dexterity, sensitivity and unique com...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Dr Roxanne partridge works and celebrates women in the waters that our culture seeks to deny, let alone venerate.   She says 'I’m here to show you how to alchemise psychic gold from the shit of your experiences, rapture found on the other side of rupture, and a Queen’s radiance sourced from depths of our encounters with all that seeks to dimi...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast I'm floored by what happens when we hold a space for another or ourselves in the ritual container of our attention, and nourish the most potent and alive aspects of ourselves.  Introducing a place I've been in for many years in conversations globally with women I know and love, VOICE NOTE ACTIVATIONS!! I've had it reflected to me ma...

I'd love to hear your thoughts in this podcast Dòri Varga is an interdisciplinary artist who is as deeply sensual as she is intelligent.
