Embark on a journey with the enigmatic James McMillan, where we sweat under the Mullumbimby sun, surrounded by the verdure of sprawling cow pastures, and discuss the vibrant world of art, and surfing. James, an artist, author, and the mastermind behind the thriving Byron Bay Surf Festival, delves into life since our last exchange back in 2021 - which I will add - was the most listened to episode of that year.
We traverse the realms of high vibrations and well-being, riding the waves of serenity, meditation, and the holistic embrace of a good meal—this episode is all about the practices that enrich our souls.

As we wind through James's studio, we uncover the emotional spectrum of a surfer-artist's life, where creativity surges like the tide. From the restorative power of community in an artists' hub to the intersection of cultural modalities and alternative lifestyles, we're painting a picture of a life far from mundane. Share our reflections on the transformative influence of nature, the art of forgiveness, and the intricate process behind each brushstroke. James's wisdom on embracing diverse cultural practices, the challenges of gentrification, and the future's embrace of unconventional living will leave you contemplating the canvas of your own life.

Wrap up your listening experience by tuning into our celebration of the artistic spirit. James McMillan, in his element among his fellow craftsmen, offers a glimpse into a close-knit community where ideas flow as freely as paint on canvas. From stories that resonate beyond the art itself to the vibrant synergy of passions, this episode is a kaleidoscope of inspiration that beckons you to question the very definition of 'normal.' Join us for a conversation that's not just about observing life, but actively shaping it with colour, energy, and a few tantric breathes in between.
Enjoy,
Shan
