  • End of Life - Transformation & Plant Medicine, tea with Michael Hebb
    Rach & Michael explore navigating end of life as we know it. When we traditionally talk about death, we talk about end of life, the end of the physical body. In this tea we widen the conversation to explore purpose, death phases through life, transitions, plant medicine & relationships. How do we let go, step into a new way of being, and how do we grieve our losses, old versions of ourselves and loved ones.

  • Hope & Trust - How a near death accident shaped my life with Celia Bull.

    Celia Bull shares her story, saving the life of Adventurer Paul Pritchard on the Totem Pole (see Cuppa 12), how that put her life on a new trajectory and the power of Trust. Rach and Celia explore being a mum, exploring life as a journey and the power of saying yes to synchronicities, to shape life and how it evolves.

    Celia is a Skipper, Climber, Crofter, Writer and Mother with an incredible story of journeying PTSD, following saving her climbing partner's life, to create a life beyond what she ever imagined. She is courageous, captivating, inspiring and real.

    Through the power of connection 40 for Tea opens conversations on what it is to be human in this new decade. In Cuppa 12, Paul Pritchard told the story of a near fatal accident on the Totem Pole in Tasmania. He talked of his spiritual awakening, and how it had changed his life for the better. At the end of every cuppa, I ask my guest, "who should I speak to next?" He said, "Celia Bull, the woman who saved my life." Here is Celia's story and so much more.

    The power of a cup of tea, to find common ground, be real and grow.

    Go grab a cuppa and let's explore feeling into being human together.
