In this episode, Sam Bell speaks with Iris Ray Nunn about deep listening, attunement to nature, and remembering what we already know.

Iris's background spans social entrepreneurship, clinical aromatherapy and body-work, activism, growing businesses and more recently regularly guiding at Uluru, one of the sacred sites at the centre of Australia. 

This is a bold, welcoming and spacious conversation about sensing, slowing down, and reconnecting with the intelligence that exists within. She guides us through deep listening practices, nature-based awareness, and relational presence.

This episode explores
• Deep listening as a way of knowing
• Nature as an intelligent collaborator, when we tune in
• Sensory awareness and embodied perception in nature
• Intuition and the unique, inner signal
• Creating space for emerging insight
