Communicate - Podcast

We are starting to hear phrases such as "Urban Farming" & Microgreens.

Zen Fong & John Mckenna listen to John Maher about his journey as an Urban Farmer in Melbourne, Australia.

When we hear the word farming we think it involves lots of hard work, farm equipment and land.

Actually no. It can all happen in your bathroom, whilst watching it grow in only two weeks and then it's time to eat this extremely healthy food.

To learn more about John's knowledge in the area of Urban Farming, go to his FaceBook page called "Torthorwald Village Gardens"

James explains to us the many factors and philosophy behind the concept of growing organic food. He shared his story, knowledge and skills for sustainable food production.

James has a growing variety of ethically sourced regenerative inputs and commercial micro-farming ideas.

Listen to the reasons why you must taste the difference of flavor with organic wine.

We speak with Phil Dunham, founder of Parallax Organic Vineyard, about his fully certified organic vineyard in Tasmania which is located in Penna on Tasmania East Coast.

Chris Mackey accepts the mission to travel to another planet with the purpose of explaining how Synchronicity can play a big part in how he communicate with our self & others.

Zen & John talking with

Wendy Clarity Van Dort

Wendy is a Yoga Practitioner & has been teaching yoga for the past 4 years as a way to find balance in her own life & also for the human condition at large. Wendy believes we need to be in contact with the wisdom of ancient tribes and cultures to stay in harmony with the rhythms of life & the universal laws of nature. Wendy has also dabbled in permaculture & has enjoyed growing her own food whilst encouraging others.

Neil Blake

Neil came to see waterways as the arteries of the Earth since he lived by the Murray River and working in its red gum forests at his young age.

The river feeds life in the forest & irrigates the human economy; but over a period of 10 years he has witnessed the health of the river decline due to human decisions and actions.

Neil believes that understanding & clear communication is vital to connect people to nature where they live; fostering appreciation and lifelong care.

We would like to advise that during our conversation, there are some parts of our podcast that maybe sensitive to our listeners, such as coarse language, sexual references and drug usage.

Uncle Jack speaks from the heart, and we do hope you respect his honesty.
