  • Episode 9: Listening to Your Body
    In this episode we share about the Camino and the lesson it offers us on listening to our body and understanding what it is saying to us. Our body is the “house” we live in….and understanding the signs it gives is so important for our well-being. When we understand these signs it also makes us better at empathizing with others and having compassion.

  • Episode 8: Human Solidarity
    In this episode we look at how the Camino strengthens human solidarity …. This human solidarity is also what gets you through the tough times and restores your faith in Humanity.  Ram Dass sums it up well: “We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.”

  • Episode 7: What happens when things get tough
    In this episode we are back on the Camino and the lessons on focus, mental strength and resilience… The Camino teaches us to prepare for a great experience…while anticipating tough moments and rolling in with whatever happens...injuries included. We don’t give in to the tough moments but we adapt….and focus on what needs to be done, however painful, and renew our mental strength. In these times of Covid19, life has thrown a curveball at us….our plans are in shambles.  This calls on us to do what needs to be done and to renew our mental strength….

    In this episode we talk about our thoughts and how they can take us captive in uncertain time. We will therefore practice a mindful breathing exercise to help keep ourselves steady in these times of Covid19.

  • Episode 4: The Baggage We Carry
    Life is a tough climb sometimes and lugging around extra weight only makes the journey more difficult. We need to let go of the luggage, the baggage we carry if we are to enjoy the Camino. In life we also carry baggage that we may not need if we are to enjoy living in the present moment. The baggage or what l will call the emotional load can be anything ….

  • No Head Podcast Episode 2
    In our second episode of No Head we share about walking the Camino de Santiago. The Camino teaches you to be present, to live in the present moment, to look at the trees, on the road, on the tiles and walls, on the gates... for the yellow scallop symbol with the arrow….and when you catch it, you know that you’re on track ...

About No Head Podcast

From the publisher's feed

”No Head" is about living life in the present moment, navigating life together & telling African stories. Dorothy Ooko, when not doing a full-time job in communications, facilitates a course at Google called Search Inside Yourself (SIY). The head is host to all our thoughts, our concerns, our biases, fears & insecurities that invariably get in the way of our being fully present to life. “No Head” is about awakening our real identity, our true authentic unadulterated uncontaminated identity -- that identity which is our true self. That identity which leaves our assumptions, our judgments, our biases behind and allows us to tune in more deeply into the present, to avoid getting lost in our thoughts about the past or the future and helps us stay in touch with our experiences as they unfold moment by moment. This is what mindfulness is all about…Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on Google Podcast, Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Stitcher and check the website www.nohead.space so you never miss an episode.
