Into the BayFM studios this morning i welcome Santos Organics Area Manager - Rob Baldwin along with Concious Grounds Executive Director - May Ly to talk all things local, ethical, sustainable and delicious.

May shares a special story about returning to her Vietnamese culture and healing herself through traditional foods. Yum.

Nadia Pietramale de Souza (R) & Endre Kvia (L) join me for a chat about Mother Earth Educators, one of three short films screening on 22nd October as part of the "Seeds of Inspiration" sessions.

The short film is set in Mullumbimby’s Community Garden where you’ll witness a group of children reconnecting with nature, forging bonds, understanding their roles in the larger ecosystem, and experiencing the magic of hands-on learning.

A testament to the transformative power of returning to our root’s, a journey that shines a spotlight on the resilience of the human spirit and the undying bond we share with Mother Earth.

Mana wrote a speech for school about his favourite thing in the world ... scootering.

In the speech, recorded in the deep South of Aotearoa NZ for BayFM in Byron Bay, Mana will try to convince you to try scootering. With such a great list of reasons why, it's hard not to want to give it a go!

Have a listen and decide for yourself.

Relative Terrains Exhibition - Karma Barnes & Robert Franken - Grafton Gallery - 16 Sept til 12 Nov 2023.

Relative Terrains traverses the geological environments and volcanic landscapes of Bundjalung Country- the Northern Rivers, exploring how the forces of elements, time, and life experiences shape and change us. Through a palimpsest of the Earth's endless cycles of life and death, creation and destruction, the work examines how our internal and external experiences transform us.

Karma shares how her work is inspired by her deep fascination with the endless cycles of life and death, creation and destruction and how we are shaped and changed by our internal and external experiences, elements and impermanence.

Sisxteen months after the devastating 2022 floods in the Northern Rivers of NSW we returned to the newly repaired and renovated Main Arm school. We wanted to see what had changed, how the community had coped and what advice the young legends had, having survived such a disaster. Their incredible resilience shines through in these interviews and we found some answers we weren't expecting!
