The IKKIVI Podcast: Exploring Fashion, Culture and Values

Welcome to the second episode of ‘The IKKIVI Podcast’. In this episode we have with us Sarah, Founder of Copper + Cloves - a hub and resource for us to learn and get excited about cooking beautiful, nourishing food using local, sustainable ingredients. In this week’s conversation we discuss why present moment awareness is important when we’re eating, how points of eating can be helpful anchors into connecting with ourselves, the relations between food, taste and pleasure that form key moments of our day, and the role our emotions play in the ways we approach food. In this talk, Sarah lends us an understanding on noticing how different foods make us feel, cultivating achievable and honest standards of healthy eating, recognising evolutionary perspectives on food that influence the decisions we make, softening cravings and exempting self-judgement upon ourselves.

Welcome to the very first episode of ‘The IKKIVI Podcast’. In this episode we have with us Arti Jalan, Founder of the online conscious living platform Forage and Sustain. A creative exploration of subjects that affect us in our everyday lives, Forage and Sustain invites us to think about the meanings of self-care, mindful travel, slow living and uniting with others with the intention of making the world and our future, better.

On this week’s show we talk about rethinking our ways of consuming and practicing sustainability by taking small actions over seeing it as an unsolvable mystery, and reflect on the seeming paradox of ‘consciousness’ and ‘business’ together, our general addiction to the aspects of learning above acting and not feeling ready to pursue the things that interest us. 

In this conversation, Arti offers insightful ideas on the inessentiality of hustling to achieve success, learning to set boundaries to come into balance with overstimulation, creating freedom based lifestyles, harnessing our intuition to make personal decisions, and moving with intention in the things we do. (This podcast was recorded on October 15, 2020)
