In my conversation with Franko Heke the musician we talk about his journey from rock music to medicinal matra music, (vipassana being the accelerant!) and how music is his entry into the spiritual realm. 

We delve into Franko’s spiritual practice of fasting, which keeps him clear and in tune with his true self. The less stuff we are filled with (i.e. thoughts, material things and food) the more clarity we can have as to what really, truly brings us bliss.

We finish with a bit of insight from Franko’s relationship with Nikki Rhodes - create white space in your calendar for your relationship and just allow what happens. And always be curious and open to your other half.

This is a delightful, meandering conversation with a very special human -  Anna Birchall from Moon Turtle.

• Anna tells us about how she got into journaling
• We hear about Moon Turtle as it is in the present and what she wants to do over the rest of the year and going forward.
• Journalling as a way to bring about conscientiousness and awareness
• Anna’s many favourite ways to connect with others
• How the moon and the lunar cycles are a reminder of the constant cyclic, transient nature of life
• Anna’s affinity with hydrangeas
• Every person who comes into your life is there for a reason. To teach you to help you learn.
• The stories of clothes.
• Noticing the changes in yourself - is daily journalling too regular to notice changes?
• How OBSERVATION has helped Anna practice compassion towards herself
• Monthly intentions rather than goals (intentions are just goals that you can’t fail at).
• Outcome = authenticity, the way to get there is stop caring what people think/embrace discomfort.
• The difference between pain and discomfort

Laura and Kara-Leah take a deep dive into classical tantra which is about finding awakening (full embodied awareness) and liberation (dissolving of our conditioning) while still enjoying the material and beautiful things in life. 

We also speak about Kara-Leah’s experience in lockdown - how a simple change in our environment can have such a profound effect on our body and mind, the underlying assumption of questions, and the reason people spend time resisting and rejecting what is already a reality.

Laura Hett chats to Tish Mexted the founder of Honey Pot about her journey, the magic of yoga and the purpose of Honey Pot. Together we explore the challenge of getting entangled in the anxiety of uncertainty, and acknowledge the importance of being present, as that’s the only time we’ve got. We deep dive into the magic of yoga, and how through practice it can reveal your true authentic self. When we are our authentic selves, we attract other likeminded humans, allowing deep connections and friendships to form. And how through caring for ourselves, we inherently care for our community and the planet. We also delve into Tish’s relationship with her husband Luke, how he is a beacon for her growth, and what keeps things fiery in the bedroom.
