Beauty lifts us. Pleasure lifts us. Though this lifting isn't an up and out of, it's a simultaneous deepening and embodying. A growth in all directions, and perhaps most importantly, a growth downwards into our being rooted in this life. To have the audacity in this day and age to be rooted in the unseen, and create from there, bringing our worlds and visions, gifts into this world. We can get our behavioural reinforcement from the pleasure networks of the brain physiology and be less and les...
In this episode I sit with friend and teacher Nina Powell. In Nina's words, 'A little-known phenomenon called post-traumatic growth explains what happens when we fully heal. We don't just reset to who we were before the trauma — we expand beyond that previous state. You don't just return to your former self. You become the version of yourself that you've always known exists at your core. It's an expanded you coming into realisation. Some call this enlightenment. And it is. Eve...
Like the metabolising of food, the creative process has phases, energetic properties we can support and cultivate, allowing us to embody the challenges, boundaries and explorations that characterise each phase. These are the stages I live through and by, and support people in recognising in their own experience so that we can genuinely move through these natural phases and express our contributions and gifts, without stalling and making an identity out of a phase we can't seem to move t...
If we don't value the person to person transmission of skills, held in the human nervous system, cellular memory, deepest of kinaesthetic intelligence, we will think it's ok to hand over everything to AI. This cannot be an option in a future where we become more deeply resourced in our humanity, our dexterity, sensitivity and unique communication style. The future is in our hands. WHEN WE WAKE UP OUR HANDS WE WAKE UP OUR PURPOSE. Any embodied skill we practice, will never be a was...
Dr Roxanne partridge works and celebrates women in the waters that our culture seeks to deny, let alone venerate. She says 'I’m here to show you how to alchemise psychic gold from the shit of your experiences, rapture found on the other side of rupture, and a Queen’s radiance sourced from depths of our encounters with all that seeks to diminish our life force. If you hear the call to more or other, you are more ready than you think you are to transform. I’ve crossed the thresholds...
I'm floored by what happens when we hold a space for another or ourselves in the ritual container of our attention, and nourish the most potent and alive aspects of ourselves. Introducing a place I've been in for many years in conversations globally with women I know and love, VOICE NOTE ACTIVATIONS!! I've had it reflected to me many times that my UNHINGED voice notes are inspiring and permission giving to women, and I feel the same with the ones I receive. It has taken me SO LONG to re...
Dòri Varga is an interdisciplinary artist who is as deeply sensual as she is intelligent. She has a mind sharp as a razor and an appetite for the edge, which she explores with hunger and courage in her work through her instantly recognisable page Blood of Aurora as well as her work as a solo and collaborative artist. Dòri truly has died many artistic and personal deaths in the time I've been following her work, which is about a decade. This woman is sharp and deep and sexy and funny and...

Trigger warning, tender alert- this episode contains the mention of a woman I know losing her child. ................ This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, ...
I'm not a medical person. I'm a woman who wants to live my life fully alive and have to work with the hand I've been dealt. This is a reflection on the notion of ADHD as 'Trauma' and the consistent narrative of ADHD being a disadvantage that plugs into the existing feelings of shame neurodivergent people experience living a life feeling like we're 'not quite hitting the mark.' What if we're absolutely on the mark, we've just been told the mark isn't where we are. I decided a few years a...

Why do we feel the need to babysit the intellect and experience of those around us with the phrase 'this is going to sound very woo'. An invitation to not caveat our inner experience . We need people to speak up about the depths of their inner, unique non-rational experience. There is no caveat to beauty. Beauty is the medicine. Our art needs us not to caveat our experience through fear of how it's going to land. Bravery is in being honest about who we are. Let them call us names, let them no...
I was scorching hot working inside my wooden cabin. Couldn't think so I went for a walk and recorded a spontaneous episode. I don't even know what to call it. Themes of our cultural obsession with the Self, with our highest self, our best self, our calling, our purpose, and that we need to break a bit more a bit more often. I hope there's some food for though, or rather for feeling , in here. With love, Loren www.lorenlewiscole.com https://www.instagram.com/lorenlewiscolejewellery/

Our focus and attention are our most cherished gifts. When we find our centre through the experience of focus, the space around us and our temporal experience changes. www.lorenlewiscole.com https://www.instagram.com/lorenlewiscolejewellery/ The Embodied Vessel Membership - Rewilding our native creativity https://embodiedvessel.uscreen.io/
There's a place in us that remembers how to be free. There's a freedom in the flesh that exists even though there's trauma, even though culture has done its best to make us uniform. There's freedom in curiosity, innocence in pleasure, and homecoming in creative rewilding.

What even is healing? We can only heal what's broken. Why are we so afraid to break? We evolved in a deeper time, we evolved with the rhythms of the sun and the moon, of seasons, the hum of vistas of hot dusty rock, of the song of the wind on ice tundras. we evolved in and with the elements of this earth, and invention, ritual, craft, the evolution of culture in any sense, evolved in deep time. Deep time is quite literally any time where the pedestrian experience of sequenti...
Humans learn with our senses. Artistic practice is embodiment. We've been raised in a culture that teaches us 'about' the world rather than a kinaesthetic engagement 'with' the world. Coming home to the body is the richest, wildest and most deliciously succulent journey a human can go on. It is just so exquisite to be alive as a human. Artistic practice is inherently feeling based and that's why people diminish it from the perspective of a disembodied society. Come home baby, come home....
