Wandering Into Wellness

Dr Ciaran O'Carroll The time to act is NOW

In the first of our mini podcasts live from the Irish extinction Rebellion week camp, we chat to dr Ciaran O’Carroll about the XR mission. He calls for immediate action by us the people, to come out of our houses and support protests, join the XR meetings, and petition the government to ban the burning of fossil fuels. He makes it clear that people are dying from climate change NOW and this isn’t a problem that lies in the hands of others but rather sits on our very own doorstep. He urges that we need to acknowledge this fact and start to make changes on a personal level, as well as a government level with immediate effect.

Ciaran argues that climate delayers are just as bad as climate deniers at this stage, because they both end us up in the same place; whilst efforts are undoubtedly being taken across the world in order to make steps in the right direction, it is all too little and all too slow. He points out that despite the fact that we declared a Climate Emergency over a year ago, in the latest budget that came out in Ireland, the government gave only 9 million to support cycling  but 16 million was given to greyhound racing, which shows where their priorities lie, and that the sense of urgency with which the XR movement feel we need to be acting hasn’t been taken on.

Rob Verkerk - A Respectful "No" To The No Meat Agenda

With the pressure mounting on the carnivores to consider their meat consumption, it’s rare to find a balanced voice who can actually pick apart the delicate nuanced science behind the noise.

Dr Robert Verkerk is just such a man however. With a re-focus on eco-agricultural methods, Rob believes, and convincingly so, that we are better off with some degree of animal agriculture, both for human health and the health of our planet. Predictably, he urges a reduction in meat consumption, but if large tracts of the population turn vegan he says - they must become “wise vegans” with a view to ensuring that certain micronutrients are focused on in supplement form in order to maintain and optimise health. He breaks some of these key nutrients down so that those of us keen to make our lives more plant-based, can do so with confidence.

Going Deep with Shaman Durek at Vitality 2019

Given our previous conversations with Mantak Chia and Shubamrita on the subject of spirituality, we were beyond giddy to have some precious moments to accept learnings from Shaman Durek, a shaman with his roots in west African culture and tracing from a long line of medicine men and spiritual healers.

We were really intrigued to get behind the public persona, to access some of the more private musings of the man, and to delve into the formative years of this powerfully healing human being.

It was exciting to feel the enabling simplicity of his message, to hear stories of the impacts his insights have had on his friends both famous and not so, and to simply experience the presence of a man standing so naturally in his power.

This one is lit, folks, and no mistake!

Patrick Holford at Vitality 2018

For over 2 decades Patrick Holford has been at the forefront of the natural health industry.

These days he's moving the nutritional debate in a new direction. The Ketogenic diet has officially gone viral in the past couple of years and Patrick Holford is fully onboard. Here as he explains the fundamental concepts behind ketosis and why we all need to take a fresh look at the food - and especially the fats - on our plates.

Ben Sasse @ Meadows In The Mountains 2019 - Real And Resonant Change (Ideals Before Income)

Want to hear the origin story of Meadows In The Mountains? From the horse's mouth? Tune in and find out why Meadows is THE festival for right now.

With a courageous, even fearless approach, for 9 years now Ben and his team have managed to draw significant and growing numbers of folk from various nationalities to a green field site high in the Rhodope mountains in rural Bulgaria - ostensibly they're there to party,

But a deep vein of social activism runs through every facet of this festival - it's a living breathing organ for social change. This is immediately clear when you hear the passion with which Ben addresses every element of his baby.

And what a baby! Meadows In The Mountains has the heart that might just allow the hedonistic festival vibe to actually preach to and convert masses of young folk in their western affluent audience to become agents in their own communities, to preserve and grown the commitment that Ben and Meadows In the Mountains show to making a better world, and possibly...juuuuust possibly, save this planet and our global community from the brink of extinction.

Jennifer Rocks - Feeling Good In Your Own Skin

On this weeks podcast we are chatting to  @theskinnerd Ireland’s very own skin guru and female entrepreneur extraordinaire. 

Jennifer Is the founder and CEO of award winning business The Skin Nerd, she has thousands of avid fans across Ireland who follow her skin care tips and tricks and this year her much awaited book on all things skin, went straight to the top of the Irish non fiction best seller lists and has been nominated for an Irish book award!

When we were researching and preparing for this podcast, all we kept hearing from endless sources who had worked with Jennifer was “ what a lovely person “ she is: everyone raves about her warm and bubbly personality and they weren’t wrong.  We met Jennifer at Wellfest this year where we sat in the sun in the gardens of the modern art museum and chatted about what it is like to carve a career for yourself as a young single mum.

We discussed how she managed to ride life’s unexpected twists and turns and still raise a brilliant human and manage a booming business.  One thing that Jennifer is candid about is that it wasn’t always smooth sailing, there were mistakes along the way and many moments where she wasn’t sure how to make it work, but in true Jennifer fashion she picked herself up, kept on going , took support when it was offered, gathered a wonder team around her and now is standing proud as the woman who is helping thousands of people finally feel good in their own skin.

To find out more about the skin nerds services go to : https://www.theskinnerd.com/ Or you can buy her book “ The Skin Nerd” in book stores now.

A Very Public Case of IBS - Maeve Madden

Maeve Madden is lady transformed.  From being a dancer with a serious eating disorder, to the strong and vibrant version of herself as she is today, Maeve has come a long way in terms of her public and private persona.  Having quietly coped with digestive distress for a long time, Maeve finally decided to change how the world saw her. By posting photos of her bloated belly in the throws of a bout of IBS, Maeve let the world into her private life in a way that most wouldn’t dare.  It led her down a new path towards an awareness of nutrition, and gave her tools that help her cope and now allow her to educate her online audience to support them with their own struggles.

 

Strength Through Surrender @ Meadows In The Mountains 2019

On our second visit to this ridiculously progressive, earth-centred festival in the Rhodope, we were lucky enough to host our very own workshop, set around the theme of finding the juicy meeting point between our yang and yin selves. How recognition of these sides of our character, in our physiology, and as reflected in nature all around us, can help us come to a deeper understanding of both our inside and outside worlds.

We really went on a journey with our incredibly receptive audience, gazing out at the ridiculous beauty that is the Bulgarian high mountain landscape, we hope you enjoy this one!

If this theme or our work in general seems like something you'd be interested in exploring further in your business or in a personal capacity, please come and let us know and we can set up something tailored to your requirements!

Wandering Into Wildness with Tony Riddle

rebellious in nature in fact in person he comes across so naturally that when you're chatting to him you'd be forgiven for thinking he's just following the crowd. That couldn't be further from the truth.

He's a barefoot running coach too, a brand ambassador for Vivo Barefoot, and a fascinating man all round - check out his feed on Instagram @thenaturallifestylist to keep in touch with where his life takes him.

Stay tuned right till the end, where he tells the most amazing story about constellation therapy...it's worth the wait.

Also apologies for the sound on this one guys We're trying to get a better sound recording situation solved - but as it's outdoors, we will always have the elements there to challenge our technology...

 

A Deep Dive Into Doshas For Finn & Lydia with Kitty Billings @ Meadows In The Mountains 2018

We first met kitty in the Mesa healing tent at Meadows in the Mountains festival where she was a shining light of positivity and energy amidst the festival mayhem all around us.
Kitty is a woman of many talents: having trained in various styles of yoga and meditation, Ayurvedic healing, zen Thai massage and movement and organic healing. She also has the voice of an angel and has composed and sung her own yoga music available on her website : 
Www.Kittybillings.com
We ended up sheltering from a lightning storm at the time our podcast was due to be shot outdoors and so the result is this slightly adhoc joint Ayurvedic consultation perched by a window in a bell tent looking out at the Bulgarian mountains with literally hundreds of other people strewn around us! 
Join us on our wander into Ayurvedic principles, discover probably way too much information about Lydia and Finn’s personal health foibles and hear about our grand plans for personalized nut butters based on your Dosha!
