Customer Reviews
Brain exploding listening
I often listen to episodes twice because each one is so densely packed with insight. Kim approaches her work with rigour and a sense of humour that is infectious to listen to. In an industry where information is often hoarded, Kim invites us into her processes, practices and discoveries with a remarkable spirit of generosity. I always leave this listening experience invigorated and inspired to energize my own work. A true gem of a podcast.
An important voice we need now
Kim’s combination of fierce intelligence, deep empathy and indigenous wisdom always leaves me challenged yet nourished in mind and spirit. A must-listen podcast.
Raw and Beautiful
Kim is an interstellar traveller that is here to provoke us. She helps us understand indigenous ways of knowing our planet, us as humans, and help to shift our perspectives through her words and art.
