    Brenda Kent Colina - on Art as an Anchor

    Hello friends!! 🎞️🎙️ Join me in this special conversation with my friend Brenda, at her home in Ucluelet this summer.  About Brenda: Brenda Kent Colina is a Mexican multi-disciplinary artist  currently  based in the seaside town of Ucluelet (Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ territory). Born in Mexico City, she spent her early years cradled by colour and warmth. At the age of eight, Brenda immigrated to Canada and was astounded to see just how tall a tree could grow and a mountain could be. This ongoing dialogue between cultures, alongside her reverence for nature, reverberate in her art to this day.  A graduate from SFU's Film program, she channels her visual skills through documentary storytelling. Brenda also writes poetry. While her projects are varied, many promote community well-being and advocate for the protection of our natural environment. When away from these realms, she can be found looking for mushrooms or lifting weights. Connect with her through her instagram: @b.kent.colina Website: https://bkentc.com/ Substack: @brendakentcolina Unfolding | A Visual Poem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpMMvARPgA4 One of my favourites of hers, La Partida, La Llegada | (The Departure, The Arrival) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VafDzbyoh4 Are You Mad at Me book: https://www.indigo.ca/en-ca/are-you-mad-at-me-how-to-stop-focusing-on-what-others-think-and-start-living-for-you/9781668082461.html 🎞️ Support yourself + Tulā with gifts from our partners!

    Hunter Bergen - on following your curiosities

    Hello my wonderful friends! 🎙🏔 Welcome to this latest episode that was formed extremely organically between Hunter + I. We didn’t have a big conversation about it — we were out taking photos + having a work meeting + she mentioned how she has always wanted to be on a podcast. I thought well, WAIT a minute! We have one, + she’s part of the team here at Tulā, so we should record one so everyone can learn more about her + so she can achieve that dream of hers! Hunter is many things, but for lack of a better term she’s my support here, or ‘assistant’ she helps me with all things behind the scenes + works remotely on our digital spaces so we can continue to grow. I think it’s great that her and I were able to sit down + chat. She stopped into Vancouver for a few weeks after returning from Australia, + in that time we got some in person work done together, photos, videos, + a snowy trip to Bowen to help me do some work at Nectar Yoga. She’s since returned to her travels in Australia + I can’t wait to see her next winter when I fly in later this year. TW: This episode has mentions of suicide About Hunter: "How does one describe themselves, when they are but a collection of countless past experiences, and endless desires?  Ultimately, I am an individual seeking direction in life, with a never-ending bucket list, and not enough time to check them all off in this one lifetime. I am a photographer, a writer, an environmentalist, a mental health advocate, a seeker of type-2 fun, and a forever student/lover of life."

    Whitney Tfankedjian - on inviting in fluidity

    Hello my friends!! 🎙❤️ **few things - I realize now that this episode and maybe the previous ones are only coming through the right channel. I’ve hired someone to help me mend this and make the episodes better. So sorry if listening quality has been bad. Thank you for your kindness + support regardless. Welcome to this episode where I pull one of the audio transcriptions from my substack piece “Inviting in fluidity” Audio transcription of my piece starts at 41:20 https://thewarmthofthesun.substack.com/p/inviting-in-fluidity In this solo sesh I chat about the rigidity I witness in people, and how I can only hope that slowly we begin to branch out, open up, and want to experience the world as beings of this planet. There’s so much to see, to do, to try, to smell, to taste, to hear. I invite you to find openness, and fluidity.  Connect with us elsewhere, if you’d like to view our photos, videos, or want to chat.

    Whitney Tfankedjian - on the 'holidays' + honouring yourself through them

    Hello friends!! 🎙🕯 Happy whatever you celebrate!!! + happiness to you if you don’t have any celebrations this time of year.  I share in this episode a bit of my personal experience with the holidays, some ways I know a few of us relate to certain feelings around this time of year, + I take the time to help you to feel empowered to make choices for yourself. I hope this time shared supports you to reduce any feelings of guilt, shame, grief. + I want you to remember that things only hold the weight that you put on them.  Many of us do not connect with this holiday specifically, as we may feel rooted in other practices, religions, + beliefs + I think there needs to be space held for that. I want to remind us of the pressures that are put on us or ones we put on ourselves to show up, buy things, be around people that are harmful to us.  + I want to make sure we’re all staying open, kindhearted, + remember those in our communities who are less fortunate, this time of year + every other day.  Some resources for you: Kandra Alaya - Holy Days, practicing energetic hygiene + taking care of your well-being. https://www.kandraalaya.com/ I remind you to show up where you feel you want to + to listen to the voice that’s telling you that it’s not working. I remind you of others projections, staying strong in knowing who you are, + if you need to head to the bathroom for a noticed breath, do it.  I’m in the beginning stages of my new (but has always been in the background) project Blessing Beings, in which donations from this go straight to those in need by providing heat, food, + other needs a being needs.  https://www.whitneytfankedjian.com/blessingbeings Please consider donating to help us keep people warm + fed.  Your photos, printed with Artifact Uprising!

    Kendra Adachi - on sacred sustenance + deep soul nourishment

    Hello podcast peeps! 🎙🍓 Here we are - another episode!  I want to share my gratitude + respect I have for Kendra. I appreciate watching her journey + connecting with her at this stage of her journey. We met at earth daughters festival this summer + shared a few chats together. I attended both of her offerings at the festival + received so much from them, + witnessed others do the same.  I appreciate her realness, + truth telling. I appreciate her authenticity + dedication to being herself. You don't ever sense with Kendra that she's trying to be anyone else but who she is. + I think that's beautiful + needed more + more everyday. when we recorded this Kendra was almost 8 months pregnant - since then she’s given birth to a baby girl named Koji. Sending love, prayer, + big congratulations to her, Jeremy, + Koji.  Trigger warning: In this episode we talk about eating disorders, drug use, suicidal ideation, + sexual abuse. From Kendra: ‘I am in service to permission, + the sacred responsibility to be satiated + deeply receive. Permission to honour the body, its wisdom + innate guidance. Approving of the power we all wield as our intuitive compass, + opening to access the truth of our sovereign expression as a fully satiated + nourished being. Bridging the gap between body + spirit, I hold space guiding people to begin listening + trusting their own wisdom from within. I lead intuitive sessions to support opening the body + clearing through what no longer serves. More sacred excavation than “coaching session”, these experiences are a space where we get to dance with the thaw of your system as we allow it to show us what is needed. It is all within you, I simply hold, witness, + remind what you are capable of. I hold intimate 1-1 containers, The Honouring, to allow the spaciousness for the body to return to deep trust, reorienting the relationship to self + the body from disconnect to deep loving connection. Alongside this work, I nourish women in many capacities whether it be a private chef for intimate settings, for lively retreats, or workshops where we sit with the ceremony of food embracing the tangible mirror and element that is our God-given right to receive on a cellular, soulful, energetic, + spiritual level. I am currently being initiated into motherhood with our healthy baby girl, Koji. Inviting a deepening in my work I couldn't have prepared for.’ Application for 1-1 containers: https://www.adachikendra.com/wield Connect + inquire about workshops, chef work, or anything else: https://www.adachikendra.com/contact Instagram: @adachikendra 🍓 About our sponsor Eversio Wellness: There is so much talk about fungi, + for good reason. These incredible, advanced, + sophisticated beings are of great support to us as humans + to the greater good of the entire world. I don't need to tell you about all of their goodness. They are truly incredible. Eversio Wellness provides an educational platform, along with the opportunity to purchase their fruiting body mushroom supplements. These supplements are harvested from wood-grown fungi, which in their research supports the mushrooms to have the highest benefit, as the medium they're grown on is what effects the overall quality + benefit for us.
