Towards Connection

Do you have enough connection and meaning in your life? What does this even mean and why does it matter? Follow me – Kai, on a camping trip around Australia, meeting people who have found meaning and connection in their life. Learn how they discovered it, how it has changed their life and why it is so powerful. Then, join me as I try their activity out for myself, throwing myself into it with genuine curiosity and unbridled effort in an attempt to bring more meaning and connection into my life… who knows, maybe you’ll be inspired to try something new yourself.

    Soup Kitchens

    “And there are these people that have so little and want to stop and ask how your day is and make sure you're doing okay and that's changed my view of the world”. Lindsay has given up every Saturday for years working in a hot kitchen in Brisbane, preparing hundreds of hot and hearty meals to take to those who need it. Through Lindsay and the other volunteers at Dig In, I got to experience the joy of giving. I also explored the issue of the financial crisis and food waste in Australia.

    Art

    “I'm a person who creates problems. As an artist, a problem is a new project. So I have a lot of problems”. Jingwei grew up isolated in a remote part of Inner Mongolia, spending her days wandering around the wilderness on her own. As an adult, Jingwei has found a way to cure her inner loneliness through finding life, art and beauty in every object around her. Jingwei made me wonder if I am already an artists.

    Living Off-Grid

    “The whole idea of how a city works is just so foreign to me that I don't really want to be there, it just doesn't make sense”. Reiko and John are living how I think I should be living – consciously and in connection with nature. I was sure that living off-grid meant giving up most comforts… I was wrong!

    Pickleball

    Have you ever heard of Pickleball? I hadn’t until I met Andrew, but Pickleball might be the fastest growing sport in the world. Andrew is the Chairperson of Pickleball South Australia, and he is on a mission to make this new sport inclusive and welcoming to all, regardless of their background, ability or identity. Meanwhile, I am on a mission to find out if I can turn sporty. “I think there's no question that sport has a massive role in shaping public opinion on a whole series of topics and I guess you can ask the question, is it sports responsibility to do those things?” FOLLOW THE SHOW: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/towardsconnection/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/towardsconnection/ GET INVOLVED IN PICKLEBALL: https://www.pickleballaus.org/ https://pickleballsouthaustralia.org/ https://www.instagram.com/pickleballsa/

    Meditation

    “People who come here usually are searching, whether they know it or not, they're searching”. David and Rajni are the co-founders of Kailash Ashram in the Grampians. Knowing something was missing from their lives, they found meditation, the teachings of a Guru in India and each other. They invited me to stay at their ashram to show me how a half hour a day can transform my life.

    Accessible Acting

    “It really is spine tingling, goosebump inducing, joy promoting, community connection personified”. The Find Your Voice Collective is an accessible arts community where I spent a day learning acting and improvisation with a group of people connected through a love of song, performances and putting themselves out there.
