Come with me on my personal journey as I try to make peace with the land on which I grew up, with insight and help from others through conversation. This podcast explores our understanding of “home” in the hope of finding common ground for connection, starting with an exploration of my own personal experience returning “home” to Ireland. Through this lens I explore themes of lifestyle, work, identity and how our understanding of “home” might shape the way we move through society and our relationships with each other.

    Ep14. A Good Place To Start

    In this episode I try and articulate a feeling of being lied to by the world, by society, by my own mind and belief systems and what I have tried to do to disentangle myself from it all and reclaim some agency.

    Unheard Moment with Edmund: Navigating the cling film

    Here is some extra content from my conversation with Edmund in Episode 3 that you haven't heard yet. In these two clips we chat firstly about how he navigates the demands of modern life and his love of nature, and in the second clip Edmund wonders how we might reach out to people who don't have the same love of nature that forms such a core part of his own life.

    Ep11. A Forgotten Ireland

    This spell of good weather has me out of kilter. This is not the Ireland that I remember. In this episode I explore how we often pursue the future at the expense of the present and how we might miss the gifts of our immediate environment as a result. This is a public episode.

    Ep10. A Conversation with Ellie: Living From The Heart

    In this episode I talk to Ellie, a psychotherapist who would describe her work as sitting on the boundary between traditional therapy and spirituality. Our conversation led us to explore the differences between religion and spirituality and how living from the heart can be both liberating and challenging. I met Ellie a number of years ago on a visit to the Krishnamurti Centre in Brockwood Park, UK and we also chat a little bit about our experience there. This is a public episode.

    Ep9. A Conversation with Connor: Finding Home Through Music

    In this conversation I chat with Connor, a dear friend from Australia. Connor is a double bass player and our conversation led us to explore his own journey with becoming comfortable with the unknowns of improvised music. The conversation offers some insights for our every day lives about moving with intention while not being attached to the outcome. This is a public episode.

    Ep8. A Search for Purpose

    In this episode I discuss my own struggles, both with my own sense of purpose and with my health. I delve into how this has affected where I place value in the "professional/working" world, with money and where I feel it is necessary to channel our time and energy in order to feel whole. It is an episode about where we place our sense of self-worth and questions how much responsibility we have to change things. This is a public episode.
