    Dawn is joined for a beautiful and engaging conversation by Stefan Batorijs the founding pioneer of Ecotherapy.    His book, Wild Life: Shinrin-Yoku and The Practice of Healing through Nature, is engaging, insightful, and weaves magic around the beauty and interconnectedness of our world.

    Season 5 Episode 2 Working with our energy systems in the body with Dawn Lister and Prune Harris

    In this conversation, Prune Harris and I offer an exploration of working with our energy systems in the body.   Prune's extensive knowledge and experience offers an incredible insight into feeling and sensing our energy, and the energy of those around us, and how Mother Earth can be a way to connect to each other and live in harmony with our highest purpose. A fascinating conversation that crosses the paths of yoga and chinese medicine.     Listen in, and of course please do share, review and hit that subscribe button.    Dawn    About Prune Harris   Prune Harris has grown up in a world of energy, and for the past 50 years, she has been tracking, understanding, and now translating this world for us all to experience.   Since birth, Prune has been able to see energy - the energy of humans, animals, trees, and the Earth, and she sees this energy as vibrations, colours, and connective patterns. But it wasn’t until a pivotal moment in her mid 30’s that Prune realised her way of experiencing the world was very different from many of us. Her simple and insightful explanations of how our personal energy field, our collective energy field, and the global energy field interconnect, sheds forgotten light on how we can begin to move back to patterns of not just individual, but global health and harmony.    An energy expert, consciousness educator, and soul activist, Prune has trained with healers, elders, and wisdom holders throughout the world and is certified in Touch For Health Kinesiology, Eden Energy Medicine, and Celtic and Norse Shamanism. For 20 years Prune worked as a clinical practitioner, dedicating her skills and gifts to helping those who needed to heal physically, emotionally or spiritually. But, with a three-year waiting list, she knew that to make a global impact she needed to make her knowledge accessible to a much wider audience. Through her in-person and online courses, her social media presence, her membership, YouTube channel, and best selling book ‘Your Radiant Soul - Understand Your Energy to Transform Your World’, Prune has empowered thousands of people across the globe to bring consciousness to their energy systems and make small yet powerful changes that elicit real change in their lives. Because, once we are aligned with our own template of health, we can then begin to align with the global template of health and, in her own words, ‘That is where the real magic happens, for you, me, and our entire world.’   About Dawn Lister and From The Heart From The Heart is a podcast from Dawn Lister, co-owner of the Dawn Lister Therapy Centre and owner of Anahata Wellbeing Centre, both in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, UK.

    Season 5 Episode 1 Creating conversation with the earth with Dawn Lister and Angela Carroll-Wallace

    In this episode we welcome our first guest to season 5, Angela Carroll-Wallace, a Land Artist, Photographer, Maker and Creative. We hold an inspiring conversation about our connection to the earth. How our disconnection is symbolic of how disconnected we can be as a society. Through her journey into the landscapes of Canada, Angela co-creates works in harmony with the environment she is sharing space with. Her work is a beautiful invitation and a creative solution that offers us an opportunity to repair our connection to the earth, and in turn heal ourselves and our communities. Angela Carroll-Wallace is a Canadian Land Artist whose creative practice is informed by her mindfulness-based connection with her co-creator, Mother Nature. An avid wonderer and daydreaming artist, she has held many roles that contribute to her worldview and personal expression, from photographer and studio owner to an expressive arts therapist and arts based workshop and retreat facilitator. Shortly before the world retreated in 2020, Angela experienced the need to leave a thriving studio and practice in the city and return to the forest to find healing and inspiration. Having worked closely with nature as part of her varied art experiences over the years, this relationship became both balm and primary focus of her work as an artist experiencing anxiety, loss and burn out. Land Art, sometimes called Earth Art or Environmental Art, is an art movement that became more recognised with the social disruptions of the 1960’s as a way to distill the process of making art from the establishment of a hierarchical gallery, market system.  Artists such as Nancy Holt, Nils-Udo, Agnes Denes, Maya Lin, Walter de Maria and Andy Goldsworthy among many others have informed and inspired Angela's work. In our time it has held onto this “otherness” in the art world and has also become more entwined with the modern need for connections between the human world we have created, and the natural world that is always in a state of creation and change. ‘Listening to the Mother’ completed in a forest on the Pacific North West coast of Canada was a year long land art project consisting of 12 site specific installations/sculptures. Focusing on themes of co-creation, ephemerality and deep mindful listening, this project has gained notice from local hikers, social media and is the focus of upcoming photographic exhibitions in 2024 and 25. Angela continues to create with nature’s materials in her home studio during inclement weather, and in and with natural landscapes around British Columbia whenever possible. Her fieldguide/journal book, Connections Through The Art of Nature, will hopefully be available this fall.

    Season 4 Episode 8: Let’s talk about ’Fat Bodies’ in Yoga with Dawn Lister and Lucy Bishop

    Trigger warning. This episode contains adult language and themes including eating disorders, body image and appearance. Please take care whilst listening. Not suitable for children. Contains swearing.   You might have heard the term "every body is a yoga body". Yoga should be accessible to everyone, regardless of shape or size. There is a huge amount of body shaming in the world and the yoga business versus the yogic community is horrifically entangled with it. Yoga can be intimidating and overwhelmingly associated with images of thinness. This is not a truthful representation of yoga or its benefits.   In this inspiring episode Dawn welcomes Lucy Bishop, an inclusive yoga teacher and movement specialist. Lucy first found yoga at a time when she had a difficult relationship with her body and eating. She felt connected to the practice but uncomfortable in the space, and looking back she can see the lack of modifications, accessibility and size diversity. Knowing the potential of an accessible practice and the lack of size diversity within the yoga community, Lucy decided to do her teacher training in India and has been teaching yoga since 2016.   We talk about Lucy's journey to becoming a yoga teacher, working hard and passionately to promote safe and inclusive spaces. Dawn and Lucy also discuss the false claim that promoting larger bodies in yoga postures means promoting obesity, diet culture's impact on the industry, how we talk to and about ourselves, and the experience of being a larger bodied person in the industry.    An important conversation to have, but together they help raise awareness on the need to acknowledge that things need to change within the yoga community and to allow everyone to feel included in their practice.   Lucy Bishop is an inclusive yoga teacher and movement specialist who has been teaching yoga since 2016. Lucy is a full time yoga teacher teaching in community spaces, studios, for corporate clients and lots of other weird and wonderful places. She also runs training sessions for teachers on inclusivity and size inclusivity and is fiercely passionate about making everyone feel welcome in the yoga space. Connect with Lucy at www.lucybyoga.com and on Instagram at @lucybyoga.     ***   From The Heart is a podcast from Dawn Lister, co-owner of the Dawn Lister Therapy Centre and owner of Anahata Yoga and Wellbeing Centre, both in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, UK.   This podcast series brings together inspiring people to have deep, profound and meaningful conversations about topical and relevant subjects that matter.

    Season 4: Episode 7: Second Spring: The self-care guide to menopause with Dawn Lister and Kate Codrington

    Dawn is delighted to welcome Kate Codrington back to the podcast. In this episode they continue their previous conversation surrounding menopause and to reinforce that what we need in challenging times is not shame or pushing through, but to treat ourselves with care and compassion.    Kate is the author of Second Spring: the self-care guide to menopause. Published by Harper Collins, it’s the first book to give a psychological map for menopause, one of the top ten self-help books of 2022 according to The Independent. Kate mentors people in perimenopause and beyond, 1-2-1 online, runs groups, nature-based Yoga Nidra sessions, hosts Life - An Inside Job podcast, has been a therapist for 30 years and creates multi-level art textile projects. When she’s not doing these things you’ll find her playing in her compost heaps.   "Perimenopause can sometimes feel like the rug has been pulled from under our feet and this can leave us feeling disempowered and lost. Second Spring is a new kind of menopause book, bringing the radical notion that with small changes and a clear-eyed look at what’s no longer serving you, you can reclaim your vitality and joy in life. This book offers a new vision for menopause, mapping the psychological phases and showing how this period in your life can be a time of personal growth. Like your slightly sweary best friend, I guide you through managing physical challenges with lifestyle changes and understanding what might be causing them. Whether you choose a natural route, HRT or a combination of both, there’s a wealth of self-care practices available here to soothe your symptoms. These include journaling prompts, practical tips, soulful enquiries and real-life solutions for managing symptoms with kindness, helping you to become the person you always longed to be."   Links: Katecodrington.co.uk Yoga Nidra for hot flushes https://mailchi.mp/katecodrington/hot-flush-nidra Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kate_codrington/   Warning: This podcast episode contains swearing.   ***   From The Heart is a podcast from Dawn Lister, co-owner of the Dawn Lister Therapy Centre and owner of Anahata Yoga and Wellbeing Centre, both in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, UK.   This podcast series brings together inspiring people to have deep, profound and meaningful conversations about topical and relevant subjects that matter.
