Finding Your Right Mind — with Vanessa Potter

Join my 'consciousness road-trip' where I delve into the many ways we can help ourselves live less frenetic and stressed-out lives. With regular guests, I'll discuss different 'mind practices' from mindfulness, yoga, compassion, bodywork, forest bathing psychedelics — no practice is off bounds. I'll talk about the science behind each practice, what it's really like to experience, the pitfalls and challenges and how we can discover our own wisdom. If you want to find out what made me quite so curious about mind and body practices, check out my book "Finding My Right Mind: One Woman's Experiment to put Meditation to the Test", (Welbeck 2021) Got questions or topics you'd like me to cover? contact me at www.vanessapotter.com

    Go Jauntly: Walking a different path...

    In this interview I talk to Sage from Go Jauntly (which is a walking App) about the different ways we can walk - whether it's alone or with friends or family. Go Jauntly is a start up, providing tons of digital mapped walks via their App. We found huge crossover with what we do at ParkBathe - their members experience some of the clarity and calming nature of forest bathing too. Check out their nature notes and Green Care Code, which are really great ways to discover and bring nature into your...

    Street Wisdom: Take the first step...

    This episode is a real treat. I had an inspiring chat with Rachel Crowther from Street Wisdom, the social movement, that gets people from all around the world walking, looking at and experiencing their local streets in a whole new way. Have you ever taken yourself off the beaten path - just to see what you might find? If not, try it sometime. If you'd like some hints on how to do this, you can use the short audio prompts provided by Street Wisdom. The idea is that the 'idea' (or whatever...

    Lil Stevens: Casting light on fossils, ferns and the prehistoric legacy of Dino Island.

    Welcome to another ParkBathe conversation where we dig down (literally) into nature and conservation. This episode features Dinosaur island and a fascinating area of research, namely, paleo planting. I talk to Dr Lil Stevens from the National History Museum about the ancient-looking ferns found on "Dino island" inside Crystal Palace park. Dino Island got its name because it is found in the middle of the lake and is surrounded by famous (and super cool) dinosaur monuments. It's pretty ha...

    Joanna Bristow-Watkins: The inside scoop on Forest Bathing

    This week I am sharing a fascinating chat with Joanna Bristow-Watkins, a forest bathing guide based in Surrey. We talk about what it's like to be a guide and what benefits there are to be gained from forest bathing in an ancient woodland - from evoking childhood memories via the limbic system to why rain is just SO awesome. Joanna and I get into the science of forest medicine and also some of the common experiences reported by people who have gone on her walks. Some of which might surprise yo...

    Emily Finch: Using Art to see the Wood from the Trees

    Today I’m sharing a poignant and at times, emotive interview with Emily Finch as she describes her deeply personal and intense relationship to trees. London-based artist, Emily has always had an affinity to the natural world, but this took on a new meaning when she experienced an unexpected tragedy. Here at ParkBathe, we know that trees are amazing (check out our dedicated TREE EPISODE in series 3 called Geeking out on Trees) but we can all gain an additional layer of insight when we lis...

    Louise Montgomery: Digging into our relationship with nature

    I really wanted to share this interview. Although it was recorded just after the last lockdown, so much of what Louise talks about is relevant today. We discuss plant blindness - how 'not noticing' the evidence of nature around us renders us blind to the natural world. If we can learn to notice our local trees or wallflowers - even a hedge on the walk to work - we start to forge a relationship with nature, which leads to pro-conservation behaviours. We discuss the relationshi...

    Stefan Batorijs: The language of nature and a cathedral made of trees.

    Welcome to series 4!We are kicking off this series with a thought-providing conversation with Stefan from Nature and Therapy UK, where he combines a mixture of ancient wisdom with modern science to help people navigate their lives more effectively. Stefan and I talk about the language of trees, how sometimes they give us the words we can't find for ourselves and how nature reflects our own inner landscape far more than we realise. This interview was one of the many we used for series 3, ...

    ParkBathe: Rewilding, conservation and thinking like an Environmentalist.

    Welcome to the episode 7 of our ParkBathe podcast, getting our hands dirty as we dig into conservation, environmentalism and giving back to nature. What is conservation? What is ReWilding? Kirsten and I shed some light on these topical themes and ponder if activities like forest bathing encourage pro-environmental behaviours. We hear from conservationists, environmental and re-wilding experts at Rewilding Britain, and Trees for Life and find some helpful ways...
