In today's episode of the Tranquil Awakenings Podcast, Debbie will be in conversation with Jo Dyer, a flower essence practitioner who believes in the importance of connecting in with your true self, your creativity, and your inspiration. After leaving a career in education, Jo became a gardener, exploring the unique essence of the plants she worked with. Over time, this passion grew, and she began to write poetry about the plants, learning more through her flower essence training. Jo, who is also trained in massage therapy and shiatsu, now works with others to identify the flower essences that can be used to benefit their well-being, combining her poetry as energetic medicine. Jo has kindly given our listeners free access to her online Aries course which normally values at £33 for the basic level.

BEST MOMENTS“I felt like a round peg in a square hole. I loved working one-to-one with the students, but I didn't like being institutionalized.”“And I started to say yes to my soul, you know, which these souls' callings that I had to sing, to act, so I was performing on stage, you know, this scared person found this performer and this singer.”“I found this course one day, I stumbled on this course that would train you to be an essence practitioner, but I didn't want to do the course to be a practitioner. I wanted to do the course to write the poems.”“I followed my soul's calling to be a gardener. And then I followed my soul's calling again to be an essence practitioner. And it's all about saying yes to your soul.”“I genuinely believe, and I have believed this for a long time that everybody, everybody would benefit from using essences.”“Do everything you can to become aware and to listen to your soul's whispers.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature.

This week Denise catches up with theatre, film producer, writer and political commentator Jo Dyer - where they speak about some of the top #auspol stories of the week including yesterday's late breaking news regarding Nine Chairman Peter Costello pushing a NewsCorp journalist to the ground at Canberra Airport. They speak about Laura Tingle and the predicable textbook NewsCorp pile on and what has sadly also become a predictable textbook and disappointing response from the ABC. They also look overseas with election outcomes in Mexico and India - and the train wreck continues for PM Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives in the UK. Another worthwhile chat for the week.

Good theatre holds a mirror up to society, forcing audiences to shine a light on the darkest corners and recesses of society. In these tumultuous times, it's easy to wonder where is our world headed, and how we might navigate the new obstacles that arise when we get there?  Fortunately, British playwright Sir David Hare, is no stranger to pondering these mind bending questions. During his illustrious career he has written over 30 plays often examining the machinations of British politics and institutions, and its these plays that have seen him named, “the premier political dramatist writing in English” by The Washington Post.   So how has writing shaped Sir David Hare's vision for where society is headed? And how might creativity unlock a way to adapt to what the future holds? In discussion with theatre producer Jo Dyer, David Hare speaks about his remarkable career as a playwright, and his creative plans for the future. This event is presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and supported by the Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture and Adelaide Writers' Week.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And she's running under the banner of the ‘Voices Of' movement, a loose alliance of independents campaigning all across Australia on the issues of climate change, integrity and women's safety – all of which the Prime Minister and his team are doing very little about, and seem to care even less about.Which major party forms government at the next election could be determined by independent candidates and there's a fair chance of this happening, with many in the electorate disenchanted with the Morrison government but unsure if the Labor Party will provide the direction the community is interested in.A conversation with Jo Dyer about her views on the current state of federal politics, why she's running as an independent candidate, why a vote away from the major parties is an important part of the democratic process, her background in creative arts, and how she hopes to be a voice for positive change in politics.

Jo Dyer is the director of Adelaide Writers' Week and an occasional columnist for our sister website The Shot – and she's just announced she's running as the community independent candidate for the South Australian seat of Boothby.
