Salwa and Selma Mikou are the founders of Paris-based Mikou Architecture. Born in Fez, Morocco and educated in Paris, they have spent the last two decades reimagining the relationship between the built environment and the cultural landscape.After honing their craft under two of the world's most iconic architects, Jean Nouvel and Renzo Piano, they founded their own studio. For them, architecture is a living interaction with landscape and what they call the Atlas of Resonance, interpreting the hidden layers of a territory, geology, memory, and craft. It is a philosophy that rejects the generic, seeking instead to weave together technological innovation with local materials. Whether it is a mosque in the north of England or a hybrid innovation hub in a former royal manufactory, their work asks a fundamental question: How does space shape the way we think, learn and remember? They were selected by Rem Koolhaas to represent Morocco at the Venice Biennale. Most recently, they were commissioned by Hermès to create a 17,000-square-meter facility that bridges industrial performance with poetic expression. At the heart of their practice is a belief that architecture is not just about building—it's about shaping relationships: between people, between past and future, between technology and craft.(0:03) Architecture as a Living Transformation(1:42) The Intuitive Knowledge of Living Art(2:20) Preserving the Human Core of Expression(3:14) The Medina and the Geometry of Childhood(6:35) The Social Spaces of Rooftops(8:27) The Twin Dynamic and Confrontation with 'l'autre'(10:21) Contextual Echoes & Traces of the Site(12:12) The Temples of Water(13:15) The Mosque as Pure Spatiality(15:49) Building Culture with Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Bergé(16:57) The Wast ed-dar (وسط الدار) and the Heart of a Building(18:31) The Smells and Sounds of Home(19:44) Balance, Nature, and SisterhoodEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

Send us Fan MailToday I'm sitting down with Charlie Baldwin — a breathwork and meditation teacher with the Art of Living Foundation, over 1,000 hours of teaching experience, and a real gift for bringing these practices to people who never thought they'd be interested. He's taught in prisons, firehouses, universities, and retreat centers in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and he has a way of making ancient wisdom feel completely relevant to modern life. I really loved this conversation.Charlie's path began with a book his mom left in his dorm room — Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth — and a breathwork retreat he almost didn't go to when he was considering dropping out of college. Within six weeks of beginning a daily practice, everything shifted: more energy, more confidence, and the overwhelming things in life became manageable. Nine years of teaching later, he is one of the most thoughtful and non-dogmatic voices in this space.What we cover:Charlie's personal origin story — how a book his mom left in his dorm room and a retreat he nearly skipped changed the entire direction of his lifeBreathwork in law enforcement — how Charlie and a fellow Art of Living teacher began offering programs to community leaders in North Carolina, how the police chief had a profound experience, and why this demographic has become so receptive to these practices right nowSky Breath Meditation (Sudarshan Kriya) — the rhythmic breathing practice Charlie has taught for nine years, featured in James Nestor's book Breath, and what makes it different from other breathwork approachesTechnology, overstimulation & Vata imbalance — a rich conversation about how the optimization of social media for endless scrolling has created widespread nervous system dysregulation, and why breathwork is one of the most powerful resets available to usApps vs. in-person learning — where technology genuinely helps people enter a practice, and why certain teachings carry an energetic transmission that cannot be fully replicated by an appWhy wellness habits don't stick — the two things Charlie has seen make the biggest difference: community and the willingness to have faith before proof arrivesThe breath-emotion connection — the simple but profound insight that every emotion has a corresponding rhythm of breath, and that this street runs both ways: we can use the breath to shift our emotional state, not just the other way aroundThe straw breath — Charlie leads us through a beautiful, portable breathwork practice specifically designed for anxiety and overwhelm. Five or six breaths, and you will feel it.Connect with Charlie & the Art of Living:Art of Living Retreat Center, Boone, NCArt of Living Part One Course (Happiness Retreat)Instagram Books mentioned:Breath by James NestorA New Earth by Eckhart TolleResources:Free Masterclass: The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

In this tender and intimate episode of This Cosmic Life, I sit with one of my dearest friends and long time teachers, the storyteller and nature keeper Jill Olesker. Together we wander through the wild terrain of folktales, lived experience, and the way stories move through our bodies like rivers remembering their source. Jill speaks about the art of gathering stories from the land, from people, and from the quiet hidden places where truth rests. Her presence brings a grounded mysticism, inviting us to listen in a slower and more reverent way. This conversation is for anyone who feels called to remember the stories that shaped them, the stories that shape the earth, and the stories waiting to be spoken again. About Jill OleskerJill Olesker is a storyteller of the land and of the lived heart. She gathers folktales, nature tales, and the real stories people carry in their bones. Rooted in the Hudson Valley, she is one of the quiet keepers of its nature based storytelling traditions. Jill is a mother to a beautiful grown son, and she offers her stories as an act of reciprocal care for community and earth. She is currently creating a living body of work called The Waterstories, inviting people to remember, honor, and share their own water born memories. You can connect with her at waterstoriesshared@gmail.com to learn more about her offerings or to share your water story. I'm Tara Samadhi, and it is my joy to welcome you into This Cosmic Life. I walk a path as a mystic, a spiritual friend, an oracle, and a lover of the sacred. My own journey has been shaped by deep devotion and radical healing, and along the way I have gathered wisdom from Umbandaime, Sacred Medicines, Tibetan Buddhism, Esoteric Hindu Traditions, Non Dual Shaiva Tantra, sound alchemy, and the ancient mystery schools.This podcast is a space where we weave those threads together, not as concepts but as living practices that open our hearts and awaken the Shakti within us. Through mantra, through sound, and through soul filled conversation, we remember that we are divine beings having a human experience.Here, nothing is outside of the sacred. We come together to explore the pathless path, the wild and mysterious unfolding of transformation, devotion, and awakening. My prayer is that this space becomes a sanctuary where you feel seen, inspired, and invited to walk deeper into the truth of who you are.Website: https://tarasamadhi.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tarasamadhi/
BREEDER FEATURE PODCAST: Manny Vierra, Valley Oak Arabians • In this heartfelt episode, lifelong Arabian horse breeder, Manny Vierra of Valley Oak Arabians, shares his experience learning about and loving Arabian horses. For nearly five decades, Manny has been building a legacy rooted in passion, purpose, and an unshakable love for the Arabian horse.Manny shares how a single filly in the late 1970s sparked what would become a lifelong pursuit of excellence — eventually leading him to create one of the most beautiful Arabian horse facilities in Northern California. He opens up about his hands-on approach to breeding, the influence of Polish and European bloodlines, and his belief that Arabians are living art — beauty, balance, and soul in motion.From traveling across Poland and Europe to standing world-class stallions like Pryo OSB and Hercules EA, Manny's journey is filled with unforgettable stories, valuable lessons, and deep gratitude for the horses and people who've shaped his path.With humor and humility, he reflects on what new breeders can learn, why integrity matters most, and how the Arabian horse community continues to bring people together across generations and continents.
This week's Tea Talk is a little different — it's just you and me, heart to heart.No guest, no script — just some honest reflections on community, creativity, and the ever-evolving dance between the two.I've been thinking about how community has changed for me — not as a social construct, but as a creative act. As something we build with our voices, our stories, and our willingness to be seen. I want to hear from you — the creators, the visionaries, the quiet dreamers — and connect more deeply.I'm also sharing a glimpse into my latest creative act: a cozy sci-fi story born from the intersection of imagination and belonging — where art and soul activism meet stardust and hearthlight.This episode is an offering — a reminder that soul activism isn't just protest; it's creation. Every time we choose to live and make from love, we shift the collective frequency a little higher. Explore more of my work:Join me on insta: @arielgracefull

In this episode of Art Unpacked, three FIU students dive into the world of conceptual art through the case of Sol LeWitt's wall drawings. We explore questions of authenticity, ownership, and whether art can still be “original” when it's meant to be erased and redrawn. With research, sound design, and a laid-back conversation, we challenge what it really means to create—and recreate—art.Music Credit (if used): Calm Music (No Copyright) "Dawn" by @SappheirosLinks to an external site.
Hallmark is back with its Kansas City “Christmas Experience,” aiming to top last year's 100,000-guest debut by doubling down on comfort-food tradition—workshops, red-carpet movie premieres, and even themed Marriott suites. Philip and Scott unpack how leaning into safe, repeatable rituals can turn a pop-up into a pilgrimage. Next, Meow Wolf launches Phenomenomaly, a summer-long loop of live dance, puppetry, and guest interaction inside its Las Vegas and Denver exhibitions—proof that adding performers keeps ticket-buyers coming back for a second trip, rather than treating the art as a one-and-done selfie stop. Finally, Chicago's big museums roll out a multisensory slate—projection-mapped Himalayan “ghosts,” a Monet-Hokusai mash-up, Mars-rover missions, and 21-plus stargazing nights—showing how after-hours programming can drive per-cap growth without requiring permanent capital expenditures. Takeaway: Whether it's Christmas nostalgia, locally led art, or adult evening events, operators have fresh levers to boost replayability and spend beyond peak season.

When life's path becomes difficult, and it feels like your heart has been tread upon, this book is designed to renew your inner strength; to help flowers bloom in the saddest parts of you. This book is designed to bring forth the inherent goodness and immutable awesomeness that is YOU. Filled with over 150 original inspiring poems and short stories, each themed with a soothing photograph in color, this book can be read from front to back, or simply opened to a page and enjoyed at random. NY Times Bestselling Author Dr. Bernie Siegel (the paternal grandfather and previous co-author of Charlie Siegel) shares about this book, “What Charlie has put in his book is the truth and I can't stop being stimulated by it. Charlie is speaking the truth about what makes a difference in people's lives. They start doing what is their authentic choice and not what is imposed upon them by others. They change their body chemistry when they do that and become their own authentic self; no longer living a life imposed upon them. What Charlie has put together are the essential healing ingredients we all need to be aware of and practice. Charlie has always been ahead of his time with his awareness and inner wisdom, and his desire to share them with others and help them to thrive is the kind of person he is.” Awakening the Inner Light comes in with a broom and a smile, to clear away the doldrums and shake out the sadness. Not only imparting joy or teaching a spiritual outlook, this book is designed to awaken the ability within you to perceive your own greatness. It is designed to help you find that there is a glowing place of peace and strength living right there, within your heart. Filled with timeless spiritual concepts that are being presented in a new and original way, this book is made to be a healing tool. As the author shares, “I have heard that spiritual teachings come around in each age, to be presented to the people in a way that is accessible and helpful for them. I dream of being a piece of this process, to share the spiritual lessons I have been given in fun, enlightening, and entertaining ways, to bring all people in touch with the greatness inside them. When we all remember the peaceful power of our own soul, and that we are all a piece of something greater than us (in nature and in the Universe), we can come to live in harmony – with ourselves, and with others.” Charlie Siegel has always been inspired by the great Rumi's poetry and the way he cracks open our perceptions of the world which had been harmful to us, to uncover a Light and inspiration underneath. Reading it is like breaking free from a wall that was limiting our view of the Light in the world. As such, the works of Charlie Siegel often express an inherent “awakening” quality, which take the reader on an uplifting and healing journey. Others are written with an ode-sense, honoring nature and all it has to teach us. Other pieces include short quotes or multi-page stories, all with the purpose of helping the reader to feel better. His first book “Conversations with an Angel: A story of healing through the passageways of grief” was released in 2017 and his second book, “When You Realize How Perfect Everything Is”, which is co-authored with his grandfather, NY Times Bestselling Author Dr. Bernie Siegel, was released in 2020. His third book, “To Become a Living Art: The life story of Roy Shingen Goldberg Sensei” was released in 2022, with the Revised Edition being released 1 year later in 2023. Charlie is also a professional fine art nature, wildlife and landscape photographer, and has featured a few images of his work of the northern lights over Iceland on the cover and some of the final pages within his first book, as well as fully illustrated his second with a variety of his photographs. Some of his images from Japan are also featured in “To Become a Living Art.” His photography is available and visible on social media (Facebook and Instagram) by searching @NaturePhotobySC and can be purchased in a variety of prints and merchandise on his website www.NaturePhotobySC.com He can be contacted directly on there to ask questions or to discuss anything in regards to his works. His social media focused on his written works is @AuthorCharlieSiegel on Facebook and Instagram. Charlie was raised in a spiritual environment, honoring nature and respecting the Universe. This expresses itself in his writing, where he blends fantastical experiences with everyday life, to help people to find the magic and inspiration surrounding them and within themselves. Charlie has also been training in the martial arts since he was 4 years old and shares through the life story of his teacher how one can find success through passion, heart, grit and determination. He shows how the martial arts can transcend self-defense and become a powerful vehicle to learn to connect within yourself and with the world around you. With a background in inspirational poetry, his work often has a soothing flow to it, with a use of original and descriptive metaphors that paint a picture for the reader, not only of the scene involved, but of the meaning therein. His works are often archetypal, designed to connect with issues or struggles many may experience, and offer help and guidance to work through it and learn the lessons life can teach us, efficiently and effectively, while allowing you to get lost in the story at the same time. He hopes you find his work to be comforting and healing and invites you to explore his photography pages on social media to further see his works to uplift the soul and spread The Light.

Tips from the renowned Vivamayr clinic on how to have a healthy gut; plus audits set in stone from the Accounts of the Acropolis This week we start with a news review with Sasha Kehoe, where naturally the focus is on Trump's inauguration, and the direct flow of executives orders from that point on. The conversation continues to Bettel's comments on his time working with Trump; who is leaving X and Stargate. In other news, we have the continuing, if fragile, Gaza ceasefire, Chancellor Olaf Scholz's response to a fatal knife attach in southern Germany, Oscar nominations, the return of wolves to Luxembourg and other Luxembourg news. Vivamayr - the basics of gut health Vivamayr is a renowned, world-class medical health resort in the south of Austria, surrounded by a beautiful lake and mountains. Its primary focus lies in a holistic approach to health, emphasizing proper nutrition, gut health, detoxification and healthy aging. The resort has a team of medical and holistic health experts who follow the decades old principles of F.X. Mayr plus more modern additions. Dr. Werner Zancolo is the Head Physician at Vivamayr since 2021. He is a medical doctor specializing in gut health, holistic, and complementary medicine. “Our goal should be to help people maintain their health and support them in aging healthfully.” In this interview, even thought the technology didn't allow us to see him, he talks us through what we can all do in 2025 and beyond to help our gut heath, and therefore our overall health. Dr. Zancolo talks about the need to eat a mostly plant based diet, with one third animal or other products. He says that about 30% of the population has ‘leaky gut syndrome' which can be easily diagnosed with a stool sample. This can actually lead to depression due to lack of serotonin. The focus of food is on developing a two thirds alkaline diet, minimising caffeine and alcohol, but everything in moderation. Fasting is good to reboot our cells into a sense of autophagy and cleaning up the internal systems. If we were to skip one meal a day it should be dinner, and we shouldn't eat raw food in the evenings, nor fruit. Naturally, exercise, minimising chronic stress, adding meditation, good sleep… all of these are necessary for a healthy long life. Perhaps we know this, it's just good to be told again from a doctor. Accounts from the Acropolis Damijan Fišer from the European Court of Auditors joined us once more to talk about a unique exhibit which has just opened at the European Court of Auditors. Courtesy of the Acropolis museum in Athens, the ECA now proudly hosts the accounts of the Acropolis from over 2000 years ago. On 23 January, the ECA President Tony Murphy and Nikolaos Milionis, ECA Member from Greece, unveiled an exhibit which comprises unique copies of the financial accounts for the construction of the gold and ivory statue of Athena which stood at the centre of the Parthenon. These stone slabs (steles) contain the complete accounts of revenues and expenses of the construction. The unusually large sums of money recorded may have implied that the gold employed in the construction of the statue of Athena Parthenos could be used as a state reserve for emergencies. Art is also increasingly being used to improve working environments and engage with ‘ancestral intelligence'. Get in touch Contact Lisa on LinkedIN or other social media platforms.

To Become a Living Art: The Life Story of Roy Shingen Goldberg Sensei with Charlie Siegel Delve into the profound and empowering life of Roy Shingen Goldberg Sensei: a life encompassing the values of cultivating inner growth, self-discipline, and eternally striving to be the best version of oneself. His eventual success as the highest-ranking non-Japanese practitioner of the ancient samurai martial art of Daito Ryu Aikijujutsu is only a part of his incredible life story. As you read through from his humble beginnings in the 1950s to today, Roy's sense of humor, relaxed storytelling, and infectiously invigorating inner drive will begin to feel like speaking with an old friend. Written by one of his private students and a bestselling author of multiple books, Charlie Siegel, this book is filled with Roy's personal anecdotes and observations, and firsthand stories by Charlie and many of Roy's other students, friends, and family. Roy Goldberg shares his life story here as a means of expressing the message that we can all become our best selves when we set our minds on a path of greatness. As this book shares, life's myriad experiences are not setbacks or roadblocks; they are merely steppingstones that make us stronger when we climb over them with a shugyo mentality.

Bonsai is an artform unlike any other in the amount of time, dedication and patience it takes to see results. It's a form of sculpture that can take years to see how your efforts will take shape. Bonsai trees can be centuries old and require very special care to keep them beautiful and healthy. And that's where Darren George comes in. Darren describes himself as a bonsai practitioner. On his YouTube channel, Gro Bonsai, you'll learn what it takes to grow and maintain bonsai trees, and see the meticulous care and attention needed to restore neglected trees. The irony of bonsai, as Darren puts it, is that “we go to great lengths to make it look like the tree was never touched by human hands.” And maybe that's why watching the craft of bonsai is so fascinating…watching this blending of nature, human ingenuity, and art.

Frank Payne is a biology teacher, former AZA herpetology zookeeper, and the founder of the reptile breeding operation, Living Art by Frank Payne. In this episode, we discuss the importance of both, keeping a wide variety of species and narrowing your focus to a select few. Frank explains why he has decided to focus on small species and the main differences he sees between keepers and breeders. We also discuss some incredibly underrated species in herpetoculture, the ethical issues with keeping medium to large species, and we learn specifics about a few of his breeding projects, including the genus Draco, i.e. flying lizards.
