Today I'm speaking with the sculptor, ceramicist, artist Paul Smith.   I first came across his work many years ago and have always been struck by the powerful quality of compassion that, for me, sits within the pieces he creates.Since then I've (joyfully) brought two of his pieces into my home - you'll hear more about what they represent to me... and how Paul keeps his own interpretation of his work open, so each person finds their own story within them. It was a joy to speak with Paul and I'm delighted he accepted my invitation to join us here.In our conversation, we explore the profound interplay between compassion, creativity, and masculinity. We touch on how true human connections, such as heartfelt hugs, are mirrored in creative works and the concept of gestalt, where intertwined figures symbolise both unity and individuality. And Paul shares his insights on the importance of compassion in our relationship with the natural world and the critical need to protect keystone species. His reflections highlight how creativity can foster a closer connection with our environment - as well as with our own emotional landscape. Toward the end of the episode, we come to understand this conversation is really about balance: balance in the beautiful work Paul shares, the importance of balance in nature and how we create balance across the different aspects in our inner and outer lives.I loved speaking with Paul. I hope you enjoy listening.MEET PAUL & see more of his work:INSTAGRAM: @paulsmithsculptureswww.paulsmithsculptures.co.ukREFERENCES:Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype, by American psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estés (My enormous apologies for getting her name wrong in the episode!)Sign-up for everyday ♡ compassion - (almost) daily messages of love https://hennyflynn.ck.page/everyday-compassion Explore Henny's coaching, books, retreats, courses & events https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/

La saison 2 commence en beauté, avec un invité passionnant : Louis-Albert de Broglie. Ce n'est pas tous les jours que l'on rencontre un prince.Encore moins quand celui-ci est surnommé Le Prince Jardinier, est passionné de nature, de transmission, d'histoire, mais qu'il est tourné vers le futur (ce n'est pas innocent que la devise de la famille Broglie est d'ailleurs « Pour l'avenir ! »).Ce prince iconoclaste, que l'on croise souvent pieds nus ou sur son vélo, aux yeux pétillants de malice et à l'allure élancée et unique, n'a de cesse de s'engager pour ses valeurs et ses projets : comment nourrir et éduquer nos enfants pour l'avenir. Une passion pour la transmissionLouis-Albert de Broglie a déjà eu plusieurs vies : il grandit à Paris, mais il a vécu en Inde, à Londres, au Mexique au début de sa carrière.En 1992, il rachète sur un coup de cœur le Château de la Bourdaisière en Touraine, où il créé dès 1996 le Conservatoire National de la tomate puis plus tard des micro-fermes.Très tôt, ses amis le surnomment "Le Prince Jardinier", comme la marque éponyme qu'il créé il y a plus de 29 ans. La vision de Louis-Albert pour l'AvenirC'est en rachetant Deyrolle en 2001, une institution scientifique et pédagogique basée au 46 rue du Bac depuis 1831, qu'il peut déployer toute sa vision, avec une assise scientifique forte.Il redonne à Deyrolle sa vocation initiale : la pédagogie. (on se souvient tous des affiches dans nos salles de classe en primaire, ou des planches sur la botanique, la géologie, l'anatomie…)Deyrolle dont le triptyque est « Nature, Art, Education», produit des livres et des publications, des expositions, des recherches et du conseil qui constituent aujourd'hui un écosystème cohérent et très inspirant, qui va jusqu'à l'aménagement des territoires avec Deyrolle Territoires. Au cours de cette conversation avec Louis-Albert, nous avons exploré l'art de l'attention :sa vision de l'attention,l'attention au corps,le rapport à la nature,l'émerveillement,le rapport au temps,la transmission,l'éducation et le rôle de l'art,la beauté du geste,la poésie,et bien d'autres choses encore... Un grand MERCI à Louis-Albert de Broglie pour cette merveilleuse conversation. Découvrons ensemble comment Louis-Albert de Broglie conjugue l'art de l'attention au présent.Hébergé par Ausha.

Have you ever wondered how some makers seem to be able to do it all so damn well? They single handedly run what appears to be busy and successful businesses while creating high volumes of work, that their fans snatch up as soon as the pieces becomes available. They have a large, engaged Instagram following… and why wouldn't they? They even do Instagram so well… consistently sharing their work, their lives, and their loves in the most authentic way that leaves you simply wanting more of everything they have to give. Laura Niblack, aka The Wild Pine, is simply one of those artists that I look at in wonder and today I get to sit down with her and ask how in the heck does she do it all? Believe I have questions. Laura discusses the importance of batch work, what helps her move through challenging times, and the marriage of her love of nature and as her experience as a wilderness guide with all the beauty she creates.  If for some reason you don't know Laura, be sure to head over to her Instagram. But give yourself some time because I know you won't want to leave.  About Laura... Laura creates jewelry inspired by the vibrant, colorful landscapes of the backcountry, shaped by her own experiences of finding adventure and solace in the flora and fauna of the wilderness. She uses recycled silver, incorporating colorful stones that have been curated with intention from all over the world. She has a particular affinity for turquoise mined in the U.S.- vibrant and natural, straight from the earth and into your hands. Laura has purposely chosen to utilize traditional methods of metalsmithing: using simple tools and a torch to craft jewelry. This gives each piece a rustic feel, boldly showing the evidence of her own two human hands that have lovingly created a piece of art just for you. Each is one-of-a-kind and unable to be perfectly replicated again. Laura's hope is that her jewelry will become treasured heirlooms, serving as small reminders of the awe-inspiring beauty of our natural world.  Follow along with all of Laura's adventures and see her creations: Instagram: @thewildpine Website: thewildpine.com If this podcast means something to you and you would like to support it, please take a a moment to give it a few kinds word with a written review on your favorite podcast listening platform.

Today I'm chatting with the very talented Nisa Smiley! We touch on so many good things like allowing trust and joy to be your guide in life and your art. I can certainly get caught up in the mind chatter telling me to be mindful that I need to make work that will pay the bills.  We also talk about the artistic and emotional value of our work to our customers. Although we don't spend a lot of time on this topic, I really think it's worth paying attention to. About Nisa... Growing up in northern New England, Nisa spent her early years in the beautiful woods and mountains, but her draw to the seaside has been present all along. At 18, she left her beloved mountains and moved to the coast. Decades later, she is still there, entranced by the inexhaustible abundance of inspiration from her natural surroundings. Nisa earned her BFA from the Maine College of Art in 2000, and then settled in Downeast Maine soon thereafter to start her family. In 2006 she founded NISA Jewelry, and since then her work has been shown in juried fine craft shows, galleries, private trunk shows, public shows, and published in multiple books and publications. She is also a seasoned teacher, and loves assisting others in their creative pursuits. She has taught countless private and public workshops, for both older children and adults, and is a certified Precious Metal Clay instructor, as well as a Master for the Craft Apprentice Program (Maine). These days, Nisa can often be found in her sunny studio in downtown Ellsworth, Maine (if it's summer, she can also be found at the beach, or at the J.McVeigh Jewelry gallery in Stonington, Maine), immersed in a plethora of organic found objects, gemstones, and precious metals. Her studio is not public, but visits by appointment are most welcome. Her latest work can be found in select galleries, as well as on her website and social media accounts (Instagram and Facebook).

Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be published by Inner Traditions.

            Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.” Sometimes, we need artists to remind us how to see well, and how to “rightly consider” what lies beyond the surface of nature. In this episode we feature two artists whose work helps us to see beyond the surface of the created world. Our first conversation  will be with poet Lenae Nofziger, and the second with wildlife photographer Alycia Scheidel. You will find examples of their work in the podcast show notes at www.circlewood.online/earthkeepers. We begin with Lenae reading three of her poems, in a series called “Branches, Leaves, a Life.”  Welcome friends, to the Earthkeepers podcast.To see a printed version of Lenae's three  poems, go hereSee also a link to her writing page at lenaenofziger.comTo see Alycia's photos, go here See also a link to her photography website AlyRenScapes

This week's Open/Ended conversation features Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, a multidisciplinary artist who examines the relationship between humans and nature through exobiology, synthetic biology, conservation, and biodiversity. Using artificial intelligence and virtual reality as primary means of expression, much of her practice-led research has focused on the human desire to ‘better' the world. At present, she is working on a new permanent artwork commissioned by the Eden Project in Cornwall and funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation, with additional partners Gaia Art Foundation. By taking part in a national project to save endangered species of pollinator insects, Daisy's artwork, developed in dialogue with horticulturists, scientists and consultants, seeks to help us understand the vital roles of indigenous plants and their pollinators. In this Open/Ended conversation, we speak with Daisy about empathy for non-humans, hierarchies in nature, and experimenting with technology to visualise possible futures.Website: daisyginsberg.com edenproject.com openended-design.org

In this week's episode, I had the deep honor of speaking with Rona Fernandez, a 2nd generation Filipino-American, about her grief journey and the death of her beloved daughter Naima. She highlighted ways that various "containers" can support our grief process (e.g., space, time, nature, ritual, writing, art, sharing memories, social media, meaningful support and connection). She also offered some specific examples of ways in which we can explore and cultivate our own containers, especially when existing structures are not in place or do not resonate with us. Rona reads an excerpt from her powerful writing, "The Ritual," and shares how holding space for grief is important for both individual and collective healing. We also talk about ways we can fully support one another in grief rather than bypassing or adding to the burden of each other's grief, including being mindful of "grief dumping" without permission, and finding ways to repair when we misattune or unintentionally hurt people who are grieving. Rona is an incredible light in the world whose work, writing, compassionate advocacy, and unbounded love for her daughter, Naima, continues to promote healing not just for bereaved parents, but for us all.

The very act of creating art is the art. Creative Contact is when we do so, together. Creative Contact helps us truly tune into (and understand) each other. And, when we do it right, we integrate life, humanity, place-making and nature.  We can redefine what public spaces mean—and how we experience them. And sometimes, it’s the little things that matter the most.  Creator of public art Mac Love of ART x LOVE and Shanelle Smith Whigham, Vice President, Sustainability & Social Impact at KeyBank and former State Director of the Trust for Public Land in Ohio, join host Craig James in this episode of Big Audacious Idea. Together, they discuss community living and how unique approaches to human engagement can help us cope (and support each other) during a pandemic—and beyond.

According to Plato, the "really real" could never be destroyed or created. Aristotle holds that they can be created from previously existing form and matter, and that this can happen by nature.His arguments for this are pretty subtle, and are necessary for refuting idealism and asserting the reality of the physical world.

SONIC ACTS ACADEMY 2020 T. J. Demos – Beyond the End of the World 22 February 2020 – De Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Celebrated writer T. J. Demos rarely leaves a seat empty at his talks on politics, ecology and art, often attending to decoloniality within nature. His most recent book addresses the occlusions embedded in the academic use of the term ​‘Anthropocene’ (human-caused planetary change) in shielding problems as opposed to opening inroads for change made accessible by artists. This presentation discusses the ongoing research and exhibition project, Beyond the End of the World, directed by T. J. Demos of the Center for Creative Ecologies at University of California, Santa Cruz (beyond​.ucsc​.edu). In the wake of the end of multiple worlds, we already live in a post-apocalyptic present following countless genocides and colonialisms. With reference to diverse traditions of the oppressed, this year-long research project addresses what lies beyond dystopian catastrophism, past and present end-of-world narratives, and how we can imagine and cultivate radical futures of social justice and ecological flourishing. T. J. Demos is an award-winning writer and Professor of Visual Culture at University of California, Santa Cruz and Director of its Center for Creative Ecologies. He writes widely about contemporary art, global politics and ecology and is the author, most recently, of Against the Anthropocene: Visual Culture and Environment Today (2017) and Decolonizing Nature: Contemporary Art and the Politics of Ecology (2016). Demos co-curated Rights of Nature: Art and Ecology in the Americas, at Nottingham Contemporary in 2015 and organised Specters: A Ciné-Politics of Haunting, at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid in 2014. He is currently working on a Mellon-funded research, exhibition and book project dedicated to the questions: ​‘What comes after the end of the world?’ and ​‘How can we cultivate futures of social justice within capitalist ruins?’ #politicsandart #ecologyandart #anthropocene #future #experimental art

One of my favorite episodes of this show was my conversation with Jenny Odell, just under a year ago. Odell, a visual artist, writer, and Stanford lecturer, had just released her book How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy and we had a fascinating conversation about the importance of maintenance work, the problem with ceaseless productivity, the forces vying for our attention, the comforts of nature, and so much more.  A lot has changed since then. Odell’s book became a sensation: it captured a cultural moment, made it onto Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2019 list and became, for many, a touchstone. And then, a global pandemic hit, radically altering the world in ways that made the core themes of Odell’s work more prescient, and more difficult. What happens when, instead of choosing to “do nothing,” doing nothing is forced upon you? What happens when all you have access to is nature? What happens when the work of maintenance becomes not just essential, but also dangerous? So I asked Odell back, for a very different conversation in a very different time. This isn’t a conversation, really, about fixing the world right now. It’s about living in it, and what that feels like. It’s about the role of art in this moment, why we undervalue the most important work in our society, how to have collective sympathy in a moment of fractured suffering, where to find beauty right now, the tensions of productivity, the melting of time, our reckoning with interdependence, and much more.  And, at the end, Odell offers literally my favorite book recommendation ever on this show. And no, it’s not for my book.  References: My previous conversation with Jenny Odell on the art of attention "The Myth of Self-Reliance" by Jenny Odell, The Paris Review "I tried to write an essay about productivity in quarantine.

Blake Richardson lives in Peterborough, near Toronto, and his work is not only deeply inspired by our rich Canadian landscape but is entirely connected to the spirit of nature itself.I feel that Blake is a really important artist for our times and this is why I want to invite him on this podcast. His EarthArt imagery serves as an exercise to encourage and inspire others to stay open and receptive. He attempts to raise awareness that what we see is a reflection of ourselves and when we see ourselves reflecting in nature we strengthen our connection to the Earth.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/gaiaorion)

Listen to chip Taylor’s Joan’s song, driving to my mountain, art walk in my universe.

We'll explore how to nurture children's creative intelligence, ways to incorporate nature into learning experiences and more with Marghanita Hughes. Marghanita is a nature art teacher, an award-winning children’s book author and illustrator, a naturalist, and founder of the “Let’s Go Outside” Revolution. “I grew up in a home where art, nature and books were the stuff of everyday life. My parents, both art teachers, allowed me the freedom to roam wild and my young mind was free to wander, explore and discover in the beautiful country-side of Scotland. That sense of awe and wonder has never left me. It’s what drives me to explore more, not just in art and nature but in life itself. The more I discover and learn the more I wish to share. I believe if we inspire a love for nature in a child, it will lead to a desire to protect it. My overwhelming goal is to nurture the Body, Mind and Spirit in each child in my classes I teach and indirectly through the teachers in my workshops.” -- Marghanita Hughes
