For this Special "Double" episode my guests are Eva Hillered and Patrick Rydman. They are both performing Singer Songwriters, Musicians, Theater Makers and as we discuss they are Songwriting Retreat Facilitators! I had the privilege of attending this summer's retreat on the Greek Island of Crete. You'll hear us discuss positivity, vulnerability and the importance of community as we explore their approach to songwriting. At the end there is a mini-example of a song circle and you'll hear offerings from Eva and Patrick.

I am so blessed to be a part of a creative community where I can invite artists such as my guest Daniéle J Minns. Their creative output spans film projects, writing, dancing and martial arts as a starter list. I contacted Daniéle after seeing a short film Death and Beauty created in collaboration with Yolande Brener who I interviewed in the prior episode. Later I attended an amazing workshop entitled Question and Dancer. Daniéle's engagement and commitment to their authentic expression is beautiful to behold. Daniéle also shares an original poem and a song "Beautiful Idea".

My guest Yolande Brener currently in New York was introduced to me by a UK artist Daniele J. Minns. I saw their short collaborative film Death and Beauty and contacted Daniele who introduced me to Yolande. I so love meeting new artist friends through the lens of creativity. It is such a rich and delightful way to explore thoughts and ideas and feelings. Yolande has so many ways of expressing herself. She provided an insightful look at how to keep creativity central and bouyant in her life and she also inspires this same encouragement for her students. To find out more about Yolande:

My guest is Writer and Storyteller Dougie Strang. We discuss his new book The Bone Cave (A Journey Through Myth and Memory). Dougie has wonderfully captured an amazing camping adventure incorporating place names and ideas from Scottish folklore and at the same time shared his love and kindness seamlessly with ecology and his own personal history — magically as the folk tales themselves. I felt invited in traveling right alongside Dougie , and I’m so thrilled to invite you into our conversation! To find out more:
