Reading Time: 7 minutesThis week I have done a total overhaul on my office work space. I’d love to say it was purely from a place of productivity and freeing myself of distractions, but in truth it was also a form of procrastination. Oh the irony of the modern age; using productivity tools and practices as a wayContinue reading “Learning to Forgive Yourself – Showing ourselves love and compassion”

Life Lessons From The Mountain Top
Reading Time: 8 minutesThis time last week I was trudging up and down our local mountain as part of my 48 hour Everest challenge. The aim was to push myself to my physical limits whilst raising money for our local mental health charity, S.T.E.P.S.

Ancestors, Gurus, and Teachers
Reading Time: 8 minutesThroughout life we meet an endless stream of teachers to help us on our own individual journey through existence. These might be teachers at school, or an instructor of some skill, belief or practice. They could equally be family members, friends, or total strangers. They could be icons, heroes or legends. They could be non-human,Continue reading “Ancestors, Gurus, and Teachers”
The Good Life – The search for Happiness
Reading Time: 8 minutesFor over 2 decades our friends have made reference to Kelley and me being like Tom and Barbara Good from ‘The Good Life’. Between our veg beds, our fermented foods, our home-made and upcycled clothing, and our desire to try and live closer to the way nature intended us to live, I’d say that theContinue reading “The Good Life – The search for Happiness”

We often view the endeavours of theContinue reading “The Meathead Philosopher – Reuniting physicality with philosophy”

Why?Continue reading “The Mental Mountain – Glenn’s Birthday Charity Challenge”
Getting High, Misogi, and a request for help..
Reading Time: 7 minutesLong before we had kids, if ever we had a problem to solve or a big decision to make, Kelley and I would get high. Literally. We would head out to the hills to sit atop the peaks in the hope to eventually resolve the struggles we were facing. I think the reasons this wasContinue reading “Getting High, Misogi, and a request for help..”
Getting fizzy with fermented drinks- Water Kefir
Reading Time: 6 minutesI am not wholly human. In fact less than half of my body’s cells are human. I am a symbiote. And so are you. Now, I’m not talking about the likes of Venom, a dark, oppressive, controlling relationship between you and that thing that you share your body with. It’s more like those god awfulContinue reading “Getting fizzy with fermented drinks- Water Kefir”
