It being 30 seconds-slash-a month ago that we last recorded, here we are again. So hello you!
Louise did her homework, so we plunge into aliefs as a type of embodied experience that can contradict with consciously held beliefs and Neil finds a link to Somatic Marker Hypothesis.
Writing worms its way into the conversation: Louise talks about rejections and giving herself permission to explore the creative process of writing. Neil drops an absolute gem
“You are exactly where you need to be in your life’s journey.”
and gracefully shifts the salon into a more contemplative register.
SHINY THING ALERT! Towards the end of the cast Louise is excited to talk about and share her latest poetry collaboration ‘Pomegranates in Luton’ – link to the video below.
We invite you into our salon: Listen here.
