Episode Description

Do you ever wonder what people mean when they say retreats hit different?

How? Aren’t they just an indulgent holiday that’s been organised for people with deep pockets desperate to get away from it all?

Not entirely true... sure the bulk of the organising and planning has been done on a retreat allowing you to lounge back and relax...

But the difference is in the PURPOSE.

Retreats are for those wanting to improve the quality of their life in some way. To become happier, to feel healthier and more energised etc which means people are becoming more selective in how they take their time out.

This episode highlights the value of retreats and why I think everyone should go on one and experience the benefits at least once in their life!

I share why I personally choose to invest in retreats and how they’ve helped me make changes in my life.

And… why I’m excited to soon start hosting my own!

Against the Grain: The Farm Aid Podcast Jessica Ilyse Kurn and Michael Foley “Against the Grain” is the Farm Aid podcast, designed to bring the magic of Farm Aid’s annual festival to listeners year-round. Listeners will hear from artists and farmers, advocates and food experts, activists, and policymakers–all of whom are working towards building a more just and equitable farm and food system. Farm Aid’s Jessica Ilyse Kurn and Michael Stewart Foley will take you all over the country, from Farm Aid’s backstage to rural and urban farms and farmers’ markets. There, you’ll meet citizens fighting the industrial agriculture giants, holding the government accountable, and shifting the culture towards a food and farm model that is better for farmers, the planet and for all of us. This season, in our series Artists and Activism, we’ll talk to more than two dozen artists who are using their art and their voices as vehicles for political engagement and expression on issues that matter to them – and to all of us.Learn more at www.farmaid.org/podcast Against the Grain, or Against Nature by Joris-Karl Huysmans Loyal Books “THE BOOK THAT DORIAN GRAY LOVED AND THAT INSPIRED OSCAR WILDE”. Such is the enticing epigraph of one early translation of Huysmans’ cult novel of 1884, which is also routinely called the Bible of Decadence. Accurate descriptions, both, of this bizarre masterpiece which has reverberated ever since through high and popular culture. “Against Nature” (or in this version “Against The Grain”) explores to the furthest limit the life of the world-rejecting aesthete living a reclusive existence devoted entirely to artificial paradises of his own devising. This is no solemn tract, however: the book’s anti-hero Duc Jean Floressas Des Esseintes spectacularly fails to achieve his life’s work, as all his attempts to create worlds of perverse experience through synaesthesia and interior decoration prove ludicrously unsatisfying and injurious to health. An innocent tortoise also falls casualty to his theories, in the wonderful fifth chapter.
