Where from Here

In order to make meaningful lasting change, we have to be able to think differently. Only through thinking differently can we act differently and make new choices. However, when we are often so habituated, where can we obtain those new cognitive frameworks? Louisa Clarke (www.louisaclarke.co.uk) an Executive Coach, Speaker, Author and trainee therapist is regularly asked by clients for follow up materials to her talks, coaching or workshops. Consequently, Louisa has curated a library of hundreds of books that can support a more profound understanding of the Self with models and practises that can guide in making decisions, filtering out the noise and experiencing life with greater ease and equanimity. Join Louisa as she walks you through her library of luminosity.

From the mustangs of the States to the stories of Black Beauty, horses have always transfixed. Powerful, beautiful and attuned to the needs of the herd, this exquisite animal has carved over the years a special relationship with humans.This partnership is not just about riding, racing, dressage or working a farm, it’s deeper than that as my discussion with Lisanne Peters, Equine Therapist will evidence. As Lisanne will share, a horses heart is 7 times bigger than a human's. That means when horse and human interact, the horse is able to evoke that which is beyond the conscious attention of a person and so often the very emotion, pattern or material that they need to be aware of the most.Lisanne is the co-founder of the Red Horse Foundation (www.https://www.redhorsefoundation.org/), a Centre for Equine assisted Therapies and Natural Horsemanship. Based in the South West of England, the foundation is in the very heartland of the most beautiful countryside, allowing for a true healing commune between human, horse and nature.If you'd like to support Lisanne, her team and the Foundation's amazing work, please go to their website where you can donate.

Urban noise, work stress, domestic pressures, all of these can strip daily life of calm, quiet and silence, key elements for making lucid decisions and being able to sustain deep and concentrated attention. Floatation tanks or initially sensory deprivation chambers, were  invented by Dr John Lilly in the 1950s. The impact expected was not what was experienced, namely in no way was it claustrophobic or panic inducing, rather it was powerfully relaxing and rejuvenating. Now celebrities, scientists and actors alike including Graham Hancock, Joe Rogan, Taylor Swift all eulogise on the benefits of a float. In this episode Louisa Clarke will speak to prolific Author, Business Consultant and Executive Coach Jeremy Kourdi (www.kourdi.com) who shares his own personal journey with Floatation, from sceptic to convert.

Psychedelics have surged back into popular awareness. The days of ‘tune and drop out’ have long since passed and there is now a serious recognition of the profound palliative if not curative effects of the likes of Ayahuasca and Psilocybin. These plant medicines provide magnificent insight into the workings of the mind, often resolving agonising conditions such as PTSD and clinical depression, alongside unforgettable peak experiences of touching the divine or even ego death. Jennifer Tessler (www.jennifertessler.com), co-founder of Psilocybin retreat provider Alalaho (www.alalaho.org) talks to Louisa Clarke about Psilocybin ceremonies, what they can provide, how to prepare and even more, the striking partnership psychedelics can offer to a long time meditation practise.

Episode 1: Constellations-unravelling the mystery of family patternsSometimes in Families we can find ourselves drawn to certain careers, patterns and behaviours that eerily echo the choices, good or bad of our ancestors. These subtle threads can be almost beyond conscious awareness, but still cause frustration and suffering. Constellations is an extraordinary intervention that can bring into tangible awareness the origins of family dynamics, what they mean and how to achieve resolution. Join me with expert Constellator Robert Rowland Smith (www.Robertrowlandsmith.com),  as he takes us through what Constellations entail, what you can expect and how impenetrable questions can be solved.
