Bear Hugs - Part 1

Introducing Tide to the Moon

Tide to the Moon is a story-filled dose of contemplation on being human. Join host Kate Lawrence, a practicing storyteller, meditator and vaguely pagan nature lover as I share my playful and reflective musings on navigating this ‘one wild and precious life’. Together may we be reminded and inspired to find deeper meaning, joy and reverence in the waters of existence.

Announcement of Coming Home

This is to announce a new podcast by Kate Lawrence - ‘Coming Home’. It is a 6-part narrative and political podcast about women’s homelessness, made in conjunction with Juno.

Bear Hugs - Part 2

Bear Hugs - Part 1

This episode we have two interviews. The first is with Pat who lives in an aged care facility in Woodend where they have of course, been locked in for months. Then we hear from Bernadette who has a daughter with an intellectual disability, about how covid has unfolded in her world.

Don’t Give Me a Microphone

Linc Yow Yeh, Mt Macedon resident and Murri man, is our interview guest this episode, and we have a rich and wide ranging conversation. Then we hear a story by the beloved and late Gene Roberts, told in Woodend a few years ago. In Dancing with Democracy we take a look at layers, hierarchies and bureaucracies of government and finally we get some great advice on how to introduce and improve a volunteer program.
