About Self Detective Club

The revolution cannot be televised - but it can be podcasted! How so? When words become ideas become insights become actions - we have our very own revolutionary process. The personal is the political. We wouldn't dream of imposing. But this club can be a springboard. So please take the jewels of wisdom from each episode and throw the rest in the bin. Who knows - in time you might become a contributor, not just a listener. Self-Detectives cannot be manufactured - but we can share our experiences. Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.

Brushes With Death

We have a process when it comes to death. We call it grieving. But there's not much going on, ritualistically speaking, when death brushes past us. In this episode we will be staying with these reminders, these close shaves. We have instances from poems, songs and prose. While Simon, your host, will also be sharing his own lived experience cheats, inspired by Maggie O'Farrell's non-fiction book I Am I Am I Am [https://stargazer-online.com/2021/05/09/book-review-i-am-i-am-i-am-by-maggie-ofarrell/].

May Wellness Calendar [Our Internal World]

How much of our internal world do we understand? Our thinking, feeling, actions? Our senses, hormones, nervous system? Would it be useful to delve into this world for the sake of our wellbeing? If so, listen up.

If the body expresses what the mind represses then we're going to need some somatic knowledge to help us out.

April Wellness Calendar [Relationships]

Isn’t just about everything we do based around relationships in some way or other? Aren’t relationships the source of 99.9% of all our happiness and 99.9% of all our distress?  In today's episode we are going to explore themes such as games people play, attachments, love, as well as substitutes of love. Here are some show notes that follow up on some of these themes...

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
