Making Honey in a Hail Storm

01. Intentions for the Intangible: Introducing some elders, wisdom + founding principles

Hey honeys, [A note that in this episode there are some creaks and peeps from the friends up stairs. Thanks for your patience while I work on this and I completely understand if this impacts your experience listening – it's a-okay if this means it's not for you or for now x] In episode one, I set the scene of where we meet each other along my creative journey, and then I introduce three texts that have been foundational in my posture toward climate justice and wellbeing. I hope they offer you some grounding and peace like they have me.

It fills the cup I pour from. I acknowledge the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of this Country. I pay my respect to their elders, past and present, as well as their ancestors, human and non-human. Always was, always will be. 🍯 Credits Music — Jack Robbins Photography — Joshua Maxwell De Hoog

00. A Manifesto — Season One

I'm a big believer in north starts and find myself writing manifestos often, maybe it's my design education. Either way, I adore their temporal nature, they are for the now. So this is the manifesto for this season of 'Making Honey in a Hail Storm'. May it meet you. And if you too are feeling terrified, you are not alone. Curiosity and creativity are here too.
