My guest in this Episode is ecological artist, Anna Murray.
Anna was first on the pod, back in 2018, in Episode 8.
She's also co-founder and creative director of conscious design studio Patternity, established on a core belief that a shared awareness and understanding of life's many patterns can create more regenerative and connected ways of living.
Eight years on Anna returns to Spaceship Earth for a conversation recorded beside the waters on the land at Ghostwood Down.
This conversation explores Anna’s work as an ecological artist and creative human finding her way through these times by learning to trust her intuition, commitment to creative practice, and the power of connection and community.
What if water is more than resource, but one of our oldest teachers?
Together with the stream alongside us, we go on a deep, babbling, meandering exploration of what it means to cultivate a deeper relationship with water, not simply as something we need to protect, but as something that has always shaped who we are as human beings.
From rivers and rituals to beauty, creativity, loss, and grief, we reflect on the quiet practices and the deeper listening that help us remember our place within the living world.
Anna shares the personal and creative journey that led to her new platform, Wellspace, and her first immersive exhibition, The Waters Are Speaking.
This is an extraordinary tale of persistence, emergence, trust, and co-creation with human and more than human collaborators and why creating spaces of awe and reverence may be just as important as raising awareness in these unraveling times.
This conversation is an invitation to slow down, to notice, to make time for beauty, and perhaps to rediscover that changing our relationship with the world begins by changing the way we participate in it.
Water is the obvious subject, but this conversation isn't really about water. It's about remembering relationship and interdependence with all life through water.
As two neurodivergents, this was a long conversation, but one I absolutely loved.
There's much in here, and I so appreciated the chance to really explore the tributaries, pools, puddles, and the flowing rivers of our minds, rambling and yarning together.
I hope you enjoy this, and if you get a chance go and visit Anna's exhibition, It will be wild, I'm sure.
