New episodes every week, from studios, living rooms, forest clearings and lakes, rivers.
Episodes
In this episode, we meet Avril — artist, dancer, earth-dweller — whose creative life is shaped by land, lineage, and movement. We speak about the wildness within, the softness it takes to stay open, and what it means to belong to a place, a people, or a body.
This is a story about healing through motion, ritual, and deep listening — to nature, to ancestors, and to the self.
In this episode, we sit with Debi- 46 years young, a queer non-binary truthteller, a fierce soft soul, they speak of the power of language, vulnerability, and reclaiming voice. We talk about writing as survival, as liberation, as an offering. About queerness, emotional honesty, and the body as both battleground and bloom.
This is a story of becoming; not in big declarations, but in every word we dare to say aloud.
In this episode, we meet Ruchi — singer, listener, and soul of many silences. We speak of the voice not just as sound, but as sanctuary. Of growing up queer. Of the pauses between performances. And of the quiet courage it takes to choose softness again and again.
This conversation is a note held gently — between breath and belonging.
In this episode, we sit with Sully — builder, tender-heart, and dream weaver — as we talk about the artistry of creating spaces, reclaiming stillness, and living queerly in a world that often demands masks.
From quiet revolutions to tiny rituals, Sully reminds us that creative living is not just about what we make, but how we hold ourselves while making it.
Come in close. Listen soft. This is another story of living heart first.
In this quiet, soul-deep conversation, Hansika reflects on what it means to soften into your own skin, embrace your queerness, create in silence, and grieve with grace.
This is a story of coming home — not to a place, but to oneself; to one's own heart.
