Summary
Artist, researcher and author Veda Austin joins us this week. She talks us through her healing journey with water, as well as some of the amazing artwork she creates from and with water.
Along the way, we discuss what water actually is, that it is far stranger than we typically realise and the implications of living in a world which responds to our thoughts and emotions.
Please note: This is a very visual episode, as Veda takes us through some of the art that informs her upcoming book, The Secret Intelligence of Water. You can certainly follow the discussion on the audio version but it is highly recommended you watch the show on YouTube.
