  • Using Adventure with Purpose to Help Create a Better Society | Isaac Kenyon & Alex Pierrot on SECOND MIND

    Using Adventure with Purpose to Help Create a Better Society | Isaac Kenyon & Alex Pierrot on SECOND MIND
    Feb 21 2022
    We have all been there. You glance down at your phone whilst going about your day to see another headline about that world issue that you care about. Something rises up in you, a new energy that demands action and positive change. But as quickly as this spark arrived, it dims and vanishes as you move through the rest of your day. Maybe you sometimes wonder, what if I answered the call to action? My guests today, Isaac Kenyon and Alex Pierrot, are prime examples of individuals who have caught that moment of inspiration about a cause they care about and turned it into a positive and purposeful project that creates change. Isaac and Alex run Climate Explorers, a community interest company with the mission to highlight climate solutions, raise environmental awareness, and promote physical and mental wellbeing through eco-adventures in the great outdoors. ----more---- In 2021, Isaac and Alex were joined by 3 others to form the ‘Pedal 4 Parks’ expedition team and complete the world's first cycle over land and sea from Orkney at the northern coast of Scotland all the way down the UK to the Isles of Scilly. Being frustrated with the constant negative headlines surrounding climate issues in mainstream media, the team wanted to explore positive climate solutions and offer some hope by highlighting some of the great work going on in the UK to address climate change. On their adventure over land and sea, they interviewed 25 different companies, organisations, and non-profits all working so hard on ecological conservation, local community action and sustainability projects. They also raised £5000 for their main charity partner the National Parks Protectors Fund, a dedicated fund for vital nature conservation projects across the UK’s 15 National Parks. Their adventure also enabled them to shine a spotlight on the great work national parks are doing to preserve and regenerate wild green spaces. On top of all this, they even worked with a film crew to create a brilliant documentary chronicling the journey called ‘14 Days South: Over Sea and Land’ and were subsequently invited to speak at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021, sharing their learnings from the ‘Pedal 4 Parks’ project. Their journey is a welcome breath of fresh air amongst the barrage of alarming headlines that are becoming more and more regular as we continue into our climate and ecological crisis. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, all the way from the planning, mindset and teamwork that went into completing their epic ‘Pedal 4 Parks’ mission, all the way to Alex and Issacs’s relationship to nature and how it has aided their mental health journeys, plus much more. They have an infectious passion for projects that create positive sustainability change. I hope you can feel this energy yourself from the episode and nurture it so it grows in your own life. Sending good energy to you all and I hope you enjoy the podcast. Peace!

  • How to Restore Balance in Your Body and Mind | Dr Ian Tennant on SECOND MIND

    How to Restore Balance in Your Body and Mind | Dr Ian Tennant on SECOND MIND
    Aug 4 2020

    I am in conversation with Dr Ian Tenant, a wellbeing specialist helping people make inexpensive and simple choices that improve their health. With a doctorate from The University of Edinburgh in Clinical and Surgical Sciences and qualifications in sports massage and holistic lifestyle coaching, Ian works with knowledge on the frontiers of medical research to help his clients feel more energised and understand why the habits of healthy people actually work. Ian has previously worked as a researcher at the Medical Research Council Centre for Inflammation Research, but now helps clients face-to-face with health issues, including professional athletes and high-level entrepreneurs.----more----

    Ian has risen to conquer his own personal health challenges too, putting chronic digestion and sinus issues into long-term remission and learning how to manage a heart condition whilst still maintaining high levels of physical activity.

    We cover a lot of ground in the discussions, all based around Ian’s book called Restoring Balance. He presents a fantastic simple and accessible framework that we can use when assessing and working to improve our personal health. The framework contains six polarities, with the idea that we must individually work to find a state of balance that feels good for us inside each set of polarities. We break down the whole framework in our podcast, discussing the polarities of light/dark, feasting/fasting, connection/independence, movement/stillness, technology/nature and excitement/calmness. Ian tells us why each of these polarities matter, how they work and what you can do to restore your own sense of balance.

    Trying to live a healthy life can seem so complicated, as we are bombarded by so much modern information about improving wellbeing. What I love about Ian’s framework is that it’s refreshingly simple with a big picture approach. Whichever direction you travel in life, equipped with Ian’s six polarities model you should have a solid platform to grow and prosper.

    Enjoy & Peace

  • Why You Need to Reconnect with Nature | Faith Douglas on SECOND MIND

    Why You Need to Reconnect with Nature | Faith Douglas on SECOND MIND
    Jun 26 2020
    In the last 50 years, humanity has destroyed 50% of all wildlife on Earth. Currently, there’s more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere than any other time in human history, causing a climate breakdown. It is clear our modern society’s relationship with nature is heavily out of balance. Whilst all this destruction is occurring to our environmental life support systems, people in the UK spend an average of 90% of their time indoors, disconnected from nature. How can we value and respect something that we do not feel connected to? Enter my newest podcast guest, the brilliant Faith Douglas, who has made a career out of helping people with nature connection, a powerful process where an individual can use their senses to mindfully engage with the elements and environments of the natural world. Faith runs forest bathing courses in the UK and she is the curator for Thorp Perrow Arboretum, helping people to enjoy a special selection of tree species. She has recently completed her awesome new book called The Nature Remedy, a guide to help anyone connect back with elements of the natural world, from the sky to the earth to the trees. ----more---- In the podcast, Faith tells her story of how she found her connection to nature through her own personal challenges and started to work with forest bathing. She shares her tips on how to generate a connection with nature, using your senses to relax your mind and body. We cover many of the amazing scientifically-proven benefits of nature connection for mental and physical health and talk about the power of digital detoxing. The conversation also covers why a strong environmental connection is crucial to our society as a whole and features advice for those who have little or no access to nature. Faith is so passionate about nature and shares some great tips and knowledge for enhancing your connection to our planet. Do reflect on your own connection to the natural world whilst listening. When is the last time you took a moment to really notice and appreciate the flight of a bird or a great old oak tree in your local park? I invite you to keep your mind open, listen and enjoy.
