Creative Adventures
A podcast for people who are interested in cultivating meaning, purpose and a deep sense of interconnection in life and spiritual practice.
I chat with a series of friends and co-creators about meaningful, impactful and fun projects in action.
In each episode we cover the ethos behind the projects and some of the practical tools and structures that were put in place to make them happen.
You can listen on Anchor or on Spotify.
Episode 1: Work Made Meaningful Part 1, with James O’Halloran
My background is in project management and I specialised in creating environments where people and teams can thrive. James is an executive coach who is passionate about helping people find or create their perfect job.
In this four part conversation, we chat about how work can make life meaningful and how your career can be an opportunity to self actualise.
We also bring into the conversation how this can intersect with spiritual practice and ultimately improve the world for everyone.
In this first part we talk about making room for failure, the importance of knowing yourself, lego serious play and creating a better world through meaningful work.

Episode 2: Work Made Meaningful Part 2, with James O’Halloran
In part two we talk about creativity in meditation, clarifying what success looks like to you and finding belonging.
Episode 3: The Making of a Short Film, with Eamon and Lucy Bourke
Eamon, Lucy and I created short film together.
This episode is an intimate conversation about the themes that arose from our collaborative film-making process and ultimately how we felt that it was an expression of meaning, connection and friendship.
It also contains some potentially contagious laughter and some graphic conversations about menstruation.
Eamon is a professional film-maker and you can read more about his work here.
Episode 4: Starting a Sangha, with Joost Vervoort
My friend Joost tells the story and inspiration behind the sangha that he started, which is called the Dharmagarage, and we discuss how it has become a community for shared adventures and explorations into dharma and meditation.
