In this episode, we discover joy as a gift and a necessity as we meet Sergeant Pami, explore the process of self-mastery, and journey through different stories, reflections, and practices.

Connect to yourself and get ready to create your own joy.

In episode #5 of the Conscious Creators series, we talk to multimedia artist Reinier.

Under the moniker “REINDIER”, he just started a new adventure. His brand-new project Obsidian // Silk will be released as a stage production, album and short film.

In episode #3 of the Conscious Creators series, we talk to creative business owner and international relocation coach Paige van der Wolf.

In this podcast, we uncover some underlying elements and strategies you can use to start changing your life, whether you move across the world or stay right where you are.

If you are ready to set some intentions for 2021, this podcast is going to help you get started!

In episode #2 of the Conscious Creators series, we talk to songwriter, music teacher and choir conductor Marlou Vriens.

As a talented artist and a kind human, Marlou teaches valuable life lessons through the power of music. She shows how we can model social justice in our immediate environment, and reminds us that we can both find our own voice and amplify others in the process.

Her own songs had always been a refuge, but one day the expectations of others leaked into the bubble she had created for herself, and Marlou stopped writing. It took a few years of empowering other women before she found her spark back, and she promised she’d never let it go again.

She recently graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in Aalborg, and released her album Vəʊkəˈliːz. She’s ready to share her own voice with the world, and now there is just one question left:

“How do you feel about it?”

Love,

Flora

In episode #1 of the Conscious Creators series, we talk to upcoming artist and songwriter Jordi Martin.

As a guitarist for Sam Feldt, Jordi got to tour the world and play in front of amazing crowds. In between private jets, expensive evenings, and more rock’n’roll, Jordi found out that his happiness didn’t lie in any particular corner of the world.

In the blazing spotlight, he discovered his shadow. Finally facing all parts of himself, Jordi found acceptance, rediscovered his passion, and - as he explains in his latest single - “I was getting to know me”.

Love,

Flora
