Episode 5 Higher Masculine, Higher Feminine & the Path to Balance
In this episode, we explore the inner masculine and feminine parts of ourselves, the lower and higher expressions of these energies, and the path toward inner balance. We speak about how these dynamics shape our relationships, creativity, confidence, and sense of self, touching on nervous system regulation and the ways these parts emerge when the body feels safe enough to express them. We also weave in personal stories around lineage, inherited patterns, and the ways these dynamics ripple through generations. Together we reflect on how we begin to shift these patterns, bridge the gap within ourselves, and move toward greater balance, inner peace, and ease in this life. Alongside the conversation, we share gentle tools for becoming aware of and processing these aspects within ourselves, as well as a short art therapy meditation — so you may want to pull out some pencils and paper. We reference teachings and terminology learned through HeartMath and HeartMastery around the higher and lower masculine and feminine aspects. With gratitude for the intro and outro music by Wayne Joseph Kington from the album Self-Portrait.Explore more of his work at Wayne Joseph Kington and Facebook page This podcast is created and recorded on Bundjalung Country, with deep respect and gratitude to Elders past, present, and emerging.

Episode 4 Creativity as lineage, liberation and lifeline
In this episode, we explore the primal need to express and create, and reflect on the many ways women have historically been restricted or deprived of that freedom. We speak to creativity as something that lives through us — as lineage, as liberation, and as a lifeline. Inspired by The Artist’s Way, we took ourselves on an artist’s weekend away, reconnecting with our own creative rhythms and practices. We share the joy of witnessing other women’s art and how deeply it inspires us, particularly during our visit to the exhibition Dangerously Modern: Australian Women Artists in Europe 1890–1940 at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.Featuring over 200 works by 50 trailblazing artists, the exhibition offered a powerful glimpse into the courage and creative force of women across time. Oceana reflects on a painting by Emily Chapman, depicting her husband fallen on the battlefield of World War I. We were also deeply moved by the all-women Indigenous dance troupe Jannawi Dance Clan and their performance Garrigarrang Badu at the Sydney Opera House as part of Sydney Festival 2026. We touch on two films that honour the lives of women artists:Séraphine, directed by Martin Provost, about French painter Séraphine Louis, and Maudie, directed by Aisling Walsh, about artist Maud Lewis. Poetry shared in this episode:“I didn’t trust it for a moment” from Naked Song by Lalla (translated by Coleman Barks)“To Failure” from Breathworks by Laura Jan Shore With gratitude for the intro and outro music by Wayne Joseph Kington from his album Self-Portraitwww.waynejoseph.com.auhttps://www.facebook.com/waynejosephkington This podcast is created and recorded on Bundjalung Country, with deep respect and gratitude to Elders past, present, and emerging.

Episode 3 The dance of love and relationships
In this episode we speak about romantic love and the dance of relationships. How we meet another, and how we are met in return. We explore soulmates, lust bombs, online dating, love, and conscious uncoupling, reflecting on how love is experienced and understood across generations. What does love look like when viewed fifty years apart? The episode also features poetry woven through the conversation: “The Lie” by Laura Jan Shore, from The Generosity of Birds (Concrete Wolf Press, Louis Awards Series, 2024). “What It Means to Be Met” by Oceana Piccone. And an excerpt from “On Love” by Kahlil Gibran, from The Prophet (Knopf, 1923). We are grateful for the intro and outro music from Wayne Joseph Kington from his exquisite new album, Self-Portrait. www.waynejoseph.com.au If this episode stirred something in you, you are welcome to explore more of our work.
