Description
Food. At it's most basic, we need food to remain alive. But today we'll investigate how food can function as the perfect mechanism for thinking, and re-integrating yourself into the lifecycle and life itself. Seems pretty wild, but these week's episodes will hopefully go a long way to break things down.In this fascinating solo episode, Jonny explores how the food choices we make everyday have a phenomenally important say in the quality of our life experience - from our sensory perception, to our thinking, to how we move, our restfulness and calm, our bodily functions and to how we feel on the inside. Human health depends upon food health that depends upon plant health which depends upon soil health. Interesting stuff!Jonny also takes the time to introduce Thursday’s guest, architect and leading thinker of food and cities, Carolyn Steel, with the hope that in establishing a connection with who we are beyond our ideas could well help us to find a deeper relationship with our food and bodies and more of life and vice versa too. At the end of the day, we are all in this together. In every meal, there is a chance to connect to everything.You can find out more about Carolyn and her work at: https://www.carolynsteel.com/Carolyn's is also on Twitter @carolynsteelIf you're a fan of Jonny's you can also follow him on socials:Twitter: @JonnyWilkinsonInstagram: @jonnywilkinsonofficial

What Am I… Beyond my Physical Self?: In today’s solo episode with Jonny, Jonny explores the way we seem to identify who we are so closely with our physical bodies and how this limits our search for what we are truly capable of being and creating. When we associate ourselves with the way we look and what we can do, what happens to who we are when our physical self is changed irreversibly and our activity restricted? Do we become less? Or can this actually be a doorway to revealing so much more? These fascinating questions lead Jonny to introduce Thursday's guest Henry Fraser - author, artist and inspirational speaker. Henry was a promising rugby player at The Saracens Academy before a dive into the sea on holiday in 2009 left him paralysed from the shoulders down. His story and insights are enormously powerful.
