To end this season, I would like to share with you something that touched me deeply, a dream walk that was originally exhibited as a sound installation in an art exhibition called Revealed, in Melbourne in 2017. You can find it in Tyson Yunkaporta brilliant book Sand Talk: How Indigenous Thinking Can Save the World. Tyson recently published his new book ‘Right Story, Wrong Story’, and if you haven’t had a chance to check out his work, I highly recommend it.
I invite you to sit or lie down in a comfortable position, close your eyes and simply follow my voice.

Imagine waking up one day and realizing that you've been dancing to the wrong tune your entire life. It's a jarring moment of truth, one that begs you to break free from the ordinary and embark on an extraordinary journey.
For me, that moment was a catalyst for change – a signal to disrupt the status quo and set off on a path less traveled. Because sometimes, the most sensible thing is to sell all your belongings and buy a one-way ticket to Japan.
With each step, each new horizon, my inquiry grew. It wasn't just a matter of traveling miles; I was excavating the layers of my own beliefs about success, existence, and the very nature of creation. The more I traveled, the more I questioned how we construct our lives and our spaces, and the profound resonance they hold in shaping our well-being.
Here it is, a solo episode. Where I peel back the layers of my evolution.
A transformation awaits – and who knows, within the cadence of my words, you might just find the daring to pose your own uncharted questions.
So, shall we dance?
