Ripple.

Tracing routes and scaffoldings of hope.

We hunt stories at the intersection of Pain, Power and Purpose. Not answers, but embodied experiences of people who, faced with challenges, storms and fear — made doorswhere others saw only walls. We believe these stories can be medicine in times of real or perceived dead ends. For when we feel there’s no way through — may these stories ripple.

Confirmed guests include

A survivor from 4+ years of detention and torture

after being kidnapped, who came back without PTSD because of his specific lineage of buddhist practice.

An activist who survived being shot 5 times by the police

a for someone else, who now leads restorative work between law enforcement and local communities.

A 16-generation Samurai and lineage holder

who is translating ancient Samurai traditions into practices for modern times, to help people recalibrate their state and find their center

A Sufi composer, singer and voice trainer

who specialises in voice work that brings us where we stored tension and pain, in order to un-armour and reattune to life’s intelligence

... and more.
