Whispers of the Soul

Bees are far more than producers of honey. They are givers of life, constantly giving – and perhaps they have much more to teach us than we realize. In this conversation with Adrian Iodice, we enter the fascinating world of bees and natural beekeeping. We talk about swarming and the moment a new living organism comes into being, about how time can seem to disappear when working inside a hive, about the deep connection between beekeeper and colony, and about the way bees respond to our energy and emotional state. Adrian shares why he sees the bee colony as one living being, why entering a hive should be done with respect and gentleness, how bees communicate with one another, and what they can teach us. We also explore the old tradition of “telling the bees” – sharing important events in family and community life with them – as well as their role in the landscape, their many healing gifts, and the beautiful idea that as bees move from flower to flower, they are constantly bringing life and spreading love. And at the end, we come to one simple but essential question: **How can we make bees happy?** ### About Adrian Adrian Iodice is regarded as one of the pioneers of the Natural Beekeeping movement in Australia and is an internationally recognised natural beekeeping educator. He began with conventional beekeeping before travelling to Germany to study biodynamic beekeeping at the Mellifera Centre. Today, he teaches an approach that works with the natural biology and behaviour of bees, with a particular focus on Kenyan Top Bar Hives, courses and workshops across Australia.

In this conversation, you will meet Mare Cromwell — Gaia mystic, healer, award-winning author, and founder of the Great Mother Love Way. Mare shares her personal journey into a deep relationship with Mother Earth, her experiences of spiritual communication, and her understanding of how we can restore the connection with nature that our ancestors once lived naturally. We also explore: – the difference between loving nature and being in a conscious relationship with Mother Gaia – the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine – a healed partnership between the feminine and masculine – the intelligence and consciousness of water – communication with trees, nature beings, and the spirit realms – discernment in spiritual work – the importance of discipline, grounding, and regular practice – humor, joy, and returning to lightness – the Thousand Goddesses Gathering Global Grid and the Heart of Water Mare reminds us that reconnecting with Mother Earth does not begin with complicated ceremonies, but with recognizing her presence, opening our hearts, and becoming willing to listen again. “Mother loves you beyond words, and she is calling us home.” Learn more about Mare Cromwell and her work: https://www.greatmotherlove.earth Love Chord Meditation: https://www.greatmotherlove.earth This conversation reflects the guest’s personal spiritual experiences and beliefs.

What if your animal knows more about your inner world than you realize? In this conversation, I speak with Tammy Billups, a teacher, animal communicator, intuitive healer, and the author of four award-winning books. For almost three decades, she has explored the deeper intelligence of the animal–human bond and the many ways animals accompany us, reflect us, and support our healing. We talk about how animals may mirror our emotional wounds, suppressed emotions, physical issues, and relationship patterns. We explore separation anxiety, codependency, soul contracts, the higher purpose of animals, and why an animal’s behavior may sometimes change when we recognize or heal something within ourselves. Tammy also explains why animals often move through healing more quickly than humans, how we can offer them greater freedom and choice, and at the same time remain grounded, loving guides. Perhaps your animal does not need to be fixed. Perhaps they are trying to show you something.

Can Nature truly respond when we begin to listen? In this conversation, Dr Saskia von Diest shares her experience of communicating with animals, trees, landscapes, nature spirits and ancestors. We explore Nature communication not merely as a technique, but as a way of entering into a living relationship with the more-than-human world. Saskia also shares a powerful story from South Africa, where a group gathered to listen to the land while a wildfire was approaching the property. In this interview, we explore: – why the well-being of the Earth may depend on our presence rather than our absence, – the difference between observing Nature and entering into relationship with it, – how our inner state may influence animals and the landscape around us, – why Nature communication can become a path of personal transformation, – the role of the body, intuition, ritual and conscious presence, – and why true harmony does not mean being calm all the time. About Dr Saskia von Diest Dr Saskia von Diest is the founder of Ecofluency, an award-winning organisation offering education and consulting in Nature communication. She is also involved in research and activism in this field. Her interest in intuitive communication with Nature began in 2012 during her PhD in Plant Pathology. From 2014 to 2020, she held postdoctoral fellowships at Stellenbosch University in South Africa and Coventry University in the UK, where she investigated intuitive farming as part of the emerging field of subtle agroecology. Saskia has 15 years of experience in teaching and facilitation and works internationally with individuals and organisations, both online and in person. She is a co-founder of the Organisation for Noetic Ecology and a founding member of Nature’s Council. In 2025, Ecofluency received a gold award for innovation at the Eco-Logic Awards. Her passion is creating experiential opportunities for people to reclaim forgotten ancestral skills, rejoin the conversation with the rest of Nature, and contribute to personal transformation, planetary well-being and the evolution of our shared consciousness.

What lies hidden in the darkness we try so hard to avoid? And what if the shadow, pain, and uncomfortable parts of ourselves hold the key to deeper self-understanding? In this conversation with psychologist, teacher, speaker, and author Dr. Melissa Kim Corter, we explore the themes of shadow, darkness, pain, intuition, and inner transformation. We talk about why darkness does not necessarily have to be something evil, but can instead be a realm of the unknown where deeper meaning, wisdom, and parts of ourselves we once left behind may be waiting to be discovered. We also explore shadow work, defence mechanisms, people-pleasing, the ability to listen to our intuition, and the courage to face what feels uncomfortable. Melissa shares her perspective on how we can touch pain without becoming overwhelmed by it, why we do not have to turn it into something beautiful, and how we can learn to carry it differently. We also discuss how to hold contradictory emotions, why understanding the darker sides of human nature does not mean excusing them, and how much power can be held in the small choices we make every day. A conversation about how light and shadow are not separate worlds, and how learning to see in the dark can lead us towards greater wholeness, authenticity, and trust in ourselves. Topics discussed: darkness and shadow • working with pain • intuition • trauma and defence mechanisms • people-pleasing • boundaries • sensitivity • psychological manipulation • spiritual bypassing • everyday choices • healing and inner wholeness Dr. Melissa Kim Corter is a psychologist, teacher, speaker, and bestselling author. Her work brings together depth and Jungian psychology, shadow work, symbolism, fairy tales, myths, intuition, nature, and forensic psychology. She helps people discover the beauty and hidden potential within the dark and unexplored parts of the human psyche. Learn more about Melissa and her work: https://www.melissacorter.com

What can we learn from animals we barely notice? And what might change when we stop seeing them merely as passive recipients of our care and allow them to guide us instead? My guest is Dawn Wrobel — an animal communicator, teacher, author of Happy, Healthy Hedgehog, and a woman whose work brings together the world of animals, shamanic practice, Reiki, drumming, and smoke medicine. Dawn is best known for her many years of work with hedgehogs. She also works with many other species that are often overlooked — from rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets to snakes, bearded dragons, frogs, and even millipedes. In our conversation, we move from the playful world of hedgehog agility into deeper questions of the soul, healing, and our relationship with animals. We speak, among other things, about: • what hedgehogs have taught Dawn and why they lead us toward stillness and calm • why we should not overlook the wisdom and importance of even the smallest creatures • how shamanic animal communication can support animals that have experienced trauma • whether animals have spiritual stories and power animal guides • how animals may choose us for shared work • why a drum is more than a musical instrument and can become our “rhythm partner” • how a drum is created in relationship with the tree and the animal that provided the hide • how to recognise a drum that truly resonates with us • what smoke medicine is and the role it has played in traditional healing and purification • how to offer Reiki to animals without imposing our help on them We also touch on an important idea that runs throughout the whole conversation: animals have their own personalities, wishes, and the right to decide whether and how they want to receive our help. At the end, Dawn offers a simple practice to help us step out of the rush of everyday life, engage all our senses again, and begin noticing the small miracles around us. Because perhaps the world around us is not silent. Perhaps we have simply forgotten how to truly listen. More about Dawn works: https://dawnwrobel.com

What if rhythm was more than music—what if it was one of humanity's oldest languages? Why does rhythm bring us home? In this conversation with Christine Stevens, we journey beyond drumming. We explore why rhythm has been part of every culture throughout history, how it influences both our mind and body, and why it has the power to reconnect us—with ourselves, with one another, and with nature. Allow yourself to be inspired. Perhaps after watching this conversation, you'll begin to notice the rhythms all around you—the rhythm of your breath, the beating of your heart, your footsteps, the trees moving in the wind, or the waves of the ocean. *Perhaps we are not searching for a new rhythm. Perhaps we are simply learning to listen again to the one that has always been there. The one that gently shows us the way home.* Learn more about Christine Stevens: https://ubdrumcircles.com Listen to more of Christine's work: • / @ubdrumcircles • Drumming for Healing - Rhythm of Breathing... • https://open.spotify.com/artist/2mxo4Ru4QIOUwFLPMGlOP8

Naomi Amaya Love is a priestess, ceremonialist, mystic healer, herbalist, animal communicator, and founder of Wild Rose Ministry. For more than twenty years, she has guided people on a journey toward a deeper relationship with themselves, nature, the body, spirit, and the sacredness of everyday life. Her work weaves together ancient ceremonial wisdom, emotional intelligence, feminine spirituality, embodied practice, the wisdom of natural cycles, and a deep listening to that which lies beyond ordinary perception. We often search for healing. We look for ways to fix the past, free ourselves from pain, or find answers to the questions that accompany us throughout life. Naomi offers a different perspective. What if healing is not a destination we must reach? What if it is already part of who we are, and we have simply become disconnected from it? In this conversation, we explore themes of wholeness, sacredness, ceremony, our relationship with nature, and the courage to live in alignment with our own hearts. We speak about why we so often identify with our stories and traumas, the role of presence in our lives, and how ordinary everyday moments can become sacred. Perhaps it is time to pause for a moment. Perhaps it is time to stop searching. And perhaps, in that very moment, we may finally hear what has been waiting for us all along.
