Broadcaster Helena Nicklin launches new lifestyle podcast Flock & Hive to investigate where science and spirituality meet and to redefine the Art of Living
Flock & Hive will explore things you always wanted to know more about as well as things you didn’t know you wanted to know - like how journaling can heal physical wounds, how certain mushrooms help with focus, what are the benefits of GABA technology drinks? And what does our handwriting reveal about us?
Episodes 1-3 and the website launch on Wednesday the 6th of March. Sample episodes and articles are available here
London 6th of March 2024: In the Flock & Hive podcast, real life sisters, drinks writer & broadcaster Helena Nicklin and artist Lizzie Cane, come together in the second half of their lives to challenge old beliefs from their very traditional upbringing and ask honest questions about how the world works. Neither being 'woo woo', they discuss science alongside holistic therapies and elements of spirituality as well as taking lessons from other cultures to see how we can all improve our experience of life.
They will have conversations with different experts every week from university professors to psychic mediums, which range from hacking the senses to stave off dementia, somatic sex therapy and the psychology of colour to how to build a functional fragrance ‘wardrobe’, past life regression and why kinesiologists can heal you remotely while you’re asleep.
Speaking on the series Helena says: “As mothers in our forties with young children, we felt we could finally start unlearning some of the old thinking from our shared childhood that really doesn’t serve us anymore and take a deep dive into the more holistic stuff that was always pooh-poohed growing up to see what we might be able to start using for our own good.”
Lizzie adds: “It’s clear that a huge part of society globally has been yearning, like us, to get back to a simpler, more connected human experience. There has never been such immense interest in more natural ways of healing ourselves and exploring what else is ‘out there’ beyond what traditional science can explain and we want to find out for ourselves how things work.”
Some of the expert guests include:
Prof. Barry Smith - talking about how our senses interconnect and how that knowledge can be used for good.
Graphologist, Emma Bache - talking about the secrets hidden in our handwriting.
Prof. David Nutt - discusses GABA technology in drinks and the science behind your hangover.
Feng Shui Consultant, Kristina Hollinger - shares how you can use Feng Shui to manifest a better future.
Somatic Sex Therapist, Emily King - talks about empowering women through somatic sex therapy.
Fragrance writer, Suzy Nightingale - shares how to build a functional fragrance wardrobe.
Kinesiologist, Amanda Brooks - discusses how kinesiology can work at a distance.
The podcast is supported by a magazine website with related articles, a newsletter and social media network that aims to build a community who loves to keep learning and share their experiences with others.
