Wanderful - Inspiration On The Go

By: David Pearl
Listen for free

  • Summary

  • Wanderful the podcast is created and hosted by arts-in-business innovator David Pearl to help you bring a bit of wonder to your walking. Inspired by David’s not-profit social movement Street Wisdom that brings free guided in-person and online walking workshops to city streets in 80 countries and counting. Each episode takes an entertaining and light- hearted look at an aspect of life we all secretly struggle with or want to get better at: optimism, creativity, relationships, wealth, direction… you get the idea. We’ll start the walks by exploring the everyday challenge in the company of an entertaining and refreshingly, imperfectly human, guest. Then, following simple instructions provided by David, the walk becomes a way to get clarity, insight and learn new skills you can use every day to help you find answers to your life questions. All you need is some headphones and a phone so you can get outside and walk whilst listening, but if you are tuning in at home then walking (slowly) inside your house, also works well too. You can dig deeper into the power of wandering and getting off the beaten track in David’s book Wanderful: Human Navigation for a Complex World available at leading bookstores.

Starting things is terrifying and wonderful and interesting, so am I a beginner? I’m a 60 year old beginner of everything.” Tom Morley “The Clash sung ‘I fought the law and the law won.” I would love to re-mix that and call it ‘I fought the law and the people won.’ We have to stand up for our eroding rights.” Philipp Blom “The coffee you buy (in the cafe) is in fact not a cup of coffee: it’s an entrance ticket. It entitles you to sit there as long as you want… that means of course, that things can develop and you can sit there and watch people, and sit there and read your novel or sit there and write your novel. It’s such a luxury in today’s world.” Arne Gast “ I see that my (S) curve is flattening when i become at ease; when I feel like I got this, I like this, that’s the moment the inner voice starts saying… hmm.. let’s do another near-death experience, start anew somewhere.” Satish Kumar “Whatever you see… is divine, is sacred. There is no separation between humans and nature and no separation between God and nature. This is the beauty of Indian culture: everything is God, everything is divine, everything is nature. This is what I learned from my Mother.” Carl Honoré “In the blink of an eye, I went from goal-scorer to Grandad… age took on this terrible power… defining and limiting me. I just thought this can’t be right. Why was I feeling a door was being slammed in my face just because of the numbers on my birth certificate?” Holly Cullen-Davies “Singing is proven to release endorphins in the same way as exercise is and it’s proven to release more endorphins when you do it with other people and I just see these people light up.” Links Libby DeLana Web: https://libbydelana.com/ Twitter: @parkhere Instagram: @parkhere This Morning Walk: https://www.thismorningwalk.com/ Tom Morley Website: https://tommorley.com/ Twitter: @TomMorley Instagram: _tommorley_ Philipp Blom Blomcast: https://blomcast.buzzsprout.com/ Website: https://philipp-blom.eu/cms/en/ Arne Gast Website: https://aberkyn.com/humans/arne-gast/ Satish Kumar Website: https://www.resurgence.org/satish-kumar/ Carl Honore Instagram: @carlhonore Instagram: @carlhonore Twitter: @carlhonore YouTube:@carlhonore Facebook: @carlhonore and @carlhonorepage LinkedIn: @carlhonore Pinterest: @carlhonore TED Talk 1: Slow TED Talk 2: Age TED Course: How to slow down Holly Cullen-Davies Web: https://www.concertsdontcosttheearth.org/ Web: http://...

    Wanderful: Inspiration On The Go... with Holly Cullen-Davies
    Apr 21 2023
    “Find what you’re best at and do that” Holly Cullen-Davies is a pianist, singer, choir leader, environmental campaigner and curator. Holly has been performing regularly since the age of six and working as a freelance musician for over fifteen years. She studied at the CNR de Lyon, France, The Royal Northern College of Music and The Guildhall School of Music and Drama studying with Kasia Borowiak, Carole Presland, Charles Owen and Martin Roscoe. She set up Live Junction which received an Emerging Excellence Award from Help Musicians UK in 2013 and The Kids’ Concert Company which has been funded by The Arts Council for the last 4 years to take professional concerts in to primary schools. More recently she set up Concerts Don't Cost The Earth to bring together the two things she is most passionate about: live music and protecting the planet for our next generation. Concerts Don't Cost The Earth supports both musicians and our precious world at the same time. You can find out more about how to support it or get involved here: www.concertsdontcosttheearth.org Time Line 00.00 - 00.44 Intro 00.45 - 05.13 Introducing Holly Cullen-Davies 05.17 - 07.20 The inspiration behind 'Concerts Don’t Cost The Earth’ 07.35 - 09.02 The role music can play in having difficult conversations about the climate 09.05 - 12.45 Holly’s musical journey 12.46 - 16.16 Introducing classical music to unusual spaces 17.12 - 21.46 Holly introduces and plays Chick Corea's Children Song no. 6 21.48 - 24.15 The element of surprise and the juxtaposition of unusual things 25.10 - 26.54 The etymology of ‘concert’ 26.55 - 31.37 What fuels Holly’s activism? 32.22 - 34.47 Find what you’re best at and do that: being the change you want to see 34.50 - 36.01 Subsidise the trains campaign - an activist’s song 36.03 - 41.27 Holly introduces and plays Alberto Ginastera's Danza del gaucho matrero (Dance of the outlaw cowboy) from Danzas Argentinas 41.30 - 43.50 How people can organise a ‘Concert Don’t Cost The Earth’ concert 44.00 - 47.34 David introduces ‘pogging’ 47.35 - 48.00 Outro Quotes “I’ve always loved the intimate concerts… up close… where you can hear the workings of the instrument.” (Holly) “Concerts Don’t Cost The Earth exist to start conversations about the climate crisis through the power of music.” (Holly) “What I really got a kick out of was introducing classical music to people that didn’t usually hear it and putting it in spaces where you didn’t usually hear it. I did a lot of gigs early on where I was the classical act in a cabaret of other acts and it kind of blew people away.” (Holly) “I hate people looking at a programme during a concert. I think that’s a shame for them to be sidetracked. I’m hoping that I’m compelling enough as a pianist that they’re just listening.” (Holly) I want people to feel the breath, the moment between the pieces and not know what’s coming next.” (Holly) “Every percentage of a degree is absolutely critical and going over 1.5 or certainly going over 2.0 degrees will have catastrophic runaway effects that could lead to the end of all life on earth.” (Holly) “When we do risk assessment in other parts of life: medicine, building bridges, flying aeroplanes… we don’t take risks. If the scientists are saying this could be a disaster, we don’t administer that drug, we don’t build that bridge, we don’t fly that aeroplane. And the risk here (climate) is huge. And the answer is we have to stop using fossil fuels… we have to phase them out completely by 2030.” (Holly) Links Holly Cullen Davies (Guest) Web: https://www.concertsdontcosttheearth.org/ Web: http://www.hollycullendavies.com/ Instagram @daviesanddaughters Instagram @thulamamalondon David Pearl (Host) Web: https://www.davidpearl.net Web: https://wanderfulpodcast.com Twitter: @davidpearlhere Instagram: davidpearl_here Andrew Paine (Producer & Audio Engineer) Twitter: @ItPainesMe
