OnProcess
The wise, intentional, creative and incredibly heartfelt Kyle Steed is back with us for a round 2 interview!

Kyle takes us through the twists and turns of his creative career including his time in the airforce. We uncover some very interesting thoughts around self belief, internal narrative and how this shapes how we view ourselves. And perhaps my favourite part of the whole chat, equally enjoyable and uncomfortable, we get into...

These episodes will be slightly more esoteric, a bit more rough around the edges, usually based around a book or quote and will be short and punchy.

info_outlineThis episode takes us to some insightful, intentional and almost spiritual places and Ani of The Stone Willow Studio brings us there while we dive into her art and practice of floral design. Using a technique called Ikebana which dates back to the 6th century, Ani's process is rooted in many layers of symbolism and mindfulness. During the episode we talk about the power of learning to let go of control during the creative process, being unattached from the final outcome and how being present with your craft pays dividends far beyond just producing something of better quality. Ani walks us through her Japanese influenced process including the use of Yin Yoga as a technique to help her become more focussed, present and come up with new ideas. There are so many analogies for life when Ani speaks about her process of working with such an ephemeral object. We discover the incredible and inspiring story of how Ani went from traveling between Monaco, London and New York as a foreign exchange trader to her current, you could argue opposite end of the spectrum, creative career path as floral designer. She also shares some practical advice for others looking to make a similar career change. The amount of wisdom that is extracted from the process in this episode is truly incredible, I hope you enjoy. Introducing: The Stone Willow Studio on Floral Design.
