The Circle of Pollination
Conversations at the intersection of creativity and consciousness. Join Rachel Singleton and Clare Brown in their favourite conversation, exploring a shared love of creating art and the spiritual nature of life. They also share a love of the natural world and use this as a guide in creating the perfect spaces for cross pollination of ideas and understanding. As artists and coaches their work is underpinned by the work of the late philosopher Sydney Banks and The Three Principles.
