The Rockwater podcast ‘In conversation with…’ sees us chat in depth with some truly amazing individuals.
Being based by the sea we know that it can be a powerful thing.
Fierce; confounding; meditative; playful.
She can open our mind, and stir our soul,
And in doing so, reveal things to us that would remain otherwise unseen.
In the spirit of that and in search of every small wave of enlightenment we can ride, we have created our podcast.
In this series we hope to explore the shallows and depths, the light and dark, the colour and the energy, of some remarkable people, to open our minds to their experiences and insight – and hopefully capture something precious along the way.
