ISSUE TWO – BALANCE

We embraces the craziness of life and our continuous ambitious desire to find and hang onto balance. Issue 2 interrogates the lived and conceptual relationships between balance and truth, the spirit, and healing.  Is balance something that can be lost and then remodified and adapted? Is it even something that really exists?

The ‘Balance’ issue brings together global leaders in the world of balance, while honing in on local, Aussie voices and homegrown perspectives on balance: from culinary culture to permaculture, from physical performance to philosophy, from ancient Ayurveda to Wirradjiri wisdom.
