The Gentle Art of Life and Curiosity
Welcome to the Gentle Art of Life and Curiosity, a storytelling podcast which explores the themes of belonging, isolation, joy and awe, culture, art, history and identity and so much more! We all have a story. I think so many of us believe that unless we are a celebrity or an expert in some area of expertise, our stories aren’t so valuable. But that's not been my experience. I know that storytelling from the heart has the power to heal, inspire and move mountains.
I moved to Venus Bay in 2022, but I’ve had a home here since 2014 and I moved here because the environment reminds me so much of Tassie, where I grew up. But there’s also something very healing about this country and I’m curious to know who lives here, why and what stories we can share with one another. So join me as we hear from a range of wonderful humans who live, work and explore on this wild, diverse, extraordinary country and community of South Gippsland.
I’m Beck Robertson, and this is the Gentle Art of Life and Curiosity.
