the wildflow'ers
two witty redheads called Mi-Shell
from polar opposite sides of the world
try to make sense of what it takes to be in FLOW
when madness swirls around them

a part of our breathing space are wildflowers. They can neither be tamed nor tied down, and when their time comes, they simply bloom wherever they are…

our wildflower blend also includes inspiring guests
Jonny is passionate about transformation and human potential. He has created the Wellbeing Foundation New Zealand, as a culmination of his learnings with inspiration and empowerment at the core.
He is very well known and respected locally for his work with youth, men’s groups, support of couples, individuals and communities. Both a Master Chef, Reiki Grand Master, he would absolutely be a ‘Grand Master’ in any realm, and has walked many paths gathering a huge repertoire of wellness offerings and experiences.
One can say what is at the core, but it’s really about the heart. Supporting people as their hearts’ flow open and meeting them where they are at, is key in Jonny’s work. He is a guide of the possible, a holder of space, and a ‘bear’ that cares.
What does a professional magician and a school of the future have in common? Everything!
“Wissen Schafft Freiheit” (WSF) or “Knowledge Creates Freedom” is the biggest alternative school movement in Europe right now.
It has been born from the passion and magic of Austrian based Ricardo Leppe. Drawing on his experience of various schooling styles, Ricardo has taught children, parents, and teachers. He’s travelled, he’s been curious, he’s listened, demonstrating and gathering various learning pathways.
Ricardo has created FREE access to WSF. It knocks the socks off traditional education combining learned memory skills, techniques from across the globe and rich input from others met along the way. And if you think he is short of new ideas & material, think again, as Ricardo has a global army of mothers only too willing to champion what he is doing, as he (r)evolutionizes learning, and makes it accessible to all.
There are angels on earth doing their work and Daniela Cabete is one of them. A psychologist / sexologist, she has worked more than 13 years with adult perpetrators of domestic violence.

Our vibrant guest in this episode is German-based osteopath and breathwork coach Meike Kleemann.
She describes herself as a Sherlock Holmes working with all she has to facilitate her clients’ wellbeing.
We think Meike is like a wellness composer with 30 years of training and passion, an orchestra of therapies, using osteopathy and its philosophy as a solid base. She provides really valuable descriptions about osteopathy and her work, which helps one understand this modality and its impact, so much more. She is still adding to the symphony and has so much on offer.
Come, be curious, get some Sherlock energy and see what you discover.
Transformation can be interpreted and told many ways. This episode we are delighted to bring you Maria Romero who is a transformative educator and healer from Christchurch, New Zealand.
Trusting her journey despite stepping into the unknown repeatedly, Maria has immersed herself in the world of the monarch butterfly and used its life cycle as a metaphor for connecting with children, teachers, and other adults across New Zealand and globally.
Maria talks humbly of her learnings, her challenges, and how she has shared her passion for nature and our environment through self-belief and hope. That frequency has a ripple effect and 20 years of healing comes together under the wings of Take Flight Healings and The Butterfly Musketeers.
Be inspired to spread your wings and fly.

Michelle Rumball always made songs. And she sings them all with joy and conviction and a smile in her voice.
From Toronto’s maligned suburb of Scarborough — and proud of it — she’s been a musician for as long as she can remember. Her powerful voice first emerged as the voice of the legendary Canadian acoustic rock band Grievous Angels. Winter 2024 was a good time to look at things and she’s looking at ALL the things. Taking some time off now from live performances to have a break and think about what she looks like down the road, trying new things, keeping it fresh…
Michelle Rumball has, indeed, made a new plan.
Get amazing inspirations from our Insanely gifted teacher preacher Jamie Catto.
Jamie facilitates professional, personal and creative breakthroughs by drawing from his own processes in ground-breaking film production, philosophy voyages and music career.
He says: Genuine healing changes happen when we remove the over-importance or agenda to transcend this glorious, messy human experience and instead, be thoroughly entertained by our fallible, slapstick genius, tripping over our heart strings and spilling the wine, falling on our arses again and again as a given and each time treating it as one of our most illuminating and liberating spiritual practices.
Why should we all be eating weeds?
As we watch them grow and bloom in the wild, they remind us of our innate longing. They bloom where they find themselves, never complaining about the conditions. They maintain their “go with the flow” state.
But eating wildflowers and weeds? Is that possible and safe? What even is a weed?
Meet Krautkind Marius Sinn and his incredible knowledge of wild herbs, plants and flowers and get to know how you can start your journey to grow your own edible wild plant garden and discover all the gifts that nature has in store for you.
For many of us, the breath is simply air in and air out.
But it is so much more and way more important than that.
Why?
You can go weeks without food, days without water, but only a few minutes without breath, but what do you usually pay the least attention to? Isn't breathing THE most important thing you do?
Join us for deeper insights around the wellbeing trend wich is called "breathwork" and a powerful method offered by Benedict Beaumont from makesomebreathingspace
To be in the flow can be a metaphor for being in motion.
To be in flow means to grow.
To be in the flow means to change.
Things can change, even if you don't know yet where the journey is going.
When we talk about movement,
we also talk about energy in motion,
which brings us to e-motions.
When we try to go against the flow, we might be swept away.
But if we stay in the flow, then everything can unfold beautifully.
