The SpaceShip Earth - Episode 24 - Louise Middleton - Kudhva - Hiding Out to Reconnect

In this episode, I'm in conversation with Louise Middleton, founder of Kudhva - an amazing collection of stunning hide-outs on a magical, elemental landscape on the remote and wild North Cornwall coast - a place for folks to disconnect to reconnect. Having spent the night in a Kudhva in a rocking gale, I caught up with Louise to get the Kudhva story, the vision and journey of place making so thoughtfully in tune with the landscape, designing living experiences that help people connect more fully with themselves, to each other and the non human world around them. We explore how living more simply and intentionally seems to help us let go of stress, tune in to our creativity and connect better with ourselves and others. Experimenting with the design challenge of creating balance between space for solitude vs community. At a time when we are faced with the most enormous and urgent challenges of lowering our carbon and ecological impacts particulalry in the west, and where we have often removed ourselves from place based community, what can we learn from places like Kudhva which we can bring back and build into our modern urban lives. Hope you enjoy. Please share and review if you like it.
