A Good Life At Sol Haven
Sunday, 23 November 2025 - 51 minutes
In this warm and reflective episode of A Good Life with Soul Haven, Chris is joined by Natasha and Samuel for a deep dive into permaculture principle 11: using the edges and valuing the marginal. Together, they explore how the overlooked corners of nature mirror the hidden emotional spaces within ourselves, and how stepping beyond familiar routines can lead to meaningful personal growth. Samuel shares an honest account of his own challenges this year, opening up about pain, stillness, and the unexpected insights that came from being forced out of his comfort zone.
Natasha and Samuel also offer three practical tips to help listeners gently stretch their boundaries, reconnect with neglected passions, and take small but powerful steps forward. The team then head out into the garden for a seasonal update, discussing winter tasks such as nurturing the soil, creating wildlife habitats, collecting leaf mulch, protecting vulnerable plants, and caring for hardworking tools.
Natasha brings delicious warmth to the episode with her quick and comforting tofu pad thai recipe, packed with ginger, chilli, lime and nourishing vegetables. There’s also a calming drumming session led by Samuel, offering a moment of grounding focus. The show finishes with an inspiring reflection on optimism, exploring how hopeful thinking can guide us through difficult times and help shape a brighter, more intentional future. With a glance ahead to the next episode’s Christmas-themed conversation, it’s a rich, heartfelt instalment full of wisdom, humour and practical guidance from the Soul Haven family.
