In episode 40, I talk with Jana Brogan who created Sage Rosemary, a wholistic practice built upon the principles of botanical medicines, that uses an integrative approach to building wellness within the individual, as well as the larger community. This virtual and and in person practice offers a variety of modalities for those seeking to heal, enrich, educate, embark (or continue) on a journey of self-discovery and reconnection to the wisdom of tradition and the earth. At Sage Rosemary a fluid approach to client based care is a priority; acknowledging and working from a space that sees every person as an individual- creating treatment plans that recognize and support meeting people where they are. Sage Rosemary is resolutely committed to practices that are eco-conscious and regenerative in nature; the packaging is either reusable or biodegradable and great effort has been made to ensure that the plants and other ingredients used in the products are organic. Richard Fortin Presents is a podcast that amplif

'On the road again'! This time I bring the van and motorcycle to visit Austin, Texas, for SXSW from March 10th to 19th, 2023. I had a blast learning about what's hot and poppin' in the world of tech, music and film. This was my 3rd time attending the event (2016, 2022) and it was awesome. Also, as a lifelong super fan of Willie Nelson I had the good 'luck' to attend his annual @luckreunion show on his ranch.

About Christine: My name is Christine. Living and sharing the ancient wisdom teachings of Yoga & Ayurveda in modern times feel my life’s genuine purpose. I am always interested in expanding myself and my knowledge by exploring and integrating the essential wisdom into my practice. As a travelling yogi, I have not yet committed to one place. Currently, I am in Bangladesh, supporting Mati NGO, a non-governmental organization that I have been connected to since my first voluntary stay in 2006. Mati focuses on poverty reduction, women empowerment, climate change initiatives, rural development and human rights in Bangladesh. The organization was founded in 1998 and aims to join all its human forces, energy, and love in the universal fight against poverty and towards life in dignity for all human beings, regardless of gender, status, colour or creed. It is always a great experience to serve the needy, as serving others is serving myself! Thank you so much for your attention and support! Much love & blessing

About Driven From Within: “My name is Phil Courchesne and I was born and raised in North Bay, Ontario Canada. I have a love and appreciation for all types of music but rapping was all I was ever good at musically (I have a horrible singing voice and cannot play an instrument if my life depended on it, lol!). For that reason I dedicated myself to rapping because it was the only way I was able to express myself with the powerful art of music. I’d like to thank Andrew Sowka and Shawn Sasyniuk for helping me get started by getting my music out into the world. I’d especially like to thank my friends for their support and my parents for giving me a stable life. I thank my mother for her love and kindness and I thank my father for pushing me and giving me a reason to be Driven From Within, I love them with all of my heart and they mean everything to me. I’d also like to thank those who have doubted me, rejected, or hurt me… the lessons that you taught me is something I needed to experience in order to become the man
