How comfortable are you owning your identity as an Artist? What does our reaction to this question reveal about the stories we tell ourselves about being a real Artists? This podcast explores how to integrate the Artist label into our identity.

I wasn't great at modifying or restoring old cars. Though the Datsun 1600 that passed through my life has now probably been crushed into a cube of scrap metal due to the injuries caused by an angle grinder, some of these great little cars have been saved. In this episode we explore how Daniel Wu's example of the Datsun 510 demonstrates the power of working with a Sankalpa in mind. We'll talk about what a sankalpa is, where you can find one and why you might want one to save your next creative project from an unfortunate encounter with an angle grinder.
What would life be without structure? What if our internal dialogue and sense of self were left to wander aimlessly? Join me as I ponder the intricate balance between structure and freedom in our lives, while discussing how our internal infrastructure can support our spiritual journey and creativity. Drawing from personal experiences as a student and parent, I examine the role of structure in helping us make sense of our lives, especially when faced with traumatic events.
Have you ever wondered if too much structure could actually limit your growth? In the second part of this eye-opening episode, we delve into the power of our internal infrastructure and how it shapes our life experiences. Learn how clinging too tightly to a structure can restrict the movement of spirit, and how embracing flexibility can lead to a more fulfilling life. Be prepared to rethink your own balance of structure and freedom as I share an example from a music show that left me with a profound realization. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation that will challenge you to reassess the very infrastructure of your being.
Episode 29 of the podcast explores how creative problem solving processes utilising the wisdom of the body can set us free from patterns of behaviour that we have outgrown and no longer serve us.

This expisode Mark explores, 'chasing after the wind', the virtues of 'keeping the seat clean' and an unusual kitchen table experience. As with most Barku podcast episodes Mark draws on ancient wisdom texts, Hip Hop lyrics and personal experience to provide thought provoking reflections on life as a joyful presence in this world.
This episode unpacks a brand new way to respond to the common question 'How was your day?" utilising the wisdom of an ancient polyamorous poet.
There are different ways to build in this life. There’s the linear brick laying approach that demands conformity and compliance and there’s the natural stone approach. One is marvellous, inclusive, aesthetically beautiful. The other stifling, chipping away at who we truly are. This episode is about re-claiming the cornerstone of a beautiful life. Barku!
Episode 11 of 11 for the daily podcast challenge. With a few reflections of limiting the infinite.
I tore a ligament a few years ago, not as bad as a few mates recently, but a life lesson no less.
From the Old Testament to Hip Hop, the prophetic voice is always speaking from outside the tribe, calling us forward to a new devine reality.
Do you have a spare room? Have you ever seen a Dolphin torch float? Unfortunately, neither have I.
There are some un grieved losses that we all endured with the transition from street directories, such as the Melway, to navigation by GPS devices in our phones.
Today I give a few of these losses the necessary space for reflection, celebration and acknowledgement so that we can let them go.
But is this really about a Melway?
Exploring idioms that shape the way we move in the world in around 5 and a half minutes. Best foot forward is a snap shot of how this idiom has coloured my perception of the world and an alternative, hollistic alternative.
Sparking a new season in creativity, I have decided to run with a new format for the Barku podcast in line with project 111122. Each day for 11 days I will be releasing a podcast of no more than 5mins 30sec. Inviting you to follow my journey as I create 11 artworks and 11 songs in 11 weeks.
If you feel the creative urge calling you forward you are welcome to join me in this endeavour!
This episode I reflect on an experience which I had the great joy of participating in a few weeks ago. Some things are so good they just need to be savoured, acknowledged and shared.
The Mystery of the Precious Mitts dives into the realm of stories, different ways of knowing and reflections on my personal engagement with Spirit.
I trust this episode creates space for your own reflection. If you enjoy a good mystery, riddle or joke, please leave a contribution in the reviews for a chance to win a yet to be discerned prize (I promise it will beat the primary school teacher’s favourite, “High five prize”).

Because water is a bit important, isn't it? Dog Bowls, Proverbs, Water renewal and Bruce Lee. Enjoy.
Mark Explores the idea of GAS or Gear Aquisition Syndrome. Mark observes how GAS is created, the psychological needs GAS helps us to meet as well as the underlying 'scent' that our own unique GAS has and why it is important to pay attention to it. If you are an artist, creator or human who likes to buy gear, this one is for you.
This week is a meandering between an ancient Latin proverb and a parable from Matthews Gospel. Enjoy.
This week I explore beliefs. What they are, how they work and how we can change them. A little mechanical awareness to help us develop more empowering useful beliefs that keep us moving forward.
This week we explore seeking "clarity" through a timeless revelation of truth brought to us by Geelong folklore character "Jesus of G-Town" aka. "Jezza of G-Town", aka. "Jezza G" aka "JG". If you've ever wondered what brings some people a sense of calm self assurance and purpose as they glide through life, this episode is for you.
Pausing to observe nature can provoke some interesting thoughts. This week Mark explores the intersection between 'aptitude' and 'love' on the quest to living a life that feels right while trusting in the universe to provide.
