Friend of Healthy Minds Steve Garrod hosts the sharing hour to kick-off a new year of the Healthy Minds Radio show!

Join Steve to find out all about current Healthy Minds services and opportunities, along with a 10 part sax-solo music quiz!

This month we take a deep dive into the story of chocolate, hearing the lived experience voices behind one of our favourite foods of the festive season.

Our guests Adelle and Nana-Essi from EnT Foundation (Ese ne Tekyerema - the 'teeth and tongue') teach us about the power of storytelling, challenging the hierarchies of western-centred knowledge systems, and the ways we can re-frame mindfulness practices to encompass a 'glocal' (global-local) way of thinking about mental wellbeing.

If you have a piece of chocolate available - keep it close by - but don't unwrap it yet! Our guests will let you know the right moment as they take you through the 'KoKoo Mindfulness' mindful eating practice.
