Watch this brand-new webinar by Psychologist and author Steve Biddulph. 

Recorded in his home in Tasmania, Steve Biddulph presents a whole new way to understand your own mind and listen to its’ deep-down signals.

Described as therapy meeting neuroscience, this talk explores the new concept of ‘supersense’ – the feelings beneath our feelings. This concept helps guide parents to a more awake and free way of living every minute of their lives.

The webinar will cover the following:

• Calming anxiety in parents and kids
• Helping children manage their emotions well
• How to know what is right for you
• Being at ease in a difficult world 

This pre-recorded online event does not allow for questions at the end.

We'll provide Instructions on how to access the webinar within the booking confirmation.

Matthew Dunne is an artist and writer living and working in Melbourne, Australia.

The Killing Sink is a response to the deliberate killing of Wedge-Tailed Eagles in Victoria. Using the trial of Murray James Silvester, who pleaded guilty to killing over 400 eagles, as a starting point, the project traces the history of the practice, the animals killed and the geography of the crimes.

The Killing Sink acts as both a public celebration of eagles and a eulogy for what’s been taken, focusing on how we relate to the nature around us. Part true crime and part psychogeography, The Killing Sink asks what has been lost and how far have we really come?
