Nature of Surf Women
Nature of Surf Women is a multimedia project that centers on the relationship between nature and women, highlighting the ocean's transformative impact on individuals and communities.
Encompassing a Coffee Table Book, Photography Prints, and Live Panel Discussions, we are thrilled to unveil our latest venture - Nature of Surf Women
Podcast.
The inspiration behind launching this podcast emerged from numerous requests to capture live panel discussions. However, due to the complexity of recording live events, we've chosen to embark on the podcast journey instead.
"Nature of Surf Women - Waves of Women " podcast embarks on an emotional, adventurous, educational, supportive, and honest journey, featuring conversations with creators, scientists, explorers, artists, healers, therapists, moms, and chefs—all deeply connected to the ocean.
Our discussions will delve into themes like self-esteem, solidarity, creativity, and sustainable living, aiming not only to improve ourselves but also to harmonize with the world around us.
We'll introduce a new topic every month and welcome your suggestions for future episodes. Send us your ideas via DM on our Instagram
@nature_ of_surf women, we'll connect with the right people to join us on the podcast.
Hosted by Ivana Bajic, author and producer.
