Section titled “New Transmission Episode — Palisa Anderson”
In this episode of the Baseworks Transmission Podcast, Patrick Oancia sits down with Palisa Anderson in a park in Montreal, over a bottle of chardonnay, chatting about her multifaceted journey as a restaurateur, organic farmer, mother, and movement practitioner. Palisa shares the story of her family’s legacy with Chat Thai, a renowned Thai restaurant group in Sydney, Australia, and her transformative shift to regenerative farming at Boon Luck Farm. From her roots in Sydney to her global experiences in cities like Tokyo, she discusses how her work in food, farming, and movement interconnects with her philosophy of intentionality, community, and resilience. The conversation explores cycles in nature and life, the challenges of sustainable agriculture, and the importance of grounding oneself in the present while planning for a sustainable future.

BRAIN FODDER — Cycles
Section titled “BRAIN FODDER — Cycles”
Regenerative farming works with natural cycles — growth, decay, and renewal — to support healthy soil. Could we see our own lives through a similar lens, where experiences flow in cycles rather than a straight line?
In farming, soil is nurtured by alternating planting and resting periods, allowing it to regain balance. In life, moments of effort, pause, or challenge might follow a similar pattern. A difficult time, like a field left fallow, may create space for new ideas or energy. Shifting focus between work, relationships, or personal projects can help maintain balance, much like rotating crops. Taking time to reflect or rest might prepare us for what comes next.
This perspective invites us to notice life’s rhythms and consider how they shape our experiences. Each phase — active or quiet — may contribute to growth in its own way.
To reflect:
- What cycles do you notice in your own experiences?
- How might a pause or shift in focus support your growth?
This week, try this:
Pick an area of your life where you feel busy or stuck. Take a short pause — perhaps a walk or a few minutes of quiet — and observe your thoughts. What small step could you take to move forward? Notice how this pause affects your perspective.
In Baseworks, we focus on movement awareness to sharpen perception, promoting the notice of shifts in how you sense cycles of tension and release. By observing life’s cycles, much like analyzing a dedicated practice, you can discover different approaches to realizing goals and pursuits.
