Today, you're being invited to step into the life of somebody who’s lived more than one lifetime inside a single body. A human shaped by early blindness and strong inner vision, by deep grief and ecstatic joy, by plants and herbs, by art and queerness, by the land and animals, and by the wild, unstoppable force of inevitable reinvention.

In this Episode we sit with a herbal rebel who helped spark a cultural movement. An artist who builds worlds out of imagination and recycled materials. We’ll wind through psychedelic forests and enter a story of queerness before language, of sensuality as a compass, of menopause as a meno-morphosis, and of a body that has been both battleground and oracle. It’s a story of losing pleasure, fighting for it, and reclaiming it in ways that defy medical expectations. It’s also a story of a person who refuses to disappear, even when the world tells ageing humans they should.

Eliza’s life is art. It is rebellion. It is grief and grit and humour and endless magic. It is the exquisite mushroom growing from the compost.

So, settle in. This is not just an interview, it’s an initiation. A journey through the alchemy of becoming, unbecoming, and becoming again.

You are about to enter into the wonder filled world of Eliza Rix.

This project was made possible with the support from the Community Broadcasting Foundation CBF.org.
