Recovery Devon Podcast
What does it mean to be fully human? How can recovery principles support mental health? Recovery Devon and guests open the mic to views on mental health recovery. Established in the mid-2000s, we became a community interest company in 2012. Based in the South West of England, we support recovery as both a personal vision and an underpinning value base to promote radical change in mental health attitudes and provision. Our community of goodwill includes people with lived experience of mental health issues, their supporters, and families, alongside mental health practitioners.

Episode 3 - Out of our minds - Mike Smith
In this episode we have Mike Smith, a Recovery Devon board member and our tech wizard, talking about the positives of being 'out of our minds'.
Mike talks to us about how being out of our minds can help us engage more with the world around us and our own imagination. We hear Mikes thoughts on how the school, education and learning system may create concrete and inflexible minds as we neglect our imagination and focus more on facts and already established beliefs.
We also hear Mike question how we measure success, what is progress and why connection to others is so vital to our well being. All this and the bonus of a brilliantly explained musical metaphor. We hope you enjoy.
