Communication, Culture & Well-Being Through Archaeology with Celia Orsini

In this episode of the Communication and Culture Podcast, I sit down with Celia Orsini, archaeologist, writer, and founder of Archaeology for Well-Being. Celia uses heritage, material culture, and hands-on engagement with the past to help modern teams strengthen communication, reduce stress, and build meaningful connection.

We discuss:

📌 Why curiosity is a powerful pillar of mental well-being

📌 How hands-on, sensory activities help teams connect and communicate

📌 Why non-controversial themes from the past open the door to trust and dialogue
