Journalist Indira Naidoo shares her experience of finding meaning and how spirituality can help us navigate the darkest moments of our lives.
One of the ABC's longest-running programs, it has been on air since 1988 and for most of that time was hosted by Geraldine Doogue. This year, the program will broaden its focus to newer forms of spirituality and investigate stories of social justice, an emerging scandal in the Catholic Church and the tricky interplay between sexuality and religion.
She's thrilled to be taking over as host of Compass and believes the program is needed now, more than ever. "I think Compass is a show that changes with our changing needs. While we might now be pulling away from structured religion we're not pulling away from the search for meaning and spiritual guidance. If the traditional church structure is not for them, people are finding it through art, music, nature, self-development, mindfulness and Compass explores those different ways of connecting with meaning.
"Because we moved around as a family quite a bit, I was exposed to various cultures and religions," she says. As she begins a new chapter in her career with Compass, Naidoo continues to talk publicly about her experience of navigating grief in the three years since Manika died. Most recently she spoke to members of the community in Bega, still traumatised by the Black Summer bushfires.
