Peeking into people's souls is what Nic Askew does rather well.   His movie camera is his tool and he captures a little - in fact rather a lot, of his subject's soul on black and white film.  He does it lovingly and without intrusion, and yet it does feel as though some layers have somehow been lifted. Soul Biographies is an apt name for these short vignettes into a space that is rarely seen.  

Nic creates these films for individuals, for companies, for organisations and all sorts really.  To say Nic is a film-maker does not do him, or his films justice. 

The time we spent in conversation with Nic was simultaneously strange and delightful.  You will see a montage of his work here and also how he turned his 'imaginary' camera on Beryl as we all struggled to find words to understand his journey into the soul of his subject.

Utterly beautiful. 

Going Vegan is for most people a pretty gradual process. Not for Steve Trister.  Earthlings, the documentary of how humanity mistreats animals marked a turning point in Steve's life.  He clearly remembers the date, 18th January 2013.  

Immediately after the viewing  he felt so traumatised by what he had witnessed that he posted his reaction to Facebook via a two and a half video he filmed on his iPhone.  His intention simply being that if one or two people saw it, maybe they would rethink a few things. From that moment his life changed forever.  He believed he had a purpose before, now he knows he does. 

What happened next, blew him away. Thousands of shares on Facebook later and hundreds of messages from people all over the world.  Steve now has a focus on revealing the truth about the suffering, that as a race we are inflicting on not only our animals, but also ourselves, each other, and our planet.  He knows that he can no longer be, nor does he want to be, a by-stander. 

Steve is a young man who is breaking the mould.  Born as a London 'Eastender',  he grew up in Essex, is a 'mad' West Ham United supporter, has shifted from hard core carnivore to vegan and is deeply spiritual.

His perhaps most prominent gift is his flair for communication.  A professional comedy actor, he has created the hilarious personal development trainer, 'Guru John Popolini'.  As an accomplished actor, he has performed well over 850 times to audiences of up to 1,000 people all over Europe.

A passion for truth is now what drives Steve on in his life.  When we interview him here he is still visibly reeling from the impact his reaction to Earthlings has caused across Facebook.   Unsure of where this is all taking him, he is nevertheless prepared to trust that by following his heart he will be just where he needs to be. 

This is an interview that eases between pathos - as we include that Facebook video and hilarity as Steve entertains us with his unique brand of humour.  

Look out for the kisses at the end....x 

Theta Healing has become a passion for Beata Aleksandrowicz.  Despite training in many energy therapies, Theta Healing has become the most powerful for this dedicated lady.  

Having experienced much trauma in her own childhood which left her emotionally scarred - she bravely embarked on a journey of self-discovery, searching for answers as to 'why' she had had to suffer so badly and find out how she could 'heal' and live a normal life.  No distance was too far to travel to learn more 'truths'.  She spent time on the African continent with tribes where she experience Shamanic initiations and was haled as 'the one they had been waiting for'.

'Giving back' and being of service to humanity and the planet drives her on and has led to set up a number of charity projects in the UK and Africa.

All of this has allowed her to become a therapist, healer, writer, and teacher in the field of Massage and Healing.  Previous incarnations have seen her as a columnist for the UK newspaper, The Sunday Telegraph and a place on the panel of experts for 'Psychologist' magazine

In 2002 Beata founded Pure Massage, the first company in London dedicated solely to massage based on 12 Principles of Massage created which she developed.  She is now fully occupied as the co-owner of Pure Massage and director of the Pure Massage School and working with her Theta Healing Clients and running Theta Healing Training Courses in the UK. 

Beata is absolutely charming and you can't help but feel the delightful and calming 'theta' energy she exudes as she shares her powerful story with us.
