Judi Dench to star in hospital drama 'Allelujah!'
By on	 September 19, 2021 Entertainment
London, Sep 19 (IANS) Iconic English actress Dame Judi Dench and actor Derek Jacobi will star in a movie adaptation of Alan Bennett's last play.
The two stars will appear together in the hospital drama "Allelujah!", an adaptation of the 87-year-old writer's most recent stage production from "Call the Midwife" creator Heidi Thomas, reports aceshowbiz.com.
The story is set in the geriatric ward of a Yorkshire hospital, the Bethlehem, which is threatened with closure, with the "Skyfall" actress portraying a former librarian, who is now a patient on the facility's Dusty Springfield ward while Derek will play a former headmaster who has also been admitted to that area of the medical facility.
"Absolutely Fabulous" star Jennifer Saunders is said to be in negotiations to play a ward sister obsessed with the patients' bladder control while Julia McKenzie will also be part of the cast as a former child soprano who was known as "the Pudsey Nightingale."
According to the Daily Mail newspaper's Baz Bamigboye, Heidi has added a coda in her screenplay which acknowledges the Covid-19 pandemic.
The movie is currently in pre-production and casting is still taking place for other key roles.
"Allelujah!" was first staged at London's Bridge Theatre three years ago, with Nicholas Hytner serving as director. The cast includes Nicola Hughes, Simon Williams, Julia Foster, and Deborah Findlay.

Among the CHA activities are monthly clinical conferences at which members of the Center present a leading edge topic related to each specialty's perspective about appearance, with an active discussion following. Also, the CHA disburses small grants to support clinical and basic science research to the specialties involved on a competitive basis annually. The CHA then supports a research conference each spring focused on presentation of the results from each of the supported projects, and with an internationally known scientist as the additional feature for the day. In the fall a clinical symposium is held with rotating responsibility among the specialties, aimed at a multispecialty audience.
The Center was founded by Linton A. Whitaker, MD who continues as its Director. The Edwin Hall II TRUST supports the Center's activities.

>> Fast forward past Tom's awkward teenage years >>
Tom attended Hamilton College where he majored in history and mark-making, otherwise known as studio art. After graduating, Tom moved to New York City to begin working for Scholastic, so that he could afford a table for more mark making. Eventually, Tom made enough marks to convince the wonderful publishers at Simon & Schuster that he was ready for his first picture book, Derek Jeter Presents Night at the Stadium, which became a #1 bestseller on Amazon. Currently, Tom lives in Brooklyn with his fiancée, one normal cat named Luna, and one highly unstable cat named Rory.
Tom has had the good fortune to work with Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, Workman Publishing, Nicktoons, and Scholastic

Councils, the NHS, police, community groups, charities, employers and schools in Leeds are all coming together to change how we think and act about mental health.
Time to Change Leeds is led by the Leeds Health and Wellbeing Board and is a partnership between Leeds City Council, Space2, Leeds Mind (and Mindful Employer), Touchstone and West Yorkshire Police, as well as local Time to Change champions and regional co-ordinators.
The Time to Change Leeds Hub believe that people with their own experience of mental health problems (also known as lived experience) should be leading activity around combatting stigma and discrimination experienced by those with mental health problems.
The second round of the Champions Fund is now open. Champions in Leeds can apply for a grant of up to £500 to fund anti-stigma activities in their own communities using social contact.

Chanel Miller, woman sexually assaulted by Brock Turner, reveals herself in new book that'll 'change the culture'
Meet the real "Emily Doe."
Viking / Mariah Tiffany
The Brock Turner rape case was at the infection point of a series of social issues that now dominate today's headlines. It was the beginning of real discussions on white male privilege and sexual assault on college campuses, and helped inspire the #MeToo movement.
In 2016, Turner was found guilty of three counts of felony sexual assault for raping an unconscious woman behind a dumpster outside a fraternity house at Stanford University.
To protect her identity, she was referred to as "Emily Doe" in court proceedings, or "unconscious intoxicated woman" by the media.
Turner faced 14 years in prison, but the college swimmer only received six months from Judge Aaron Persky who said "a prison sentence would have a severe impact on him, I think he will not be a danger to others." As if prison time wouldn't have a "severe impact" on just about anyone.
It was widely presumed that Turner's lenient sentence was the result of white male privilege, resulting in voters recalling Persky from his position in 2018.
During the trial, "Emily Doe" wrote a powerful 12-page impact statement that revealed how the rape and its investigation upended her life.
"My life has been on hold for over a year, a year of anger, anguish and uncertainty, until a jury of my peers rendered a judgment that validated the injustices I had endured," she wrote.
RELATED: Brock Turner is now the textbook definition of the word 'rape'
She included painful details about how her body was handled by investigators.
"I had multiple swabs inserted into my vagina and anus, needles for shots, pills, had a Nikon pointed right into my spread legs. I had long, pointed beaks inside me and had my vagina smeared with cold, blue paint to check for abrasions," she wrote.
While taking a shower in the hospital, she felt terrified of her own body.
"I don't want my body anymore," she continued. "I was terrified of it. I didn't know what had been in it, if it had been contaminated, who had touched it. I wanted to take off my body like a jacket and leave it at the hospital with everything else."
It's been over four years since the brutal rape and "Emily Doe" is ready to show the world that the strong woman behind the impact statement is Chanel Miller.
But she has a lot more to say. Miller's story was purchased by Viking and will be told in her upcoming memoir, "Know My Name."
"Her story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life," the publisher describes her book.
"It was just obvious to me from the beginning what she had to say and how different it was and how extraordinarily well she was going to say it," Miller's editor, Andrea Schulz, told The New York Times. "She had the brain and the voice of a writer from the very beginning, even in that situation."
RELATED: The judge who sentenced Brock Turner to 6 months in jail has been recalled
The cover of the book is inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi or "golden repair" where broken pottery is mended together by gold lacquer into something beautiful and new. Kintsugi artists treat breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something they're trying to hide.
"It is one of the most important books that I've ever published," Schulz continued, because of its ability to "change the culture that we live in and the assumptions we make about what survivors should be expected to go through to get justice."
"Know My Name" will be released on September 24.

There's almost nothing in life that doesn't change with having kids. Many of those changes you can see coming a mile away -- the sleep deprivation, the mini van, the irritating compulsion to capture everything on video. But some are quite surprising. The kind that your pre-kid self would never have anticipated, especially when it comes to things that used to freak you out in a monumental way. Here are 10 things that, to my surprise, I've become quite zen about since becoming a mom.
1. Vomit. While I was holding my daugher's hair back the other day as she threw up all over my shirt -- the real deal throw up, not the baby kind -- I was actually laughing about how not long ago the mere mention of the word puke, let alone the sight, smell and proximity to it, would have reflexively make me hurl.
2. Hospitals. No one likes them. Being in one even just to visit used to strike fear in my heart. Having a high-risk pregnancy with lots of hospital visits and then spending a month in the NICU with my twin daughters made me look at the place as a land of miracles.
3. Blood. When I cut my finger bad enough to need 7 stitches years ago, I took one look at the river of blood and the next thing I knew I was waking up on the floor. Today, I calmly study gashes, nose bleeds and bleeding gums armed with peroxide, Neosporin, tissues and/or princess band-aids.
4. Walking into a room full of strangers. The social anxiety is gone. Especially in a gathering of other parents. Asking about someone's kids, telling stories about your own, showing photos... you've got a built in conversation starter.
5. Traveling. Ok, maybe I'm not entirely not not afraid of this one but my kids' excitement about taking any sort of transportation tempers the free-flowing anxiety that comes with the process.
6. Saying no. When you are blatantly refusing to let someone do something, like, say, stick a fork in a light socket or eat the head of a LEGO Friend, it's amazing how easy it is.
7. Clowns. The stuff of nightmares. But after so many Gymboree classes they've lost their terrifying power. Now they're just irritating.
8. Bathing Suits. It's time to just get in the pool, especially since your kids are jumping in. I try to remember seeing my stomach expand to cartoonish proportions and realize that no matter what the critical voice says, what's going on in comparison is pretty great.
9. Nail salons. Honestly, I always stayed away from them. The smell, the dubious water in the tubs, the reports of fungus from shared tools. Now, I'm there once a weekend as I've learned how great kids' manicures can be. They think they're a treat and mom can drink her coffee AND read a magazine.
10. Sunday nights. The dreaded Sunday blues used to engulf half a weekend. Now, either I'm so focused on my kids' activities that I block it out or, my girls are so excited about going to school (I know) that it's impossible to rain on their parade.
Is there anything that having kids has made you less afraid of?


I have been interested in purchasing an air fryer for quite some time, but I didn't feel the need to rush. It wasn't until recently that I had an immediate need to find a healthier way to make and prepare the food I love. I enjoy eating fried foods, even fast food. I tend to trick myself into believing that just because I'm making it at home, it's better, but it was still fried food. For my benefit, for anyone's benefit really, being able to eat what I enjoyed, but make it healthier had to start now. In comes the air fryer!
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission if you make a purchase after using my links.
If you like fried foods, consider buying one for yourself. As shown in the picture above, I air fried wings. If I knew my wings would taste the same without using oil, I would've bought this a long time ago.
I selected the Avalon-Bay Air Fryer because it ranked high in reviews and was affordable compared to competitors. It's worth every penny!
I'm known for my wings. 30 minutes at 360°, then 10 minutes on the other side. It takes longer than a deep fryer, but with the air fryer, they came out crispy, inside cooked thoroughly and everyone spoke about not noticing any difference in taste. It's a healthier way to cook. The fats and liquid from the chicken drips to the base, the chicken isn't soaked in it. Move the basket only and you're left with tasty meat, no guilt. Even better, the base and basket are both dishwasher safe!

Avalon Bay air fryer with rapid air circulation technology.
Includes recipe book and 2 piece baking set.
An air fryer provides several cooking and reheating options all in one compact multi-fryer. You can still indulge in your favorite foods while also leading a healthy lifestyle.
Avalon Bay is simply giving you the opportunity to fry, bake, grill or roast your food, but in a healthier way.
Features: 3.2 liter oil-less air fryer includes 30 minute timer non-slip feet removable basket for easy transfer of food temperature up to 400 degrees 1400 watts/120 volts.
Mini convection oven. Air fryers work the same way as convection ovens, but better.
Powerful XL fan technology inside the unit removes the fats & oils from the food, by allowing it to drip through the drip basket it then airfrys the food by lifting the oil through convection and coating the food. It does this continuously throughout the cooking process.
Guarantees food is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A reliable and healthy alternative to deep frying.
Update (4/2018): The air fryer still works well, but after months of use there are cosmetic issues. The insides of the inner basket and bottom are rusting and peeling. The black lining is peeling in some parts and the silver beneath it is visible. There's no way to replace those parts and I'm finding out there is no product warranty after 90 days. I use it often, and I mean often, so I can understand rusting with frequent cleaning. But, I don't understand the peeling if it's dishwasher safe, and that's the way I have been washing since I purchased it.
It's still a good air fryer, and not a common issue when checking reviews. But one thing to look for when purchasing yours, is to look for one with a better product warranty should this happen.


Soft and silky is easy to put on and take off. Designed for snug, secure fit.
I've previously had this cap and got another for when the first is lost or damaged.
Good cap, a little tight, but still good. Material is thicker than I am used to, but still efficient. The color is very cool/pretty!

Contact centres struggling under the weight of multiple channels
TOPICS:ArticlesCall CentreCCACiscoContact CentreMultichannel
Just 15% of contact centre agents are easily able to track customers across multiple channels, and almost half are required to use as many as 15 different systems to do their job. This is according to a joint research report between the Customer Contact Association (CCA) and Cisco.
The research, based on a survey of 82 senior decision-makers at CCA member organisations, also revealed that the board is absent from the contact centre in a third of cases. This lack of visibility is leaving managers struggling to demonstrate the strategic importance of their contact centre to the business, making it difficult to justify investment.
The report shows that an overwhelming majority of agents understand the importance of attaining a single view of the customer (90%), and 98% believe appropriate technical solutions already exist to enable this. However, with 72% complaining that legacy systems are the main barrier to achieving this view, it's clear that securing sign-off on a system upgrade is a challenge facing many contact centres.
Brian Atkinson, Head of Customer Collaboration Sales, Cisco UK&I, said:
"Maintaining a single view of the customer across multiple channels is vital if contact centres are to make customers feel valued.
Without this unified view, customers are forced to provide the same information to different agents that have no record of their previous interactions.
Not only does this harm the customer experience, it's hugely inefficient from the perspective of the contact centre."
Anne Marie Forsyth, Chief Executive at CCA said:
"Organisations across every industry sector know that in today's competitive business environment, delivering a consistently positive customer experience is vital to retaining both the loyalty and goodwill of existing customers, but also attracting new ones. But it needs the backing of the whole company to work, from the board down to contact centre agents and directors. However, the reality is that senior customer contact professionals frequently struggle to engage the attention, never mind the support, of their boards and senior management. Greater visibility is needed if things are to change."

CEO George Lovell comments on recruitment tests
Menzies Courtney June 19, 2020 2 min read
Several other issues arose during the three-hour long meeting with members of the Belize Defence Force (BDF), including the matter of the tests that recruits need to sit in order to join the ranks. Concerns were raised that some recruits were unable to comprehend the tests, but according to Brigadier General, Steven Ortega, these tests are set at a primary school level.
Brig. Gen. Steven Ortega, BDF Commander: "The recruit test is set at a primary school level so perhaps maybe we need to look at that but it's presently it's set at a primary school level so if you graduate from primary school if you have a primary school leaving certificate you're qualified in that aspect to join the force and they have all sat the recruiting exam. Yes they didn't max it or performed a B or a B+ or a C but we have to take a cross section of society we just can't take everyone who is an A or B student otherwise what will happen to the guys who get B and Ds? It's not only the smartest that gets in and so that's how I'm saying we have to do a further assessment of our instructors for them to be able to impart that information to other recruits who aren't academically as gifted but that's why we need to get the different types of instructors to do that so those are some of the changes that we will implement."
Retired Colonel George Lovell, CEO, Ministry of National Security: "One of the things that they have in the BDF, and you'll find for every rank that people progress in the BDF there is a course of studies. This is one of the organization that for you to go from a recruit to a soldier you go through recruit training; for you to go to a private solider to a Lance Corporal there is a potential Jr. Non Commissioned Officers course that you do, for you to go from a Lance Corporal to a Corporal there's a Section Commander course to do so every rank all the way up to when you're a general he does War College before he qualified as the Commanding General. So there is continuous training and career development once you're in the force and that's how we try to get those people who came in at a academically challenged or disadvantaged to where they grow up."
We will have more from this meeting in Monday's newscast.

Kutztown & Boyertown
'Emperor's New Clothes' is a comedy for entire family
Talisman Players present 'Emperors New Clothes' in Kutztown, Boyertown
Set in small country in Far East, features colorful costumes, gongs, drums and parades
By Lisa Mitchell lmitchell@21st-centurymedia.com

The Talisman Players present a comedy for the entire family, "The Emperor's New Clothes" on Jan. 17 to 19 in the Georgian Room of Old Main at Kutztown University and at The Boyertown State Theatre on Jan. 25 and 26.
This version of "The Emperor's New Clothes" takes place in a small country in the Far East.
"We have great costumes and the gong and drums and parades should be lots of fun! You'll also be able to meet the characters after each show," said director Tom Nardone.
When telling a tale that might not be specifically as well known as "The Wizard of Oz" or "Pinocchio," you have to take the time to make sure the storyline is clear and all of the characters are identified, explained Nardone.
"Then you have to make them funny, interesting to watch, exciting!" said Nardone.
This story is a translation of a classic tale by Hans Christian Andersen.
An Emperor of a city is fond of new clothes. Two imposter weavers enter his city and tell him that they can create a suit for him that would be invisible to people who are unfit to hold their office, or excessively simple. The Emperor orders this suit to be made for him. The weavers pretend to weave this suit but in truth weave nothing at all, and present this fake "invisible" suit to everyone in the city as if it really exists. The Emperor along with all the people who look upon the suit are troubled by what they cannot see, and whether they are inadequate or not. This causes everyone in the city, including the Emperor, to lie and say they can see the suit although in reality they cannot. The Emperor leads a parade through the city in his new suit even though he is actually naked. A child breaks everyone's delusion by shouting out "the Emperor is not wearing anything at all!"
The message behind the story?
"That there is a bit of foolishness in everyone and ultimately we have to treat everyone with kindness and respect and just hope that your example is infectious," said Nardone.
As director, Nardone enjoys bringing the story of "The Emperors News Clothes" to life on stage.
"Productions that are aimed at bringing out the child in all of us, no matter the age, is a particularly fun thing for me to attempt," he said. "Finding the perfect timing, the perfect look, the perfect laugh or cry or shock or movement - anything that can make an audience laugh with joy is just one of the best feelings a director can have. It's like getting to play Santa Clause because he's too busy!"
Regarding the cast, the winter shows bring out the most dedicated cast of players.
"I specifically arranged all rehearsals around the holidays, so as to not interfere and give everyone the opportunity to join the cast without skimping on family time; and it worked!" he said. "The cast will once again impress with their ability to bring this tale to life; and as you will see, every part is filled by a very talented thespian."
In the past, shows have sold out in advance so purchasing tickets online is encouraged.
Show dates are Jan. 17 at 7 p.m., Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. with noon brunch option, and Jan. 19 at 3 p.m. in the Georgian Room, Old Main, Kutztown University. Also showing Jan. 25 at 11 a.m. and Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. at the State Theatre at Boyertown. To purchase tickets, go to talismanplayers.com and Boyertownstatetheatre.com.

Good Eats & Tasty Treats in Somerville, MA
Just north of Boston and Cambridge lies the city of Somerville, Massachusetts. For those who live, work, or study within its borders, there's a lot to love about Somerville. Whether it's for the walkability of its neighborhoods and vibrant city squares, the great restaurants, or the myriad community events, Somerville draws in an eclectic crowd of students, families, and commuters.
Spend some time in Somerville and you'll inevitably discover that it is also a treasure trove of storefronts, workshops, and studios where artisans and craftspeople channel their creativity into producing everything from responsibly sourced chocolate to art, pottery, and handmade goods.
In this blog, we'll introduce you to a handful of local Somerville makers whose products are so delectable, so positively, perfectly delicious, that we knew we had to have them in our shops and online store.
Discovering Local Brands
At Boston General Store, you'll find unique goods and foods from around the world. But what really excites us is when we can bring a local maker into our shops with a product that aligns with our mission to celebrate quality ingredients and honest, responsible manufacturing processes.
We often come across these local makers when we least expect to: when a friend tucks some spicy hot dates onto a charcuterie board or shares a bar of chocolate on a hike.
Sometimes, it's our customers who come to us requesting a particular product that they tried or saw elsewhere, which they feel would be a good fit for our shop.
And occasionally (as in the case of Q's Nuts), we need only to follow our noses as the smell of roasting nuts wafts through open windows, teasing us out of our apartments to find the source of the heavenly aroma.
However we discover these locally made products, we love sharing them with all of you. Take a peek at these four Somerville companies who are making some incredibly tasty treats that will spice up your next picnic, dessert plate, or mid-day snack!
Q's Nuts
Husband-and-wife team Beth and Brian "Q" Quinn have been roasting nuts since 2000, when they started a side business doing event roasting. Using high-quality ingredients (local, whenever possible) and drawing inspiration from family recipes, places they've visited, and meals they've enjoyed, the Quinns create unique flavor combinations with a variety of nuts. Their family business has grown to include two locations where they experiment with roasts that run the gamut from sweet to savory and everything in between! Their nuts are vegan as well as gluten, soy and dairy free.
When the people speak, we listen. So many of our customers reached out to us about carrying Taza Chocolate that it was a no-brainer bringing them into our stores. Taza makes minimally processed, stone-ground chocolate with bold flavor and a rustic texture that really lets the complexity of the cacao stand out. As a company, they are an exemplar of ethical cacao sourcing, maintaining direct relationships with cacao farmers who respect the rights of their workers and the environment. In their Somerville factory, they take cacao from bean to bar, making a variety of boldly flavored chocolates with notes of coffee, cinnamon, and chili. Their barks and chocolate-covered nuts are dangerously good; to open a bag and not eat the entire thing in one go is an exercise in self-restraint! (Trust us, we know!)
Somerville Chocolate
The origins of Somerville Chocolate are somewhat unique. They began selling chocolate through a CSA model, offering shares that consist of regular chocolate "harvests", in an effort to involve people in the bean-to-bar chocolate-making process and to highlight variations in origin and flavor. While you can still join their chocolate CSA, they also offer a selection of bars for purchase. Most of these small-batch chocolate bars evolved from previous CSA harvests. We love Somerville Chocolate's bars both for their unique compositions and flavor profiles and also for the way that they are hand wrapped in vintage maps of Somerville.
The folks at Hot Dates Kitchen have achieved perfection in a singular, delicious creation. Hot Dates are Medjool dates stuffed with spiced sunflower butter, covered in dark chocolate, and sprinkled with sea salt. They're sweet and salty with just a kick of spice, and they are equally at home in a picnic basket, tucked into a hiking backpack, or rubbing elbows with some Gruyère on a cheese board.
We hope you've enjoyed marveling at all the tasty treats we have found in Somerville, MA. The only thing left to do is to try them for yourself!
We are always looking for local companies that make products that align with our mission and complement our current product selection. If you know of a product that you think would be a good fit for our shops and online store, shoot us a line atinfo@bostongeneralstore.com and send us a link to their website or online catalog!

Manon des sources is een Italiaans-Franse dramafilm uit 1986, geregisseerd door Claude Berri. Hij is gebaseerd op het gelijknamige tweede deel van de tweedelige roman L'Eau des collines (1963) van Marcel Pagnol en is het vervolg op Jean de Florette (1986).
Pagnol had in 1952 een film gemaakt onder de gelijknamige titel, en werkte het verhaal later uit tot zijn roman.

In 1987 won Emmanuelle Béart de César voor Beste Vrouwelijke Bijrol.

Verhaal

Tien jaar na de dood van Jean, gaan de zaken goed voor Ugolin en zijn oom César 'Papet' Soubeyrans (Yves Montand). De bron die ze voor Jean verstopt hadden, zorgt nu voor een bloeiende anjerkweek. Manon (Emmanuelle Béart), de dochter van Jean, werkt in de streek als geitenhoedster en is ondertussen opgegroeid tot een mooie, schijnbaar argeloze, jonge vrouw. Haar ontwapenende schoonheid brengt het hoofd van Ugolin op hol. Uiteindelijk wreekt zij zich voor het onrecht dat tot haar vaders dood heeft geleid.

The next big thing in music is here according to Samsung. The company on Friday announced a new streaming music service called Milk. It's a bit unique in that it is free to download, free to use (no ads) and doesn't require users to log in.
Samsung worked with Slacker to develop the service which launches with some 200 radio stations and 13 million songs on tap. It uses a circular dial similar to classic analog radio dials. Simply slide your finger around the dial to "tune in" to various genres of music. If you find a channel that you like, you can then run your finger along the inside of the dial to select different channels within the genre.
The user interface was designed to be easy to use – something that's apparently a problem with other services. Samsung's Ryan Bidan said there is a group of consumers that haven't engaged yet in mobile music because current services are too hard to understand and people don't like advertising while consumers that have taken the plunge have been dissatisfied with the experience thus far.
The service will initially be available for the Galaxy S III and S4, the Galaxy Note II and Note 3, the Galaxy Mega, the Galaxy S4 Mini and will be ready for the Galaxy S5 when it launches on April 11. It's available through Google Play and Samsung is considering bringing it to competing devices as well according to Daren Tsui, vice president of music at Samsung Media Solutions.

Slowly, very slowly, I'm recreating my blog archives here on my new site. My first blog was on blogspot.com late in 2002. I remember when I started because I remember an early post on the first anniversary of 9/11. Though I moved around the internet in the years since, I've hung onto my archives. In plain text, so it's a big data entry job to rebuild.
Right now, I'm copy/pasting my previously private entries from 750words.com, starting the summer of 2010. Slightly edited, but also, I'm trying to be OK with being vulnerable. I started my first retail job that August, and less than a year later, I picked up and moved to Halifax. Reading those entries again is tough.
But this is why I keep my archives. This is why I keep my notebooks. When it feels like nothing has changed, like I'm stuck in the same place, like I'll never get to the place where I want to be, I can go back and remind myself how far I've come already.
I was 19 when I started first notebook; 20 when I started my first blog. I'm 37 now and reading posts I wrote when I was 28. I still don't often feel like an adult, but I'm in a better place. I might almost be willing to call it a happier place.


← Patrick Beach for the First time Ever in Italy!
Majesty of Being is our natural state of rich abundant fuller than fullness. Where we find ourselves complete and more than enough, cozy and nourished from within. Nourished not from an idealized state of an idea of perfection, but rather, nourished deeply from the precision of each aspect of our life's circumstances unfolding as is. This state of rich Being can become lost territory due to all the noise of the daily life, the ideas and belief patterns we may have collected along the way, and accumulations of all of these informations held within the body-mind complex.
This weekend workshop is a journey home. Home to where the breath is. Home to where the symphony of life unfolds note by note, forever never replaying two melodies in the same way twice. Home is here, Now, as is. Come as you are, receive your own riches. The innate wealth upon which we all sit calls us back home.
This weekend will be a dynamic journey of re-establishing intimacy with breath, fluid conscious movement, nourishing reflection, integrative stillness, profound surrender and sweet meditations; all techniques collaborating to orchestrate our consciousness deep through the layers of self.
La Grandiosità dell'Essere con Meghan Currie a Milano!
With every physical action that we take, there is an equal effect that ripples just under the mainstream of what can be heard. We have an ability to pull our focus impossibly tight, like when listening to someone telling a secret in a loud room, to zoom in to amplify the smallest sounds.
Our inner capacity for hearing the usually un-hearable amplifies to new dimensions when we take time to really listen, not only to what can be easy to hear, but also to the most silent aspects of our experience. The most subtle strokes of the breath, the tiniest twinkling of our sensations, the most silent conversations of our inner layers. What can be witnessed with greater clarity is the grand symphony of life, forever playing, pulsating through us each moment, never two notes playing in the same way twice. To experience this through our sensational aspects helps us to re-member our magic. That we too are made of pure mystery, genius, creative force, continuously playing our melody adding to the symphony, simply by existing.
On this journey, we discover the fullest dimensions of our inner world through developing our multidimensional skills of listening. Through breathing techniques, conscious slow fluid movement, stillness to feel, guided meditation and deep rejuvenating surrender, this class will open up awareness for the rest of the weekend to shine through.
When spiritual traditions speak of "opening one's heart," they usually mean openingthe front aspect of the heart chakra. The front connects us to the manifest world, what is literally in front of us, and makes us more open in our heart-relations with the manifest world.
The back aspects of our heart chakra are equally as powerful and important as are the front. They are our connection to the un-manifest dimension from which the Manifest world manifests. They open us up to Divine love, trust that the universe has got our back and trust our life's journey unfolding. The back aspects are where we plug into our own source to receive energy and find our roots in our Being.
The front is our place from which we give to others and the world while the back is our source for receiving.
The Un-Manifest World is often spoken of as the invisible, hidden dimension that lies behind the manifest world. It's the realm of potentiality, that connects us to our past, our lineage, our ancestors, the collective history of humankind.
This journey will be an unfolding of the rich aspects of life from the back space of the body, and an exploration of the effects of shifting from primarily front focus (manifest) to back body (potential). Physically we will explore "heart openers" initiated from the support of the back space. Receiving rather than striving, allowing rather than pushing moving from the power of Being rather than doing.
The word steep implies no poking, pushing, prodding, forcing, squeezing, squishing or trying. Like steeping herbs in hot water, no need to add or subtract anything to make the infusion of the medicinal properties of the herb more complete.
When we really stop and drop all efforts and allow ourselves just to be, as we are, without any need to poke, prod, fix, squeeze, try, do, add or subtract- where we find ourselves is in a state of deep steep, a state of simple Being. This is one of the most delicious and powerful skills we can acquire.
We can easily get caught in the idea that we are not enough, that something is missing from our life or our composition and that when we get that one thing everything will be complete. What we forget is that we are already far more than enough. We hold all the medicinal properties we long for, all we need to learn to do is steep in them and receive their medicine.
This nourishing journey is about dropping all doing and allowing ourselves just to Be. Through a mix of Yin, Restorative and Yoga Nidra, breath work and guided meditation we will travel to the sub conscious and parasympathetic aspects to allow the deepest most profound kind of medicinal infusion.
The Journey is a never-ending process that deepens with each breath, just as in any relationship to a friend, lover, animal, earth or cosmos. If we can remember to stay awake, remembering the universe has got our back, this immediately Re-members us. To re-member is to allow reconnection to our highest wisdom, potent intuition and majestic Being-ness. Re- membering to wake up to this moment now, and to stay awake, through as much of the journey as possible.
On the journey of our lives, we will not know exactly where we are going, where we will end up, who we will meet or what we will learn along the way. On our journey we have many guides, tools and skills that are collected to help us to courageously stay awake to receive each moment with naked eyes and fresh perceptions, receiving it all anew. The journey of a lifetime is one of surprise after surprise being revealed in order that we discover ourselves to be more powerful, intelligent, magical and amazing than we might have believed ourselves to be.
This unfolding journey will be an integration of all the previous skills learned in each workshop, combined fluidly with delicious intentional sequencing, breath work, guided meditation, deep juicy stillness- all to assist in deep assimilation of all the nutrients, practices, teachings and insights of the weekend.
