I talk with the talented Aaron M Abelto about his new film ‘Evoke’.  We talk about how he connects with his audience through a common message of humanity.  How his  personal inspiration for his new film, although written many moons ago and kept hidden in a sketchbook, became what it is today because of a dear friend who helped bridge the gap that was left by the loss of his father.

Alice and Sarah-Zee introduce 5 week Macrame https://my.creative-learning.net/courses/MWA-Macrame-Textile

Today in conversation with #worldrenowned Australian #psychologist - Peter Quarry. Peter has over 30 years experience in the industry and is a sought after #speaker and trainer with 50 major #internationalawards for his training videos for some of the biggest companies around the world. His #book titled, If I Were You - A psychologist puts himself on the couch has released, it describes why you should regularly #review your #life, and gives a series of easy to follow instructions. Then, to demonstrate, he proceeds to deconstruct his own sometimes messy, colorful and interesting  life.

With a format that is wholly unique in that it consists of a self-to-self conversation between 'Pete', the wild child who never grew up but now wants to take stock of his life, and his alter ego 'PQ', the world-renowned psychologist who directs and guides the process.

Essentially the book is about Peter (the psychologist) putting himself on the couch and providing readers with a toolkit to confront the curveballs inevitably heading their way. It throws light on #positive effects of aging and coming to terms with getting old. Creatively managing one's career with a retrospective view once in a while. And paths to discover the benefits of diving deep into inner self to finding the true you! 

Episode Highlights:

• What inspired him to become a psychologist when he actually wanted a career in the films?
• What are the traumas that he faced during his childhood which inspired him to review or retrospect his life?
• What does a psychologist feel while being on the other side of the couch
• Why conduct a life review on oneself
• How not to get emotionally involved with the client or a clingy friend/family member
• Advice on being a successful writer
• How did he come to terms with his sexual identity and what advice does he have for the LGBTQ community
• Where can we find his book

Today in conversation once again with the #founder of Exuberant Animal Frank Forencich. This new world offers comfort, opportunity and incredible wonders, but it also causes us #stress, lifestyle disease and for many, pain and unhappiness. Sedentary living, artificial light, social ambiguity, toxic food and chronic noise take an enormous toll. Our bodies are suffering, our planet is in peril and we feel lost. We’re searching for a healthier and more meaningful way to live. And keeping these things in mind we discuss the core concepts of #PaleoMovement - the genetics behind #eating the same #diet our ancestors consumed. 

The menace - #ClimateChange the never ending debate that it is caused by a few ruthless capitalists who want control over the world #resources. The need to respect #wildlifeconservations, river conservations and tribal communities participation in preserving the natural #habitat and nature. 

We also discuss his upcoming book in depth - Beware of False Tigers and also #prediction about the #future of the #humanrace as well as the #society at large.

Maroon In A Sky Of Blue: It is a fiction book that focuses on introvertedness, mental health, and PTSD, the most hushed topics of a teenager's life. The brief is a blurb of the book:

What happens when you start questioning beliefs founded in your sanity?

Withdrawn and reticent, Onir had troubles growing up. He has only two friends; Lavin, who finds solace in Onir’s Zen profundity, has stood by him for 8 years, and Palchinn, who he secretly loves. As Onir starts to come out of his shell and shares his feelings with Palchinn, she embraces him and they settle into a doting relationship. The blossoming young love screeches to a halt when Palchinn ends up in a horrible car accident.

Her harrowing death pushes the teenager into a state of suffering. He tries to get out of this rut and meets Ziya who has suffered a similar loss in the past. As they start bonding, he starts healing. But, Onir’s world comes crashing down when Lavin finds out about the two of them.

Is Ziya not who she seems to be or is Onir mistaken about her identity? Is reality just a version of events?
