    Ep 143: Paloma King – The Artist Series

    Ep 143: Paloma King – The Artist Series

    As I launched this artist series, I couldn't imagine starting with anyone other than my beautiful, eloquent and talented friend Paloma King. She is a painter from Belfast and her work, in my opinion, is reflective of how I know her as a person. It's a time-tended infusion and revealing of layers upon layers of experience, light, color, wisdom, texture and life. I was nothing short of mesmerized while listening across the world during her interview.



    Here is one sample of her work and I encourage you to visit her gorgeous website to view her collection, find out where you might see her work and read other equally captivating interviews with this fascinating and inspiring woman.

    The Artist Series:



    This podcast has always been my space to shine light on people who are inspired - whatever the focus - and taking action. In the past 6 years, I've shared stories with artists, activists, athletes, entrepreneurs and engineers. Many times, those I sought out to interview were discovered from my own curiosity and research. This particular 12-month series will focus on visual artists as I seek to learn more about how artists create, what inspired them to create and hopefully, bring to the surface more about my own yearning for a new artistic outlet. I hope you enjoy these stories and feel inspired to create as well!

    Ep 141: Ford on Reforestation

    Ep 141: Ford on Reforestation

    A self-professed contrarian, Ford Seeman is determined to challenge the idea that we can’t do anything as individuals to save our planet. To empower people and businesses with tools to track and negate their carbon footprint, Ford created Forest Founders -- a straightforward, subscription-based service where users can plant trees and earn rewards through a personalized dashboard.







    Raised in the concrete jungle of New York City, Ford still found a way to develop an affinity for nature. He fondly recalls a summer spent in an Outward Bound program. Somewhere between canoe trips and treks through the wilderness, Ford developed a lasting appreciation for nature and a sense of responsibility to our environment and its trees, the ultimate carbon reducer.







    After studying political science and psychology at Lesley University, Ford went on to explore many professional paths -- including working as an associate broker on Wall Street and cofounding an energy drink company. Troubled by the greed and waste he witnessed in these fields, Ford was inspired to create Forest Founders, a company that seeks to align nature with capitalism and help both businesses and consumers become carbon accountable.

    Ep 140: Qigong and healing with Matthew Wood

    Ep 140: Qigong and healing with Matthew Wood

    Matthew Wood is the Founder and Chief Instructor at Shaolin Qigong Hampshire in the UK. In this episode, you'll learn about Qigoing and we'll step through a beautiful setup for a Qigong practice - including smiling from your heart (my favorite moment to moment practice these days!).







    Matthew and I have known each other for several years. We were part of a small and powerful mastermind group at one point, collectively guiding each other towards big life dreams. We've shared energy practices while each following those sparks leading us to our unique joy and purpose. It sounds a little cliche - joy and purpose - but when you find those threads and follow them, it is truly joy along the way and a deep sense of purpose takes birth.







    Matthew wows me with his three random facts - things I didn't know after this long! And now...off to research pantomimes!







    Matthew's Bio:







    Matthew works with individuals and groups to transform their energy so they can live fuller, happier lives. He has a long-held fascination with energy and the mind-energy-body connection. He is currently deep in the rabbit hole, experiencing how energy can transform life at all levels, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Now a transformational energy healer and coach, Matthew offers energy training and healing individually and in combination to shift and transform stuck energy and outgrown patterns and create positive results.







    Appointed Shaolin Cosmos Qigong Instructor by Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit in 2018, Matthew now provides Shaolin Qigong training and Qigong Therapy in the UK. Qigong is an extraordinary energy art that restores the body's own innate self-healing ability to create health and vitality, builds more energy, fosters longevity, provides emotional resilience, a clear mind and facilitates peak performance. You can reach Matthew in the UK for Shaolin Cosmos Qigong training and Qigong Therapy, and worldwide via Skype on in-person for private transformational coaching and energy healing with Thetahealing® and Reiki. Visit his website links at the end of these notes.

A fan from the beginning and it keeps getting better.

The Glistening Particle podcast with Jane Ellen touches the soul of those whom you never knew you wanted to know, the people you pass by in the street, people you share a smile with but never go any deeper with even though you wish you would have. All those missed connections that live before us, come to life here on Glistening Particles. Take a listen to Jane and Chloe and you will understand why those smiles and waves to each other matter, and why the conversations we never imagined having may change you life, if you take the time to have them. Your story is worth sharing, too.
