Towards Vivencia in Conversation with Jorge Crecis, PhD

Welcome to "TWV in conversation with…” today’s guest: Hayley J S Matthews.

In this episode, we will be discussing Hayley's upcoming event, "The Dance of Being", which will be taking place both in person and online. We will also be delving into some of the more difficult concepts related to dance, such as consciousness and emotions, and how Hayley approaches these topics in her work.
Another important topic that we will be covering is funding and the question of whether dancing is just a passion or a remunerated job. 
We will also be discussing some of the current feminist figures in the dance world to look out as references for the future 22nd century and how their contributions will shape the industry.

Finally, we will also be discussing the importance of in-person and online-but-in-person remote events in the current climate and why 100-year-old choreography is still relevant in today's world. 
So join us as we explore the world of dance and all its complexities with Hayley J S Matthews.

Hello beautiful people!
Buckle up because today's episode is a real lesson in business ethics, pricing our services as dance artists, making a difference in the world, and how the performing arts can benefit corporates and vice versa.

Our guest today is Graham Alexander.
I had the pleasure to be one of Graham’s teachers at London Contemporary Dance School (The Place) where he studied dance after having graduated in Physics from Oxford University… is a vice president at the De Beers Group, one of the biggest mining diamond companies in the world, with over 20,000 employees working in 28 different nations.

Prior to that, he worked for nine years in various consultancies such as PwC, Javelin Group, OC&C Strategy Consultants,  primarily working with clients in the retail and consumer goods industry, such as Superdry, Selfridges, and Heineken, as well as in a number of other industries, like the cabinet office, Brussels Airport, or First Group.
After that, he was employed by the Lego Group to implement their marketing plans.


In this episode, we discussed:
The relationship between major corporations and the performing arts.How one of the largest mining diamond companies in the world's vice president was once a dance studentThe benefits and drawbacks of working in the business worldThe big corporation's bias as the cause of all evil.Enhancing physical health and mental performanceCons of the dance businessA set of principles, a way of life, and deeds to improve the worldThe dance industry's model of scarcity and the going rate for working with corporations
A very pragmatic, profound and useful episode.

Enjoy it!!!

Welcome to the 2nd TWV in conversation with... episode. today with Júlia Robert and Rudi Cole… both together: Humanhood.

This is definitely the most contrasting episode yet

why??

Because of this episode, I've realised that Humanhood and Towards Vivencia have a lot in common in terms of their goals... Even though our ways of getting there may seem very different, hence contrasting... but, as the say goes: all paths lead to Rome. So let's go to Rome...

I hope that this episode gives you, our listeners, as much information as possible about Julia and Rudi's work, learn more about how these artists work on the human mind and then decide what tools and methods work best for you. We have a whole season to talk about more of these methods... 

After this episode and every other one, we'll be looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

In this episode, we discussed:


How they couldn't find mentors and teachers who linked the mind and body, and how they fixed that problemVictims in the dance worldJulia as a medium for choreographing New thought movement and mysticism foundations of Humanhood workParalysing fears and how Julia and Rudi overcame themJulia and Rudi’s Daily practiceJulia and Rudi’s Daily practiseThe Financial scarcity blueprint in the dance industry and how Julia and Rudi overcame it.
We referenced:
Florence Shinn Scovel
Neville Goddard
Thomas Troward
Neale Donald Walsch
Bob Proctor
Abraham Hicks
Osho
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Wallace Delois Wattles


At the end of each episode, Bridget will give you a short summary of what was said and a simple exercise that will help you take the best parts of the episode and try them out for yourself.
