Interviews with Students of The Way of The Livingness

David Pearce

14/12/2018

David Pearce was born, raised and educated in England and now finds himself living in California because of his line of work in Information Technology. However, David decided to take a 'career break' (prior to accepting the work opportunity in California) and during that time he learned how to care for himself in a way that he had not previously been doing. You'll love this story of a man learning how to 'be' with himself, how to care for himself - and then taking that back out into the work arena.

I recently interviewed David's wife, Alison Braid,and you will learn more about the development of their relationship and marriage earlier this year in her interview. See a link to Alison's interview at the bottom of this interview.

Alison Braid

30/11/2018

Alison Braid is an English woman living in California. From that one sentence, I am filled with questions. I didn't really know Alison before the interview, although I had met her briefly when she was in Australia last. So join me as we meet her together and find out how, why, and when an English woman moves to the west coast of the USA.

In this interview we discuss that international move and what was, at the time, a new relationship that spurred the move (and how that relationship has changed during the last five years), what she thinks about living in North America, her volunteer work and, of course, as always we find out how she reconnected to the Ageless Wisdom.

Alison is a fun story teller, in a casual cup-of-tea way. After 15 minutes you will feel like you know her. I did.

Beverley Bulmer

14/7/2018

Beverley Bulmer is a funeral celebrant in the UK. In the course of supporting bereaved families, she realised that they needed a lot of information - and while that information was available for those with the time and inclination to do the research, it wasn't easily accessible in one place. This was the seed of what has become her recently launched website, Leaving Gracefully. The information package is available in both hardcopy and electronic version. Of course, the information is specific to residents of the UK. However, the overall concept of taking responsibility for our end of life matters is relevant to us all, no matter where we live.

Talking with Beverley left me feeling that those people who do take care of their personal and financial matters prior to their passing, are in a better position to let go when the time comes. What comes up for you when you listen to this interview?

Rosanna Bianchini

27/6/2018

Rosanna Bianchini is living a quieter, more country lifestyle nowadays. Although being only a couple of hours out of London, her work as a property renovator / property manager still keeps her connected to big city life. Once I managed to catch up with her, we discussed her work, both as a property renovator and as an esoteric practitioner.

Rosanna, as an esoteric practitioner, offers Esoteric Yoga for private and group sessions; she is also involved as part of the core team on the Unimed Living Yoga Sphere and Esoteric Yoga Stillness Program for Women and a founding member of EsotericYoga.com So who better to talk to about Esoteric Yoga! In this interview she gives us a beautiful summary of what esoteric yoga is about and the benefits of it.

As always, we find out how she reconnected to the Ageless Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon.

Julie Matson

18/2/2018

Earlier this month, I interviewed Leigh Matson about her project The Reality of Gaming. As a parent myself, I naturally was curious about how her parents felt about Leigh's addiction to gaming. I contacted her mother who agreed to be interviewed. Before I got around to asking Julie how it was as the mother of a gamer, I found myself interested in Julie's life in London and, of course, how she had re-connected to the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom as presented in this era by Serge Benhayon. Julie had her own remarkable story about her health at the time of finding the Ageless Wisdom. I really enjoyed Julie's very unassuming way of telling her story.

We did eventually get around to discussing how it was as the parent of a gamer, the subtle early signs that all was not well and how she feels today about Leigh's work in educating the public through her YouTube videos about gaming.

You can listen to the interview with her daughter, Leigh Matson, here.

Leigh Matson

30/1/2018

Leigh Matson loved gaming. It was a way of life - for approximately 14 years, playing video games is what she planned her day around. Miraculously she was able to see what had happened and made the decision to change. She freed herself from the need for gaming and now, four years later, she is sharing her experience with the world.

What I love about Leigh is that there is no rah-rah about I did that and now I'm doing this. She is just a young woman sharing her experience. Make of it what you will, she seems unattached to your response yet dedicated to her project which is called 'The Reality of Gaming.'

You can listen and watch her talk about gaming on her YouTube channel The Reality of Gaming and read her blogs at The Reality of Gaming.

Carmel Reid

13/1/2018

Carmel Reid had been planning to immigrate from the UK to Australia in November 2016. But as often happens, best-laid plans require re-arranging. Carmel is now living in Australia but one of the outcomes of that three month delay was that she started posting on Facebook and ended up posting for 365 consecutive days. We discuss the delay, the Facebook posts, why she has moved to Australia (a relationship) and what she thinks of life in Australia.

You’ll enjoy Carmel’s ‘realness’, her openness and her practical approach to life.

She is in relationship with Nick Bason who I interviewed a couple of years ago. Nick’s interview was with his daughter, Rosie, and grand-daughter, Ocean, - an interview with 3 Generations which you can listen to here.

Dragana Brown

4/7/2017

If you don't know Dragana Brown, google Huffington Post UK and put her name in the search field. Reading just one of her articles will give you a good idea of the passion and power of this woman. We start the interview with her early childhood in Yugoslavia. After finding out how she ended up in the UK we move on to what it takes to be an advocate for Freedom of Speech and Truth in Journalism. At the conclusion of the interview Dragana describes the change that occurred in her and the change that happened to her writing after her first Universal Medicine presentation.

The change that she shares sheds some insight onto the previous interview with Michael Brown, her son, when he is talking about his relentless inquiry on her home from her first presentation by Serge Benhayon. Enjoy these back-to-back son and mother interviews.

Michael Brown

19/6/2017

You’ll enjoy this interview with Michael Brown. It is so refreshing to speak to a 21 year old who is putting himself out to the world because, in his words, “My life is too good not to share.”

Michael is studying a Bachelor in Mathematics and Statistics as well as working at a large supermarket in London, serving as a team leader, applying for managerial duties. He also shares how he woke up one day and thought he could play the piano so he went out and bought a keyboard and a couple of months later he was playing at a friend’s wedding in front of 150 people. Brave, eh! And you’ll love his idea about Philosophy on Whiteboard. Enjoy!

Oh, BTW, Michael is the son of Dragana Brown (who will be the guest in the next Fiery Service interview.)

Alan Morden, Art Director

6/1/2017

Alan Morden is interviewed by Gayle Cue on Bay FM Community Radio. Alan is the former Art Director of Satchi & Satchi, Australia's leading advertising agent. He came to Byron Bay for a holiday, ended up buying a farm and moving to the area, where he met Serge Benhayon. Subsequently, Alan began to shake all the stress and bad habits he had been living in his high pressured career in Sydney, London and Johannesburg. Alan speaks very honestly about those changes. Now as a vital part of the Byron Bay community he is taking his skills as an Art Director into the schools. You can find out a bit more about Alan here.
