"All things are marvellous

If only we look well.

Is the little seed more marvellous?

Or roses? - 

Who can tell?"

​​

What came first I have often wondered, the Apple or the Seed?

Apple Aniseed Arts was born to carry this quest along. ​

Many evolving questions and nuances of Meaning known and unknown around “Home” and Homelessness”;  “Wealth” and “Poverty”; "Health and Illness", have inspired my lifelong search, to consider the purposefulness of polarisation, and my responsibility towards it. 

 

With new respect and experiential understanding for the sensitive beauty and wisdom of the human struggle, I strive to build bridges between the perceived opposites within myself, and in artistic conversation with others, which forms the foundation of all my practices and self-enquiry of Life. 

​​

I invite participants bearing new life to access inner calm, resilience, and trust in their intuition. 

I invite developing children to engage with imaginative ways of learning, where Goodness can be discerned as a felt sense of their sense for truth. 

I invite participants in their adolescence and adult phases to move dynamically between imagination, and intellect as a process to explore the literal and symbolic we may feel confronted by. Trusting the questions and the many view points around them, ca in time offer self-confidence that knows when and how to challenge as well as accept all thought-life. 

In essence, the effort to take an interest in the unfamiliar and unknown 'other' within our experiences, may offer new inspirations for those who are willing to approach oneself through wonder, openness, and reverence. 

 

One may carry the question: “How can I as a human being alive now, learn to Breathe between the many Opposites of Life that seek to pull me towards extremes - both of which weave through my Heart in different directions, inviting flexibility?”

The Transpersonal Arts approach starts from a place of wholeness and honours our birth-rite and potential for Thinking with our Hearts and Minds. 

​​

Like the seasons of Nature and the moving stars, change is increasingly inevitable.

How can we learn to hold the balance between the many polarities that meet us though Life? Moving through discomforts, imbalances, challenges, and illnesses, the weather may change, new horizons may be perceived, and new ground found under the feet. 

In time, we may come to say: "As I open to change, my relationship to myself changes, and the relationships around me change, for I am changed through my reflective relationships".

​

In Goethe’s fairytale “The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily”, a King asks the Snake : 

“How comest thou hither?

Through the cleft in which the gold abides,” answered the Snake.

What is nobler than gold?” asked the King. 

“Light,” replied the Snake.

And what is more vivid than light?” continued the King.

Speech,” said the Snake.

 

Having struggled to find the words to describe my observations and experiences, I found a way that is a conversation - more precious than Gold!

So, I design and facilitate bespoke workshops with Eurythmy exercises - the Art of Visible Speech (as given by Rudolf Steiner), and arts-based processes using a variety of arts media, poems, songs, and stories to enter a guided self-enquiry. 

 

I am deeply grateful to have moved through careers as an international Bollywood dancer and singer, and through different retail roles, marketing roles, and high-end corporate banking roles. I am now a Transpersonal Therapeutic Arts Facilitator supporting people to discover the feeling of coming Home to Oneself, where the Source of Meaning may invite a wider view of Wealth, Health, and Home. 

​

​

I look forward to working alongside you.
