Welcome to Episode 12 in which I interview Nic Parsons, an artist and arts & health practitioner, who also happens to be my lovely sister. Here’s a bit more about her:

Nic has an MA in Arts, Health & Well-being and is a qualified F.E tutor. She began her career as a scenic artist working for Welsh National Opera on theatre and opera sets that were shared across the globe.

She has worked within the community on a wide variety of funded projects as an arts tutor and arts development officer, bringing together a variety of creatives to work on exciting and innovative workshops and exhibitions, with an aim to supporting well-being and providing a platform for community members to showcase their artwork to a broader audience.

In her own practice she embraces nature as her muse. Exploring natural forms and colour palettes through a variety of mediums such as illustration, paint and textiles.

Welcome to Episode 11, in which I talk with Ecstatic Dance Brighton founder, Anna-Lisa Drew. I love ecstatic dance and I’ve enjoyed many of her events, both indoors and outside in nature. Here’s a bit more about her:

Raised between the wilds of West Africa and the mystical lands of Avalon, Anna-Lisa creates transformative spaces for expression, empowerment, and play through Ecstatic Dance. Blending deep, primal bass with sensual flow and electrifying drops, her carefully crafted journeys invite expansion, wild abandon, and soulful stillness.

Founder of Ecstatic Dance Brighton and co-founder of Avalon Dance Odyssey, she is a driving force in the conscious dance scene. Her work spans Ecstatic Dance UK, Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Samsara Retreat, and major festivals like Wilderness, Boomtown, and Buddhafields. With a background in Taoist movement, well-being, and art therapy, she holds space for profound transformation through the power of dance.
