Mark Wentworth: Colour PsychoDynamics and Chromatic Connections

Mark Wentworth: Colour PsychoDynamics and Chromatic Connections

To celebrate International Colour Day and the Spring Equinox, we sit down with Global Colour Ambassador and creator of Colour PsychoDynamics, the world-renowned colour expert Mark Wentworth.

Join us as Mark explains the intricate world of Colour PsychoDynamics, exploring how it can bridge the gap between personal identity and purpose. With over 37 years of experience, Mark has guided groups, brands, and individuals in discovering their essence and harnessing the power of colour to overcome challenges through symbolism, theatre, archetypes, and the personification of colour.

Colour is deeply ingrained in our daily existence, yet its significance often goes unnoticed by many. There are many industries worldwide that rely heavily on colour choices and symbolism for success. Institutes such as Pantone and Coloro are famous for working with trend forecasters like WGSN on colour predictions; naming colours for each year and season. From influencing our decisions to shaping our social interactions, colour speaks directly to the subconscious and helps us express ourselves beyond words which can lead to transformative results. As the godfather of colour psychology, Carl Jung famously said, "Colours are the mother tongue of the subconscious".

Tune in to discover your colour profile and unlock new pathways to personal growth and fulfilment.

Available across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Amazon Music, and more.

Catherine Farrant: Ossa Organic, Fierce Nature, The Kinetic Blueprint - Biohacking Bliss

Catherine Farrant: Ossa Organic, Fierce Nature, The Kinetic Blueprint - Biohacking Bliss

In the season finale of Mindful Makers, we talk all things gut health, reducing toxic load and healing traumas. Sahar chats with three-time CEO and Founder, Catherine Farrant exploring how to take care of our minds, bodies, and spirits!

Through her passion for holistic living, natural healing, and biohacking Catherine created three brilliant brands:

Catherine’s products are sold in places ranging from Whole Foods Market to Selfridges and Planet Organic. She’s also been featured across British broadsheet papers such as The Guardian, The Telegraph, and the Sunday Times and more.

At the core of what Catherine teaches is an understanding that the modern world distracts individuals from their authentic selves, leading to a disconnection from nature, poor health, and a lack of fulfilment. Catherine believes that through ancestral eating, non-toxic skincare and working through “The Three Pillars” for healing, we can find balance and true health, leaving us feeling more connected, content and inspired.

Asareh Ebrahimpour - The Artist's Way

Asareh Ebrahimpour - The Artist's Way

Curiosity is a gateway to endless possibilities, and this week, we invite you to reflect on where your own curiosity will take you...

In this episode, we embark on a journey of choosing to connect with our inner voice in order to uncover our soul’s purpose through the story of Asareh Ebrahimpour.  Asareh is a Persian interdisciplinary artist and an experienced art performer based in Dubai. She works across several modalities ranging from painting, sculpture, performance art, poetry and sound to challenge the traditional forms of visual art. She has performed and exhibited at the United Nations, Expo 2020, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), and the Oxford Festival of the Arts to name a few.

Having started her career as an interior designer, it was her curiosity and passion for Creative Expressive Art Therapy, Somatic Therapy and dance that led her to become the only artist in the GCC region conducting Therapeutic Expressive Movement Art workshops (Draw In Motion).

In a world where instant gratification reigns, and we are taught that “faking it till you make it” is the key to success, it can be confusing when trying to make your dreams a reality. But what if, instead of rushing towards success, we took a moment to truly understand what ignites our souls? What if our dreams could materialise through experimentation, moments of pause, and serendipitous encounters?

Asareh’s personal journey invites us to question what truly lights us up and makes room for the unknown.

Join us as we unravel the mysteries of listening to your soul's purpose and nourishing its deepest desires. Let's ignite our creative spirits and embark on a quest to uncover the hidden magic that resides within each of us.

To discover more about Asareh, follow her on https://www.instagram.com/_asareh.ebrahimpour_/
