The Welsh Valleys have nothing worth listening to!

If that made you prickle then good. That means you have a lot in common with the fine gentleman in this picture.

Let me introduce you to Andy Caress (who is likely to get quite embarrassed by this post but it needs to be said). Andy got so fed up with the way valley communities of South Wales are overlooked, he did something monumental. He decided to create a TEDx event in the heart of the Welsh valleys.

He works tirelessly to coordinate and organise this annual event to ensure everything aligns with TEDx criteria and thus ensures a global stage for what the press recently termed, 'the forgotten valley!'

He goes above and beyond in finding and coaching speakers for TEDxNantymoel in addition to coordinating venue, promotions, tech etc in addition to building relationships with the global TED community. It isn't easy but he does it because it matters!

If like Andy, you believe the Valleys have a great deal worth listening to, then why not grab a ticket and come lend your support at the live event on Sunday 20th October?

Well folks... waiting on the last train to get me home. No delays. No drama. It seems my train curse is finally broken! My first time experience of eurostar has been brilliant. So much less hassle than flying would have been!!

I'm sorry to disappoint but the journey is totally lacking in my usual drama. It's even sunny here in KΓΆln (Colgne).

This Wednesday (24th July), an idea which emerged from a conversation facilitated at 4theRegion AGM and fed through mutal interests with Andre van Wyk from Community Storywork sparks into life at Margam Country Park

What happens when you give an opportunity for people to share their own stories? Can one story feed another? What emerges and what can be gained? This is a big experiment and can't wait to see what emerges. Come to listen or come to share.

We will be making use of the brilliant mindful benches created by Chris Wood. It's gonna be a special afternoon, so if you're around, come and seek us out.

The great expansion!
BEYOND excited I have the chance to add the story of Charles Torrey Simpson back into my storytelling show called Nexus.
I regretted having to reduce his part to a passing comment when show duration needed to get down to 60 minutes. However now the show gets to take a full deep breath as a two part show with interval on 12th July in LLANGOLLEN !
You can catch it at St Collen's Community Hall

Don't suppose any of my contacts have a Yurt (or similar) they'd be willing to loan for the Green Gathering Riverside Centre Pontardawe this Sunday (9th June) ? πŸ€”

So whilst in Egypt, I get to meet my first Royal Palms. Why is that significant? Those who've heard my story show Nexus may recall these trees as being a vital trigger point in the fight to save the Everglades.
