That’s your job as an artist - to perceive the world in a multi-dimensional, inter-dimensional way.

Your job is to create your own world within this world because you’re creative, that’s what you do.

The more you do that, the more you actually detach from the system and you see it for what it is a...

The natural world is the greatest nervous system regulator we have. 

The more time you spend in the natural world, the more gratitude your nervous system has for being alive. 

You build this relationship with the natural world incrementally little by little and you begin to realize wow this ...

There is no change without slowing down.
because in order to shift anything, you have to create space for it !

If you’re still on the TGV or parkouring your way through your life and expect things to change, they’re not going to.

Change can be a little bit awkward, the only thing is it’s much easier if...

This whole process is about practising a sense of ease: comfort, pleasure, and rest.

In the beginning, some nervous systems will be highly activated, caught in fight, flight, or freeze, with a lot of overwhelm and anxiety. So what you might experience as rest and digest may initially feel like simp...

The thing most often getting in actors’ way was their anxiety. And as I learned to read their neurobiology through my training in Organic Intelligence, I started to understand where the creative system becomes really organized, fruitful and playful.

I created a system that I call The Creative Path....

Actors, just be present!

Because what actors don’t realise it’s about your nervous system getting used to one film to the next film to the next

I say to actors : pray that in the beginning you’re not cast in something huge because your body is not going to be ready for it.

Your body needs to get used...

Heartbroken 💔 by the news of Glen Hansard’s sudden passing.

What a beautiful artist and incredible human being . He had a rare ability that no matter where he was he brought people together. His spirit will be deeply missed.

Why do we regulate the nervous system, and why do we pay attention to it?

Because the more regulated your nervous system is, the more you can take in, and the more you can take in on every level.

You can take things in sensorially. You can take them in through images, emotions, sensations, insight...

It has been an inspiration and a joy to spend the last twenty weeks together. Thank you for your courage, artistry and generosity towards one another. I wish you continued curiosity and deepening of your life and art and May you be a source of restoration and inspiration to one another moving forwar...

There’s something very powerful when you allow the natural world to become the reflection of your ego rather than what people think about you as a reflection of your ego and we have to train that because most of us don’t live in forests. Most of us live in cities.

We actually have to train and reme...

The actor’s foundation is ease, pleasure, play - That will give you a very long career.

Because you won’t take it seriously, and yet you’ll take it very seriously. The very serious part is the practice. The thing you don’t take seriously is your relationship to it, in the sense of, you want to buil...

Actors, don’t get trapped in the triangle of hell! 

So many actors have “The imagination” and “The Thinking Channel” and can be very alive.

This is how they act - in relationship between their imagination and their thoughts and then you get emotion and you've got this triangle of hell because it's...

The inclusion of the body is the game changer, because it's not about the content, it's not about the words.

It's actually, as you know, it's about something that's beneath them and the layers of resonance beneath them and what they have to do with the past and the future and the expectation and th...

Actors, we're moving out of intensity into complexity.

So what I mean by that is intensity is where the thoughts are racing and the images may be very abundant, but actually the body is in fight, flight, freeze or fawn.

I saw this a lot when working with actors, where the eyes would be very intens...

Acting isn’t emotional, it’s sensational and it’s about the senses

For one emotion, you can have a dozen sensations.

Sometimes if we feel, it’s only alive when we have the emotional connection, instead of it’s as alive if there’s your image, and your senses are on board, it’s just that it’s a less...

Actors, the body needs a really trusted space, not a safe space. 

We don’t want to create a “safe space” because for many of us “safe” means stay the same and “stay safe” can mean “do all our own habits” because the body is going “oh I feel safe if it’s just like it was all along”.

It’s not a “saf...

Actors, it isn't your mind that walks into the audition, it's your body

So the thing you have to focus on is, how do I give my body the skills that allows it walk into any situation, whether that's an audition onto a film set, into a rehearsal room, how can Ino matter where I am give it signals tha...

Actors, allow the natural world to be the thing that regulates your nervous system.

You’re not looking at it from another person or another group of people

The career itself is destabilizing because there’s
no structure to it and it’s changing all the time and it’s very unknown.

And if you allow t...

Actors, remember art in times of conflict is really important!

The significance of your art form is enormous, because you’re in a world that does trial by social media, trial by content, trial by what I think about someone, what I believe about someone or, trial by how I feel about someone.

You ha...

Run in the fields and in the garden, sit in the sun, meditate, dance, spend time in water, sit in the sun, be with and in natural waters, walk in nature, lie on a tree and look up at the branches and the sky, go for a walk with your dog, go for a swim in the sea, sing, get to a beach, and stroke a d...
