Berverly and Viarnne speak with Frederick Marx, President of Warrior Films – a social profit company with the mission statement: “Bearing Witness, Creating Change.”
From Frederick “We produce compelling documentary films about solutions to the world’s problems: Everyday people finding ways to overcome oppressive socio-economic barriers. Most known for HOOP DREAMS, we tell transformational stories that transform lives. Though we specialize in stories of the poor, youth, people of color, the dispossessed, foreigners… each story is subject specific. We go worldwide to tell the right story. Our last film was set among Tibetans in Zanskar, India. http://www.journeyfromzanskar.com. Our next film is about the necessity of providing rites of passage for teens to attain maturity. The film after that will focus on returning US combat veterans getting the healing they deserve through a weekend workshop called Veterans Journey Home. http://www.fmarxfilm.com/newAmericanHeroes.html We’re changing the world… one story at a time.”

Viarnne chats with Suzie Plakson about the birth of her long awaited, long gestated creation “The Return of King Lillian”
You can contribute to the launch of this unique ebook / audio book by jumping on Kickstarter before 10 May
This mythic tale is a newfangled narrative with an old-fashioned feel.
An allegorical story for non-conformists of all ages.
So, why the manly moniker in tandem with the womanly name?
“The Firstborn Child of The Emperor-King
Inherits the Ruling Crown, the Title of Emperor-King
and All Powers Thereof.”
~ Item 37, The Royal Manual
Enter Lillian, the firstborn child of said Emperor-King.
Cast out of her kingdom by malevolent forces,
mysteriously waylaid by Destiny,
the spirited, self-reliant Lillian sets off on an exuberant journey
to find her way home and claim her birthright.
As we speak, the book is finished – yahoo! – and in the process of being edited and polished. And now we want to bring it to you in as fine a fashion as possible.
I feel so fortunate that such terrifically talented people are coming on board to create the most artful possible website: a gorgeous reading ride, and a downloadable, streaming audio experience. Yes, this will also be an audiobook, recorded by me. (Rumor has it I’m a professional actress.)
So, there’s art to commission, an entire book to record, studio costs, editing, and, oh – a whole smorgasbord of necessary technical etceteras that I can’t even begin to understand – all of which are essential to the creation of an elegant website. We want to design a cool place to come relax and stay awhile. And the funding, of course, is what will make all of this possible.
The dream: The book first blooms into this extraordinary website, which, if the winds are with us, eventually grows into a portal for a variety of related media, and, yes – an old-fashioned, beautifully crafted hardcover book of “The Return of King Lillian.”
So, should you choose to favor us with your profoundly kind and generous support, you will, of course, have our everlasting gratitude. Additionally, please peruse the variety of “thank you!” gifts presented along the right-hand side of this page.
Thank you for stopping by.
Thank you for listening and watching and reading.
Thank you for even thinking about being our patron saints.

While Narelle was off touring around London, Viarnne and Peter talk with Jonathon Watson, Sales and Marketing Manager from Ortech Industries about Durra Straw Panels. See if you can spot the running joke about apples… and what the heck has that got to do with these truly excellent building panels? Absolutely nothing!
Suzie talks with Viarnne about using creativity for healing. The arts have such an evocative influence in our life and we can use this influence to create healing in so many ways. A song can instantly make us smile or even bring us to tears – such is the power of music as the muse that touches everyone in some way. Whether it be painting, sculpting, dancing, poetry… every form of art has the power to heal.
The introduction includes Suzie’s track ‘Mother Nature’s Daughter’
Beverley and Viarnne speak with Malathy Drew, visionary founder of Whispering Energy, about the power of social media to connect and make a difference and the Revolution4Evolution projects
