It’s me! (Ella of Ella Mesma Company!) I promised I would write once a month, and here I am!
How are you? How was the solstice? I had a beautiful moment practising my 108 sun salutations (but my right hamstring is a little sore!)
Last month we were commissioned by Rural Arts as part of Keepsake and our first interactive show (including The Getting Better Box designed by Leeds based artist Sami Lovett & A Jellyfish Love Song virtual world performance premiere! It was a beautiful moment, and we are super grateful to Megan Hamber and all the Rural Arts team, plus our friend Bryan Aldea at Topia who built us a most magnificent and playful world and all the incredible artists and team! Did you miss it? We will be back next month hosted by Hounslow Theatre, and then in September we will be putting on our very own show on the platform (more on that in July).
This month, I would love to invite you to two classes; my Kundalini Full Moon Meditation, a meditative journey with the Full Moon (Thursday 24th this month and Saturday 24th next month) Would you like to join me? Book here
and…
Metal New Artist Network Event: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome. Many of you may not know this but I have a massive ‘not belonging, I don’t fit, I am an imposter’ belief (yes for a long time I did not believe I was possible), and this was actually how I came to coaching (explained in my book Journal to Joy), and Metal, where I had the pleasure to be a resident back in 2019 have invited me to share some tricks and tips with artists. Want to know more? Book here
And finally, the video above is the amazing Ama Rouge and my podcast PowerUp! or PUP! This week we interviewed the amazing Leyla Okhai, how to carve out your own lane in business whilst keeping wellbeing and diversity at the centre of it. I had the pleasure of sitting next to Leyla Okhai on my first day of secondary school! Leyla is an incredbly inspiring human, and the founder and CEO of Diverse Minds, helping organisations to enhance cultural capability and workplace wellbeing to create a positively productive workplace for all. Listen to the full series here. Sessions include What is your ValUE with Valerie Ebuwa, Consent is a Privilege with Robyn Dalzen, and Do You Believe you are Possible? With Ama Rouge and I.
Sending you all my love, hugs and magic at this different time, and I will be back next month with some very exciting news…
I love you!
