Another great day yesterday at the Greystones Plaza Market.. there is no denying it can be exhausting setting up etc and with the challenges of the weather and the possibility of my gazebo flying away! 😅But it’s been a great experience meeting so many other vendors who have been so supportive and helpful. I’ve also had the most heartfelt connection and conversations with people. It’s been uplifting to get such a huge positive reaction and interest in my artwork. I loved hearing people’s feedback, and genuine resonance and love for my illustrations. I really appreciate their positive comments. I’m really enjoying the interaction and often deep conversations that are triggered. Thanks again to everyone for making this a very special space to connect with each other and our wider community☺️❤️✨ ⭐️ -drawn ❤️🙏👏👏

Commemorating the 125th
Birth Anniversary of Babuji❤️

Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur (1899-1973) fondly know as Babuji, was a yogi hailing from Utter Pradesh, Northern India.

He dedicated the majority of his life to the development and propagation of a unique method of Raja Yoga meditation known as Sahaj Marg.
( known today as Heartfulness)

Three large gatherings are taking place in Kanha Shanti Vanam in India to commemorate the 125th Birth Anniversary of Babuji. This mega meditation event is poised to welcome an astounding 125,000 to meditate and commemorate the 125th Birth Anniversary of Babuji.

I’am sure my dear departed friend Pro.Ivor Browne, will be present in spirit. Ivor was very fortunate to have met Babuji and spent much time in his presence ❤️💚

I was very heartened to receive this endow from my friend Damo, who I first met and worked with at Emerald City Productions animation studio in the early nineties. Damian founded Caboom, an animation production company with a passion for animation and puppetry. I had the opportunity to work him again, and have always admired his talent and passion to succeed in his chosen career. ❤️

Damo was a puppet captain on Universal Pictures ‘Jurassic World Dominion’. He has also been a puppeteer and creature performer for Star Wars on Lucas Film’s ‘The Rise of Skywalker’, ‘The Last Jedi’, ‘The Force Awakens’, ‘Rogue one’, ‘Solo’ and ‘Andor’ performing numerous characters under the direction of JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, Ron Howard, Chris Miller, Phil Lord, Tony Gilroy and Gareth Edwards. These are just some if his amazing achievements. I just want to take the opportunity to thank him for all his valuable advice and support over the years! ☺️❤️ #
