Angie Belcher
Standup poet, comedy actor and writer,
equally at home headlining on the
standup circuit as in a posh tent in a

your head wondering what just
happened. Magners Pub Comedian

Growing and eating low on the food chain offers many advantages
to both Majority and Minority World citizens. Efficient resource use
through eating crops first-hand is vital for food sustainability not
just because there is more food, but because there is less conflict
over land, water and energy resources. vegansociety.com

Shi# Your
States Of
Consciousness
For Health,
Happiness And
Success
It is increasingly being
recognised that state of
mind is a hugely significant
factor in both health
(physical and emotional) and
personal achievement, but
what is less often recognised
is that we live in a culture
that chronically biases us
towards states of consciousness that undermine us both mentally
and physically. Drawing on his experience as a Hypnotist and
Meditator, and underpinning it with powerful scientific research,
James will show you how to shift your consciousness for living a
better, healthier life.
