Welcome to The Truth Matters Blog. The time is now, and the future is filled with possibility! We hope you’ll return to this page regularly and catch up with our speakers, contributors and delegates for innovative ideas and exciting insights into true health, enlightenment and empowerment.
With just three weeks to go till our next event, in London on November 26th, we’re excited and thrilled by the powerful programme we have planned. If you can get to London on November 26th, you’ll want to be at the Lighting the Way to Radiant Wellness event!
In the weeks leading up to the event, we’ll be sharing insights from some of the speakers and contributors and previewing their work. We’ll give you some tasters and some ideas of what you can expect from what promises to be one of the most innovative and informative events on health and holistic wellbeing in the UK this year.
We’re privileged to be bringing together some of the most innovative teachers in the world for this event. They’re diverse in their areas of expertise and in their approaches, but all are seekers of truth, interested in healthy, radiant and vibrant living. They’re all are trailblazers and they’re all motivated by a desire to empower us by sharing what they’ve learned.
Our speakers have common aims of truth, vibrancy and radiant health, and they’re diverse enough to guarantee that whoever you are, you’ll be inspired and you may just find something that helps you along your personal path to transformation. Whether your interest lies in healing from illness, increasing vitality or being the very best that you can be on every level of your being, you’ll find someone here who’ll guide you towards true radiance.
When we spoke to some of this month’s speakers about The Truth Matters, we found that they are all motivated by a very genuine desire to enable optimal health and wellbeing, with one powerful common theme. There’s a real buzz among them, and that buzz is about that little word, ‘truth’.
We’re all familiar with the quote that ‘the truth shall set you free’, but really that’s only half the picture. It’s the knowing what the truth is and having the tools to apply that knowledge that lead to true wellness and enlightenment. All of our speakers are committed to discovering what is really true and to sharing not only that truth but the means to applying it to empower us to achieving health and wellbeing at every level of human experience.
Dean Rees-Evans told us that he felt that this event was the perfect opportunity to point people towards true wellness through a simple shift in perspective. Dean told us that the title ‘The Truth Matters’ was what first drew him to working with us. Truth is at the core of Dean’s life’s work: he has found it through The Three Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought, and he’s passionate about guiding others to living lives as joyful as his is. As the UK’s only researcher into the effectiveness of the Three Principles, Dean has amassed academic evidence that they are the bedrock of true wellbeing, but even more convincing is his own demeanour: your first thought on meeting him will be ‘I want some of whatever he’s having’!
Rob van Overbruggen PhD is committed to empowering cancer patients with the truth. Rob is concerned about the conventional approach to cancer treatment, where the patient hands over their power to the therapist. Even with complementary therapies, patients can overlook their own ability to release the negative thoughts and feelings that are keeping them sick. Rob knows that true healing can take place when we learn to release those feelings, and his talk will focus on how we can reclaim our power to positively affect the body’s ability to heal itself.
Philip Weeks agrees. Philip is a leading expert on natural medicine and nutrition. He finds inspiration daily in the body’s ability to heal itself when we give it what it needs and remove the toxic influences which slow down healing. Those toxic influences can be mental, emotional or physical. Philip has studied holistic medical traditions from throughout the world and has combined and condensed them into five key principles that he calls the Wheel of Health. Philip told us that he loves The Truth Matters because it’s a great way of getting important, even life-saving, information from front-line innovators in health out to as many people as possible.
Dr Mark Atkinson echoes those feelings. He told us: ‘I’m involved with this conference quite simply because the truth really does matter. I really mean that.’ Mark is a rare creature: a medical doctor who recognises the central role of the emotions and whose work is centred on the importance of mindfulness and lifestyle-based practices to true wellness. He sees his involvement in the conference as a wonderful opportunity to share his perspective on how life can look and feel when we live with presence and deep integrity. At the heart of Mark’s work is a focus on training the mind and working with the body to liberate our potential for health, well-being and personal growth.
Karen Knowler is passionate about the link between what we actually put into our bodies and how we experience life. Discovering this link transformed Karen’s body and her life, and her passion has led to her becoming the world’s leading expert on living foods and how eating optimally can lead to transformation on every level. Her unique approach to rejuvenation and renewal of mind and body has earned her the respect and admiration of raw foodies throughout the world and from every walk of life. Karen is very excited to be part of Lighting the Way to Radiant Wellness, which she recognises as something that is changing the UK and with it, the world at large.
We believe that the speakers and contributors to this month’s event are not just world-class: they’re mould-breaking innovators, lighting the way for all of us to find what is possible when we recognise our power and potential for living life with passion and joy.
We’re very excited about the London event: with all of these amazing educators under one roof, the day promises to be transformational! Please do return to this page soon for more contributor profiles and updates. See you on the 26th!
