1: Introduction -The Return To Our Essence

2: The Essence of food and fermentation

Healthy Mays - Fermentation and a balanced nutrition Welcome to ‘The Return to Our Essence’ podcast - with Mike Parry and special guests from a range of industries and areas of life, from food, music, sleep and dance to health, business, sex, love & relationships. Join us as we embark on a journey of returning to our essence, to the source of life. Our aim is to gain a better understanding of where the things we do and love in life come from, how we can get the most out of life, and also, how we can give the most back to life, by living in honour of our essence. Today we’re digging deep into the essence of food, how to preserve it, prepare it and enjoy it in a balanced and holistic approach to a life that cares for the mind, body and soul. To help me dig deeper and discover more on this journey, I’m joined by Mays Al Ali aka Healthy Mays, a registered nutritionist, fermentation specialist, yoga and reiki teacher who has recently moved her lucky life over to Ibiza and sure does know how to advocate and educate on a holistic and balanced approach to life. “I was once a very different person to who I am today.  It was 2011 and I had built a successful career in advertising, whilst, numbing myself to the stresses of life with a typical London hedonistic lifestyle.  I was unaware that what I was really seeking was what yogis call ‘samadhi’ - a state of eternal bliss deep inside us all.  The joy I was looking for was already inside me, I just had to find it.”Mays Al Ali aka Healthy Mays Since recording this podcast, Mays has helped me to grow my own SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast...named Suzy ;-) ), as well as guided me on growing her and keeping her healthy and well so she can produce just over a litre of my very own, homemade Kombucha each week. This is a simple step to great gut health which I enjoy as a tasty and refreshing start to my days. Mays is a beautiful example and living proof of the healthy and healing benefits of the balanced, holistic approach to life that I love to discover and share through our Return To Essence Podcast and throughout our Eat Sleep Rave Retreats.

Community Spirit Ezine - Valencia & Ibiza

After a 2019 talk I did at Ibango in Ibiza for Stacey Harris's Gifts & Talent Sharing event wherein I shared how using a 'chipping away' technique to 'move mountains with a small spade' has been an integral part of the journey of building a Lucky Life, Richard T Voller of the Community Spirit Ezine asked to feature me on his podcast and website. Richard and I caught up for a talk about living a Lucky Life, integrating balance into a hedonistic and entrepreneurs lifestyle, using the chipping away concept and the Eat Sleep Rave Retreat event series I have recently launched in Ibiza. After being the most listened to interview of 2019 on his podcast, Richard has kindly allowed me share it here on my "Getting Lucky At Life" podcast page here for you, the Lucky Listeners. So do enjoy and stay connected as I will soon be catching up with Richard about his work and passions as an Aura painter and how he found this  unique calling in his life.
