Richard StuttleThe Healing Process through Creativity
Read moreBefore the pandemic, I was introduced to Hester Ligtvoet, we had briefly met a year or so earlier at the Arthur Findlay College. She is a professional pianist, healer, and energy coach. We were interested in how art and music can be combined with spiritual and energy healing. Working together on a weekly basis, Hester played the piano while I produced charcoal or pastel drawings. We worked with energy and the spirit world to create something focused, healing and unique.

Richard StuttleRecovery and Healing from Bacterial Meningitis
Read moreI shuffled around my home everything looked the same but slightly different. It felt surreal, the space was the same, but my viewpoint and understanding had shifted.

Richard StuttleHospital with suspected Bacterial Meningitis

I thought I was just run down, a cold, and now with the new Omicron variant, I thought that I had probably caught that. I had a headache, it got worse over a couple of days.

He taught me that life for everyone on this planet was a battle, survival of the fittest. Every living thing completes a life cycle; birth, growth, reproduction, death and feeds back into the food chain.

Richard StuttleThe Stolen Future of Caroline Ann Stuttle
Read moreIt was the end of another amazing winter season in Meribel, my third in The Three Valleys. I’d first visited in 1999; it was now April 2002. I’d been working as a chef, alongside a host, and ski guide, running a chalet for eighteen guests. It was hard work and it felt like it had been a long season. The snow had turned, making it very wet and slushy; the lower runs were…

Richard StuttleThe Originality of Thought
Read moreOriginal thought is completely necessary. As individuals we must come to our own conclusions, arrive at our own truths. It doesn’t matter whether that truth is a widely held belief or not, if a conclusion has been reached in the mind of the individual then it’s necessary.
