There has been nothing but praise, from many quarters; your talk went seamlessly and naturally from being&nbsp;<strong>uplifting, disturbing , and entertaining in turn<\/strong>. Above all it was&nbsp;<strong>informative and interesting throughout<\/strong>.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I really enjoyed your event at Torriano this evening. Everything: 1,000 falafels, the many words, the few songs and poems, singing to the film, the fresh air break half-way through \u2026 It had&nbsp;<strong>the mood of a family celebration<\/strong>&nbsp;even if I was not a family member.

I had no previous knowledge of the culture or the fascinating history of Iran apart from what I have heard through the various forms of media. The way you presented your information was very warm, humorous and \u2018down to earth\u2019 and in such a way which I would consider to be accessible to many people\u2026 your dedication towards your endeavour to create peace and understanding amongst people is very inspiring and heartening in a time when there is so much unrest, sadness, pain and loss in the world, both globally and locally for many people.<br \/>\nKim Dale, exhibition visitor at TOC H hall, Tunbridge Wells<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILM: The making of Conscious Oil.
