Consom’Acteurs

PAUSE EPISODE

Hosted by Eileen Jackson for WRP

In this episode of “Holistic Being and Doing”, Eileen Jackson visits the specialist boutique, Consom’Acteurs located at 101, rue Mademoiselle in the 15th arrondissement. It is a shop that offers a range of ecological holistic solutions. It started out as an association in 2002 when Michel Bogé, an environmentalist with the help of his wife Francine, started the association to raise awareness about a responsible way to consume Loic Le Ribault’s Organic Silicon G5. Organic Silicon G5 is a food supplement, which is highly beneficial in the stimulation of collagen production in the body. The shop creates an environment of exchange to learn about organic, eco-friendly products and solutions where it’s also possible to discover well-being practices. Today, I have the pleasure of being here live in the boutique to speak with Amal, who works here.

Her work with individuals with special needs including autism, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, dyspraxia and attention deficit disorders, is often done in parallel with and as a part of a larger team, including the work of medical or para-medical professionals. Alongside her private practice, she has collaborated with the Neuro Group in multi-disciplinary week-long workshops with special needs children.

Aurélia BIRE

PAUSE EPISODE

Hosted by Eileen Jackson for WRP

In this episode of “Holistic Being and Doing”, Eileen Jackson welcomed artists Aurélia BIRE and her daugher Raphaëlle to speak about the vital role of art in their lives. After graduating business school in Paris, Aurélia BIRE built a successful career in consulting and finance until she came to a threshold moment and she took a leap of faith. She resigned from her position in order to go back to school to study art, design and architecture. In 2004, she set out on a new career path in interior design in London. Then in 2017, she launched her own design firm in Paris, Via Aurélia, that focuses on furniture design, art objects and spaces. In her holistic art approach, she reinvents how things are done, allowing for more attention on the individual, their story, projects and dreams.
