In 2014, I followed my heart to Washington where I worked as a personal and private chef, caterer, cooking class teacher, nanny and nutrition educator.

My specialty became Creative Cooking for clients with multiple food sensitivities and chronic health conditions along with a wealth of experience in U.S.A. classrooms.

Little did I know years later, I would experience chronic physical pain and creatively cook for myself which has provided me the ability to expand and grow.

My journey over the last 5 years led me to a variety of healing modalities which have been transformational… one of them being the power of manifestation.

Through a Vision Board manifestation process, a Magical Bus and multifaceted humanitarian project was birthed and her name is Persistence, aka Percy.

And since Percy entered my life, we have been helping others, specifically children through sensory exploration and heart connection classes.

Persistence and I have helped children foster independence as well as interdependence across Washington, California and Oregon and the dream is continue with more workshops which help create conscious awareness and teach relatable real world skills to help navigate through life.

My overall dream is to continue traveling with Percy and creating more community and unity through a variety of workshops: cooking; creative art projects; sound healing; movement and elemental wellness.

We have an insightful chat with Alison Adair, who explains how she creates vision boards to envision her future reality and what has manifested from her practice. She also explains why food has become a significant source of healing for her and fuels her desire to teach children how to prepare meals.

We chat about: manifesting a Glass House; discovering a schoolie; adopting Persistence; Inner Knowing; connecting with nature; helping others manifest their dreams; being the creator of our reality; honing it in; pivoting in the Divine Flow; adapting to new situations; the Inside Out concept; mapping out existence; and surrendering to Divine Timing.

We also learn about Dinner Date Collaborate and a get-away for guests to stay on Persistence, experience Forest Creek Dreams and have home-made meals prepared by Chef Alison.

Our insightful chat continues with Alison Adair, as she shares some of the most memorable experiences she has manifested since adopting her transformed school bus, Persistence and their mission.

We chat about: Mini Melt gathering; hosting Natalie Rize and her band mates; go-getter mentality; teaching overseas in Taiwan and Thailand; reconnecting with students; humbling reminders; attributes of plant medicine and their impact; Ayurvedic insights; and how plant ceremonies can provide personal insights.

Plus Alison shares the origins of Persistence name and why growing our own food and sharing it with others is a win-win situation.

Creatives Chat is an introspective talk show hosted by Peter Lucas and Rusty Hill that features a broad spectrum of insights.
