Group Photo

Marlene Neumann’s NEW exciting talk ,’More time being Less time Doing’ was welcomed by excited attendees in East London at her picturesque Centre for Photography and Light in February.

Drawing and sharing from her vast experiences and talking with her heart on her sleeve Marlene shared the “moment of being” with a cross section of people that had no idea what to expect.

Her talk centered on the importance of BEING and not always DOING.

Marlene gently introduced the various ideas of what it means to be in the moment. And how to achieve that state in a world that has gone mad.

After the talk Marlene shared her love of cooking something VEGAN.

Marlene has been a vegan for over 15 years and takes every opportunity to introduce people to the variety of taste and textures that can be used to create a delicious meal.

Marlene has a number of talks scheduled in East London for 2020.

Inspirational speaker at Fundraising in St Francis

Marlene was invited as the Inspirational Speaker for the St Francis Animal Welfare Fundraiser.

Susan Ray Fox approached Marlene as the founder of this amazing group that works with animals in the Sea Vista settlement in St Francis. The funds raised will be used to assist the dogs and their owners.

Marlene pushed the audience out of their comfort zones. Drawing on her recent experience Marlene shared the space outside her comfort zone that she has lived in since her fall.

At the end of August Marlene broke and fractured her wrist and hip bone when she was on the beach in the early morning with her dogs. Sharing her experience and vulnerability Marlene reminded everyone that they have to WAKE UP!

Animal lovers and people connected to Marlene supported this worthy cause.

The event was hosted at the St Francis Links and Marlene had the crowd following her outside on to the beautifully manicured lawns moving to the music and celebrating life.

It was a morning to remember!
