Stian and Abi were the perfect and charismatic hosts in their beautiful home. From the moment I entered I was greeted with so much warmth, ease, enthusiasm and kindness. As I was admiring the cool and atmospheric jungle-themed interior decor of the room I was to stay in with its artwork Abi told me she was the artist of the stunningly and delicate otherworldly watercolour painting on the wall. It was called "Bear with me"....a perfect title for the magical theme, you'll see why if you chose to stay.
Stian is a master of his art too - multi-talented musician, music producer, writer, and composer. Abi is also a musician, and they both sing in their own band, tour and produce their own music or in collaboration with others.....
I was truly in awe of both the complex (to me) technology they use with such ease, but mostly inspired by their talent and their youth in reaching for the dreams and goals they both have individually and together as a couple.
They are multi-talented and it seems, fearless.....an evening spent with them over a delicious meal prepared by Abi, often with locally-foraged plants and herbs, will reveal further hidden depths. I loved the painting of a map of the world on their living room wall where international visitors can point to their country, and Stian can describe Norway, his own, geographically and through his direct experience of it.
'The Magical Child' is usually drilled out of us early on through conventional education, conditioning, and work. Abi's Art and Stian's eclectic music show that they still embody it fully through their buoyant enthusiasm for life, incredible and unwavering self-belief and self-determination, and ability to manifest their dreams. With that mindset of no doubt and all possibility, nothing seems beyond their reach.
If you would like to experience an engaging evening (or several of them) with Abi and Stian, you will be transported into their world accompanied by their cat and tortoise who will be a part of the conversation. And then, into the comfort of the jungle room where you will fall into dreams perhaps.
Thank you for giving me a glimpse into your bright and creatively-inspired world.
