His presence greatly enhanced our group dynamics and he was always cheerful and asked really intelligent questions. At times he was quite reflective and would immerse himself in writing brilliant lyrics to his raps about the environment and love. Oh, and his singing voice in the ayahuasca hut, WOW, just Divine. He and I decided I must have surely been his mother in some previous lifetime and we stayed up late sharing our lives and bonding over insanely bad games of snooker in the jungle.
Turns out he lives in Manchester where I have been based the past year and he and Leisa got to know each other quite well. She informed him of the "Best Job in the World", a competition to become the face of tourism for Australia for half a year and win $50,000 in the process. I believe it is advertised as being a Park Ranger, of sorts. Anyway, he decided he would not only apply, but win this job! The entry requirements were a 30 second video as to why they should pick him over anyone else. To cut a long story short, the very talented Ste was short listed down to the lucky 25 contenders!!
In a minimal amount of time they have to complete all sorts of activities like creating a public stunt and getting lots of people to endorse him as well as celebrities and a bunch of other stuff which very few mere mortals could achieve so spectacularly in such a short space of time....but Ste IS!
He organised a flash mob in Piccadilly in Manchester which you can view here: http://tinyurl.com/ch2wfyg and delight in the Drum and Bass Animal Fancy Dress Litter Picking Flash Mob "I'd pick Ste" campaign video. You can also SHARE this video with as many people as possible of course!
It's wonderfully inspiring to see how much activity and energy one person can create out of nothing in a such a short amount of time. The public support has been absolutely beautiful. Leisa (my business partner) is the one in the psychedelic leopard print rainbow tights as the shaman bringing all the animals back to life near the end. I too would have been there in full shamanic regalia dancing away but was attending a close friend's wedding where I was reading one of my poems about love.
If you want to help Ste get his dream job tweet him an endorsement "I'd pick Ste!"@ste_whittaker. Better yet, if you know of a celebrity of any kind who would like to join his campaign, he would be ever so grateful for some famous endorsements as well, I think that is one of his tasks. I think the deadline is literally in a few hours, midnight as Australia is just coming to life down under.
All I know is that I really WOULD pick Ste because he is a loving, down to earth person, extremely intuitive, totally connected to our beautiful Mother Earth and so much fun to be around. Before he came traveling with Lucid Insight he was intent on staying out of the public eye, preferring to be anonymous. Leisa and I didn't understand why because his message is definitely one for sharing. After a certain amount of clearing work in the jungle on ayahuasca and with Leisa's wonderful healing skills we managed to turn him around. Now he may become a renown public figure with an awesome job and a whole new life!
