Hello my fellow Players!
I’m Nicole Ansari and I have spent the last three decades working as an actor, director, writer & producer while consciously pursuing a spiritual path. At times these paths seemed contradictory, because there is a collective notion that we have to suffer in order to create Art. Finding solace and peace in spiritual practices seemed counter-intuitive to immersing myself into often painful human conditions. This juxtaposition tore me up inside and led to many moments of crisis, in which I felt that I had to choose between a sense of well being and my acting career. With time and practice, I found ways to merge these two paths and began attracting projects that nourish my soul and promote collective healing. Eventually I learned how to calm my nervous system when I had stage fright or anxiety and to gently release the characters I had invited into my being. As I transformed, my belief system began to benefit me rather than take me down. I look forward to sharing my journey with you!
Love,
Nicole
“My vision is to support actors, speakers, writers and artists to bring their whole selves to their work and promote collective healing through their Art. I have dedicated the time to dive deep into the practices of Meditation, Yoga and diverse healing modalities over the past three decades, parallel to my acting career. It is my sincere desire to help artists create profound and inspiring work as well as finding peace and happiness in their lives and to celebrate the process.”
