About the Imp

The Imp popped (impishly!) into the mind of the author in August 1993 and took up permanent residency. This happened during a course called, "Exploring Extraordinary Human Capacities", Jean Houston’s "Mystery School" at Hollyhock. When Jean described her program as "intellectually vigorous, psychologically challenging, spiritually demanding and exhilarating", Bev knew she had to be there!

But who or what is "The Imp" really?

It’s an Inner
          Magnificent
       P
art of YOU!

Your source of Inspiration, Motivation and Passion;

The Intelligence, Meaning and Purpose that guide your life;

Your Intuitive, Magical, Playful inner child...

...and so much more

 as YOU are so much more!

Bev: "In 1994 I started keeping a notebook of all my Imp ideas.

"In January 2000, (in the middle of the night, when my most creative ideas come), the Imp popped into my mind to tell me I needed to write a book (or did the book write me?) and the form was to be a journal.

"Now this was just before a trip to Australia, so the actual writing started in April 2000 and was completed in March 2001. Then the adventure of researching and preparing for self-publishing began plus learning about the internet and websites.

"It has been hard work, sometimes going down blind alleys and experiencing a few "oops!," but always with a steady focus. In the Spring of 2002 the website and the t-shirts were a reality. The book experienced more delays.

"There is much, much more the Imp is dreaming up! It will happily take Bev the rest of her life to turn ideas into realities. Stay tuned!

"A number of artists had tried to ‘capture’ the Imp on paper. Finally in the summer of 2001, Povis Law did so delightfully!"   Top
