About the speaker

What qualifies me to ask for your time to discuss social and cultural matters?

In a nut-shell, I specialize in becoming involved in community ventures and support systems.

I, Brian Snellgrove am a writer, diarist, and social innovator who lived in London for most of my life but escaped to Somerset in 2012. Those of you who are Gemini like myself will know that we cannot abide boredom so fasten your seat belts

Historically I started an organisation called London village in the 1970s which grew from humble beginnings to a membership of nearly 5,000. We focused on helping newcomers to London to find their feet socially.

I started a sister organization called Europeople which enabled members to practice their languages

I developed a new method for analyzing the human energy field from the psychological point of view. It is called Kirlian Photography after the Russian inventor Semyon Kirlian.

Linked with this I have practiced as a life coach and counselor and have worked in 23 countries world-wide.

I have a habit of talking to strangers in the street and conversing with them as if I had known them all my life

I became a diarist based on the Diary of Londoner Samuel Pepys in the 17th century; it now has over 1.5 million words

This venture is designed around the theme of the art of conversation. Has it declined in the face of virtual meetings such as ZOOM or as in social media?

We might look for any gaps in provision for those who live in or near Bath, social or culturally.  Any idea could be adapted at a later date for the encouragement of minority groups and to welcome those who are new to the town.

Below are some of the ventures that I have started.
