Thames comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from September 2013 to January 2018.
Seahorses in the Thames, Poseidon, Garland's Day
A news story about seahorses found in the River Thames is linked to Elizabeth Frazier's solo performance at the Royal Festival Hall. The segment connects these aquatic symbols to Poseidon and the death of Jeff Buckley on "Garland's Day," a day associated with offerings to the sea god. This reinforces the water-based ritual themes prevalent throughout the saga.
Mental Strategies for Artistic and Athletic Performance
Techniques for rapid skill acquisition are discussed, including a "Class of the Master" where non-artists learn to paint through trance and specific strategies. Bandler shares a story of an artist on the Thames who visualized a giant hand tracing a tree to achieve perfect accuracy. By teaching students to "hallucinate" these tracing lines and color-matching techniques, they can significantly improve their artistic output in minutes.
