The Brave Table Makes its UAE Debut
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, April 15, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- The Brave Table Podcast celebrated a major milestone on Friday 11 April 2025, with a sold-out, soul-stirring live event marking its 300th episode and three-year anniversary. Hosted by Dr. Neeta Bhushan, the evening welcomed over 100 guests to the beautiful Sohum Wellness Centre for an intimate night of storytelling, connection and personal transformation.
Guests from wellness, health and holistic circles gathered to rewrite the stories that no longer serve them, reflect on worthiness and relationships, and soak in brave conversations that touched the heart. The event marked the official UAE launch of The Brave Table Live - Neeta's new in-person experience designed to bring meaningful dialogue and deep community to life.
It was a true family affair, with Neeta's loved ones present in full support - including her husband Ajit Nawalkha, co-founder of Mindvalley, their son and daughter, and extended family. In a touching and playful moment, Neeta's son rallied the crowd to announce her arrival in 20 minutes, and Ajit later took the stage to offer a warm and heartfelt introduction, before gathering the audience for a joyous group photo.
'To share this moment surrounded by family, friends and a community of open-hearted souls was truly beyond anything I imagined,' said Dr. Neeta Bhushan. 'This wasn't just about celebrating 300 episodes - it was about creating space for real, brave conversations, and honoring the journey it takes to show up fully.'
Guests came with high energy to witness the one and only Marisa Peer, who delivered a powerful live interview with Neeta, offering insight on how to show up in life free from limiting beliefs. The session ended with a rapid-fire round that had the audience both laughing and reflecting deeply.
'The energy in the room was electric,' said Marisa Peer. 'To witness the vulnerability, openness, and shared wisdom in that space was something truly special. It was an honor to be part of The Brave Table Live.'
As a surprise guest, Gary Lineham, founder of Human Garage and a close friend of Neeta, was invited up from the audience to share his advocacy for nervous system healing and body-based wellness. Gary led the room through powerful somatic exercises to release tension and reconnect with the body, leaving everyone feeling both grounded and energised.
The evening also showcased thoughtful contributions from sponsors. Dr. Jenna of Zoime Longevity Clinic, who shared how true wellness is a fusion of mind, body, soul, and science - from advanced lab testing to detox protocols and holistic care. The Health Nag highlighted a curated range of supplements designed to support gut health, energy and daily resilience.
Sohum Wellness delivered activations throughout the night in their breathtaking new outdoor sanctuary - making its beautiful debut in the UAE. Guests experienced healing through the hands of sound healer Ian Manel, who led a deeply immersive sound bath, along with massages and intuitive tarot card readings. The all-vegan Sohum food and soul beverages nourished every guest from the inside out.
Every attendee received a signed copy of Neeta's bestselling book, That Sucked. Now What?, along with a wellness-packed goodie bag sponsored by Scoop Wholefoods.
Neeta went deep with her audience, asking brave questions and sparking vulnerable shares. The space became a mirror for healing, learning, and heartfelt connection.
'We learnt, we reflected, we connected - soul to soul,' Neeta shared on the night. 'From the incredible guests who came, to the friends who flew in from abroad, to the Sohum set-up of dreams, it was truly unforgettable.
And to my husband - for introducing me with such love and for holding the masculine container that allows me to surrender into my feminine - I'm so grateful. So many women are stuck in a trauma response of doing it all; I'm lucky to have a safe space to lean into. And of course, to my kids hyping me up from the sidelines - I couldn't do this without you.'
Thank you to everyone who came with open hearts and helped make another nourishing celebration with The Brave Table Live so meaningful.'
The Brave Table Live was more than an event - it was a celebration of community, authenticity and the power of storytelling to heal and connect.

Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins on ‘ridiculous' feud rumours
The White Lotus co-stars Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins have both denied rumours that either of them are in a feud as 'ridiculous'. There has been speculation that the two co-stars had drifted apart after being on the HBO show, which follows the lives of guests and staff at a luxury resort as dark secrets are revealed and tensions rise over the course of the holiday. The third series sees the positive Chelsea, played by British actress Wood, 31, try to keep her mysterious older boyfriend, Rick, played by 53-year-old US actor Goggins, calm in Thailand. Following the 2025 series, Goggins appeared to step away from his fellow co-stars, and unfollow Greater Manchester-born Wood on Instagram. They both addressed the swirling rumours during a joint interview for US publication Variety, which was published on Wednesday. Goggins said: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman (Aimee) madly, and she is so important to me.' He added that 'she's special', and explained he had not addressed the reports before as he did not want to talk about Wood when she was not there. 'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram,' Wood said. Goggins said that when he finished The White Lotus he 'needed to just back away from everyone', as it is his 'process' when filming a project ends. 'It's all so ridiculous,' he said. 'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f****** ever.' Wood previously criticised a Saturday Night Live sketch, with an cast member impersonating her with exaggerated prosthetic teeth, calling it 'mean and unfunny' on Instagram. She told Variety that it 'felt misogynistic. It felt like the punchline was a woman's appearance, which is just not funny. It's not cool'. Goggins shared the same sketch online and praised Jon Hamm for playing a version of his character, before deleting the Instagram post, ahead of hosting SNL> He said he was 'gonna say it (something) to your face', and added: 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.' SNL apologised for the April sketch, according to Wood, and the comedian and cast member who impersonated her, Sarah Sherman, sent her flowers to apologise. Wood is also known for Netflix teen show Sex Education, BBC comedy Daddy Issues and the 2022 drama film Living with Bill Nighy. Goggins has been in Western series Justified, post-apocalyptic series Fallout, and drama Sons Of Anarchy. He has had two Emmy nods, while Wood has won a TV Bafta for Sex Education and been given a Rising Star Bafta nomination.

‘Diplomacy ends today': First Nations warn of protests over Ontario mining law
Protesters and community members chant and wave signs, as they listen to speakers during a demonstration opposing Bill 5, outside the Ontario legislature at Queen's Park in Toronto, Monday, June 2, 2025. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Cole Burston Ontario Premier Doug Ford's government has given itself the power to suspend provincial and municipal laws for chosen projects in areas it deems to have economic importance, citing the need to speed up development of mines, but First Nations warn confrontation is brewing. Known as Bill 5, the legislation sparked a firestorm of anger among First Nations communities, who say it tramples their rights and ignores their concerns. It may have passed in the legislature Wednesday, but Indigenous leaders say the fight is just beginning. 'Our diplomacy ends today,' said NDP deputy leader Sol Mamakwa, who represents the northern Ontario riding of Kiiwetinoong that is home to many First Nations and the mineral-rich Ring of Fire region. 'You cannot trample on the rights of the people that live on these homelands and get away with it.' Ford has said the bill is needed to speed up large projects, particularly mines, in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. Jeers from dozens of First Nations members echoed in the legislature as the bill was passed into law. Ford was not there for the final vote. Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler called the premier a 'coward.' 'This fight is not over, but we will meet you on the ground,' Fiddler said. 'He did not even have the guts to show up for the vote.' Ford was on a call with a Republican congressman during the vote, his office said. Lake Huron Regional Chief Scott McLeod said that shows where the premier's priorities lie. 'His priorities are not with the Indigenous people in this province,' he said. 'They're with business people, and he wants the resources that are in our territories. He's selling our minerals and our resources to Americans, to the world, without our permission and that is what we're not going to stand for.' The government had tried to amend the bill to explicitly include duty to consult provisions, but delay tactics at the committee stage by the Liberals meant that the Progressive Conservatives passed the legislation without that. Ford said earlier in the day that they would consult with First Nations over the summer, but that may now be in question. From now on, Fiddler said, Nishnawbe Aski Nation will not take him or his government seriously, nor will they engage with Indigenous Affairs Minister Greg Rickford. Fiddler called for his resignation. 'He is supposed to be representing Indigenous affairs for our nation, but he failed at every turn, and we will not work with him,' Fiddler said. 'We will not engage with him at all moving forward.' The legislation will create so-called 'special economic zones,' where the province could suspend laws in order to speed up projects such as mines, and the government has said the Ring of Fire would be the first such zone. Chris Moonias, the former chief of Neskantaga First Nation, suggested action will begin by preventing mining companies and others' access to their lands. 'We're going to shut down the Ring of Fire,' he said. 'Whatever that means, whatever we can do, we're going to shut it down. I promise you that.' Earlier in the day, Ford said blockades wouldn't be 'very wise.' 'You can't break the law,' Ford said. 'Simple as that. ... They need to move on or they'll be dealt with appropriately.' When asked to clarify his comments, Ford said he doesn't direct the police and any enforcement would be up to the Ontario Provincial Police or local police services. The premier wouldn't say if he would use the notwithstanding clause to save Bill 5 if it ends up being challenged and found unconstitutional in court. But he said that he would 'cross that bridge' when he comes to it. Civil liberty groups are livid at the prospect of effectively lawless zones, and unions have warned that labour laws would be under threat. The measure is part of an omnibus bill that makes a slew of other changes, including stripping protections for endangered and threatened species. Environmental groups and the Toronto Zoo have warned this will lead to extinctions. Farmers, who largely support the Progressive Conservative government, have also spoken out against the bill. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture said the broad powers 'could override vital protections for farmland and agricultural systems.'
