Invitoscope

Hervé Bellut, the creator of this self development board game, has had a varied and interesting career path.

His formal studies were in astrophysics, and as an aerospace engineer he went on to become interested in occupational stress in the workplace. This interest and development into Well Being  seemed a natural path to him because from a young age he had begun to learn yoga and in 1990 he became a yoga teacher and therapist.

Hervé uses meditation and yoga in his therapy sessions, training and workshops, in addition he has written books on the subject and is a frequent conference speaker.

From this experience, Hervé developed the “game” of INVITOSCOPE in order to help professionals in the workplace better understand their motivation, their path to creativity, their decision making process to reach fufillment and improve team building among colleagues.

French speakers would be interested to read “Les 7 invitations de l’Univers” which Hervé wrote in 2015 and is the foundation for his game INVITOSCOPE.

Learn English by becoming a Royal Wedding Expert; The Everything You Should Know Quiz.

Learn English by becoming a Royal Wedding Expert; The Everything You Should Know Quiz. On Monday 27 November 2017 The Prince of Wales announced the engagement of his son Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle and since then wedding fever has gripped the UK, the USA and many other countries in the world. Now with only days to go before the big event the buzz is getting bigger day by day.

The wedding will take place in Windsor, a small town west of London and in the past week the place has been totally transformed with international television crews setting up their stands and tourists from all over the world checking into local hotels to be in position to soak up the atmosphere when Harry and Megan “tie the knot”.

However, against the backcloth of Royal tradition this wedding is breaking all the rules; Megan is an American actress, a divorcée  and a child of a mixed race marriage. This has been seen as a breath of fresh air to the traditional, stuffy customs and etiquette of the older Royals. However, this air of modernity also comes with fodder for the paparazzi as Megan’s half siblings have been selling their story to the press and Megan’s father feeling the terrible stress of press scrutiny, so much so that he is in ill health and can not attend the wedding. 

On the day millions of television spectators all over the world will be waiting to see Megan’s dress and who will walk her down the aisle.

We just hope that the British weather will be kind to them.
