Ben Lowrey
Welcome
My name is Ben. I’m a creative entrepreneur, event organiser, business owner, & property developer living in South Wales, UK.
I am a partner in the development of 11 houses.
Work commenced March 2022. Carmarthen, South Wales
Real Awake Events
Fun events for Spiritual people
-Pentre Plaza
My First Property Renovation. Completed Spring 2021. This was purchased with a Lease Option agreement. I renovated the property prior to buying it, with a pre-agreed purchase price, known as an “option” contract.
Plasmarl Swansea
My second Property Renovation. Completed Spring 2023. This is a Leased property.
Pentre Palace. 5 bed terraced house
My third Property Renovation. Began September 2023. This was financed partly by the seller, and partly by a mortgage. The seller allowed me to pay the mortgage deposit later, and the mortageg company funded the rest. This is known as “deffered consideration”. This was effectively a “no money down” purchase.
Hen Party Entertainment Ltd.
Established 2013, this has been one of my longest standing businesses. It started as a side hustle, and now does 250+ bookings per year, employing male models all over the country.
Handstands
In 2013, I decided I wanted to learn how to Handstand.
From 2015 to 2019 I taught workshops all over the UK, produced extensive video tutorials, and ran movement bootcamps.
Alopecia & Bodybuilding
In 2013, my hair spontaneously fell out, total Alopecia.
This triggered me to become interested in fitness, because I was self conscious of how I looked.
In 2015 I competed in a Natural Bodybuilding Competition. (Natural = no steroids)
Guitar & vGuitarLessons.com
From age 9 to 22, I played electric guitar.
In my teenage years I taught guitar, and played in bands.
In 2006 I transitioned to uploading video guitar lessons to the internet. This was in the early days of YouTube (before smart phones and apps).
This resulted in vGuitarLessons.com which was very succesful for several years. In it’s best year it turned over £180,000 in sales.
Circoplex Lightshow
I’ve always been fascinated with ambient lighting.
In 2018 I spent 3 months building an adressable LED lightshow to use at my Yoga events.
Plant Medicine
In 2008 I first did Ayahuasca at a Shamanic Ceremony in Glasonbury.
I didn’t do anything similar for another 13 years.
In 2021 I reconnected, this time with Magic Mushrooms.
I noticed massive mental health benefits.
Current Focus: The Real Awake Resort
My Current Focus is to find suitable land in South Wales to open a rural campsite / retreat.
