Why choose to study, work with, or come to see me?
I think that this question really needs to be asked, so I like to bring the question up straight away. I personally do not work with people before checking out their credentials, skills, knowledge and experiences and I would not expect you to either.
Please read the information below to give you some idea of who I am, what I do, and what credentials, skills, knowledge and experiences I have required.
My family
I'm 54 years young and live in Sydney, Australia with my beautiful wife Arleen. We have a blended family of 6 children (29-17 years old). I also have 4 cute grand-daughters (7, 5 and 4 and one that is very recent) and 2 God-daughters (17 and 15). We also live with my Mother-In-Law, Eileen - lovingly called 'Gran' by all who visit our home and share her wonderful cooking.
My work and vocation
I call myself a Modern Day Alchemist. I use this term, as there is often much confusion, controversy or mixed emotion around the words 'Shaman', 'Guru' or 'Master' and they are not really names that I choose to use as a full title, although after 25 years of working in the personal and spiritual development fields, I do give myself some credit and connection to these terms. I like the term Modern Day Alchemist the most as it really does describe best what I do in my work - I help and support people to transform and change their lives into a much more positive and focused place - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
Under this title, I also offer my services as a Teacher, Writer and Speaker and a Mentor, Facilitator and Psychophonetics Psychotherapist and Counsellor (with an Advanced Diploma). I have an Australian accredited Certificate 4 in Work Place Assessment and Training and have applied many hundreds of hours of study and training in personal, professional and spiritual development. These include: Public Speaking, Personal Meditation and Group Meditation Training, Full Body Massage, Conscious and Effective Communication, Eco-Psychology, Community Leadership Training and The Art of Playing the Didgeridoo.
I am also the Founder and Director of a not-for-profit, charitable organisation called The Blue Wren Foundation. We deliver empowering Relationship Education programs to men, as well as offering coaching and counselling to individuals (men and women) and couples. You can see more on The Blue Wren Foundation website.
My spiritual path
For the past 25 years, I have had a deep interest in the work of Rudolf Steiner and what he termed - 'Anthroposophy'; which simply means - The Study of Man (People). It is with this, and with many other experiences, that I base my work to help and support people on their own journey. On this chosen path I am committed to expanding myself physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually so that I can be a more conscious and present person.
A bit of my history - although there is much more to tell and share ...
As a young child I lived in a small village in the Cotswold's in England where playing and exploring in nature was what I loved to do. It was here that I gained my first 'spiritual' experiences and insights. During part of my teen years I expressed myself as a wild Punk Rocker and had a wild ride with drugs and alcohol for a few years. I then took a big step and travelled overseas from the UK into Europe at the age of 19 and began to change and expand my outlook on life as I ventured into other more positive, interesting and fulfilling journeys of self-discovery and empowerment. I arrived in Tasmania, Australia at the age of 24 from almost four years of living in West Berlin - and what a contrast that was!
I have lived and worked in Europe, Africa and Australia and worked with thousands of people from all walks of life; including: people living on the streets, in drug rehabilitation centres, in rural villages and farms, in big and small businesses and corporations, with children and staff in schools and at a village community orphanage called Botshabelo.
My passions
One of my passions is to write. I write articles for newspapers and magazines, have published two books and have been a co-author in two more and have several more in the pipe-line. I am currently writing a novel! You can see my books in the 'Shop'.
Travel is also one of my big passions. I have lived and travelled in Europe, Australia and like to visit South Africa, Namibia and Botswana every couple of years. I do this by taking a small group of people with me on a 21 day Spirit of Africa Journey.
I also love to play the didgeridoo, bush walk, body surf in the ocean waves, paint, sculpt and potter about in my shed and sleep in on the weekends when I get a chance to do so! All in all, I love to live life to the full and have a great time ...
You can read some more about me and my work and passion in my Where Am 'I' Right Now? book.
“I do not claim to be wiser than you. I do claim to know that what I teach is my truth
If you want to reach your truth, I am willing to walk beside you whilst you explore.”
