Soul-making Retreat, held at Life Itself Bergerac
I am a mystic, meditation guide, artist, and thought leader.
The awakening journey I went on transformed me at every level, and I am passionate about sharing a connection to experience that opens up more freedom, joy, wholeness, and access to truth.
A core aspect of my spiritual journey was integrating a modern scientific understanding of the world with an embodied mystical realisation that upends a lot of the dominant narratives about what reality is. My closest inspirations on this journey were Jung and Buddhism.
Modern understandings of the world often strip out the underlying spiritual and shamanic aspects of experience that are vital to connecting with the true nature of reality, whereas wisdom traditions often bypass important scientific or materialist truths about the Universe.
I envision that science and culture will come to understand the ways that the spiritual and the physical integrate during my lifetime. I am writing a book, ‘Being Buddha Nature’, to contribute my understanding of experience to this.
I currently live in Amsterdam with my partner.

Teaching
My work helps people realise and connect to their true nature and to open to the true nature of the Universe, for the benefit of all beings.
Everything I teach comes from direct insight and experience. Some of the things my teaching combines are Buddhist emptiness, shadow work, tantric embodiment, the archetypal realm, mysticism, and a radically new way of relating to the heart.
