About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live wholeheartedly, with Presence, Awareness and Passion, and help others find their own true calling.

ABOUT ME

Hmmmmmmm....... I like to travel, for the space to be and to ponder, and write music. I spent years in South East Asia, Ireland, Europe and North America.

The more I grow, the more I see the simple beauty of life, and recognise the wonder that is simply being here. I've come to realise, and experience directly, that life is already complete in itself. A little absurd, a little miraculous.

In 2014 I returned to school, learning to be a therapist; I studied Transpersonal Art Therapy and Counselling in Australia...... AMAZING!!!

Some songs have also come out of all this travelling, meditating and pondering. You can hear a few on

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: The Power of Now, A New Earth (life changing! Both by Eckhart Tolle). Also The Tree of Man, by Patrick White (Australian author), Herman Hesse books (Narziss and Goldmund, Siddhartha, so far....), anything by David Malouf.

Music: Ray Lamontagne is a long running favourite. Tom Waits and Radiohead for the emotions they evoke. Martin Hayes (an Irish fiddler) is up there on my list also. Josh Ritter (yes!!!), Mick Flannery, Fabrizio De Andre', Joe Purdy, AUGIE MARCH, and so on.....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced meditative absorption, which was the singlemost blissful experience of my life.

Studying Transpersonal Art Therapy

Faced my deepest fears

Teach, Learn, Share

Fingerstyle guitar and Italian/English songs (to teach others and pick up some more!)
My psychology degree might come in handy at some point in this life........
Meditation and Buddhist practice......I did a bit of acting once, would probably eagerly get back on a stage one more time. interseted in doing some street performances, musical, poetry, what else? if anyone wants to join........

I adore cooking healthy foods (Indian and Italian) for my hosts, making fermented foods, playing music in cozy settings.
