Empowering
Personal Power

I define personal power as “the ability to move in the direction you want to go”. I teach courses in ways of strengthening this ability so that it can be used to make positive changes in our lives and the world. My book 'Find Your Power' offers a self-help guide and was published by Nicholas Brealey Publishing in May 2006.

Informing
Holistic Perspectives

A revolution is happening in the way we look at the world, where old assumptions are being challenged and breakthroughs occurring as a result. My writing and courses introduce holistic concepts like Gaia Theory and The Butterfly Effect and show how these offer a whole new way of thinking about ourselves and our abilities.

Inspiring
Human Ecology

Human ecology looks at the relationships between ourselves and all that is around us. When we experience a feeling of connection with our world, this can nourish and inspire us, as well as deepen our sense of personal power. See writing, courses and The Great Turning for more on this.

Uplifting
Positive Psychology

Putting scientific method behind the promotion of happiness and the cultivation of strengths, positive psychology points us towards a more joyful way of living. See happiness lectures and courses for more on this.

Creativity
Beautiful Music
As a musician, I’m known for my hammered dulcimer and harmonica playing. I’ve performed at Glastonbury Festival, recorded with Roni Size, supported Jamie Cullum and played live with Steve Winwood. I’ve also written music for television.
