My Philosophy

If we are to begin to reverse the ecological destruction we are wreaking on this planet we need to switch our focus to serving life, not capital; and being ecocentric and soulcentric, rather than egocentric.

We are predominantly in a stage of collective adolescence, where too many of us ‘adults’ haven’t figured out who we are and why we are here.

We are all searching for something, consciously or otherwise, what I believe we are all searching for is ourselves, our own wild, soulful selves.

In a world of mass culture, where ‘fitting in’ is held in such high regard, to be ourselves is a radical and important act. The world has diverse and complex problems, it needs diverse solutions. 

This means following our own unique path and giving our unique gifts, our ‘medicine’, into the waters of life, or else they will be lost forever.

How can we BE more, not have more; how can we be of VALUE, rather than of success? 

At the heart of my work are the pathways of belonging, awakening, adulting, relating and meaning and the wayfinders (compass bearings) that help us navigate them.

I am in the process of writing a ‘starter kit’, which will dive into each of these more deeply, as well as some other teachings. Below is very much a high level overview.

The Five Pathways

The Path of Awakening - Cultivating present moment awareness.

The Path of Belonging - Deepening our relationship to the natural world.

The Path of Relating - Finding community and connecting with others through sovereignty.

The Path of Adulting - Taking responsibility for our experience & stepping into emotional maturity.

The Path of Meaning - Discovering and living our purpose.

The Wayfinders

Wayfinder: Slowness - awakening requires us to create space and relax.

Wayfinder: Solitude - in nature - allows us to hear our authentic voice.

Wayfinder: Playfulness - opens the way to trust & connection. 

Wayfinder: Feeling - the courage to feel deeply and enquire into the truth of our (and others) experience with love and compassion.

Wayfinder: Imagination - meaning is not found through logic, but through symbols, myth, imagery and devotion.
