Awakening experiences and how to keep them
Many years ago I was working as a stage manager on a small show at Edinburgh festival. I had just left Central drama school and this was my first job. I had another job lined up after this, a UK tour of ‘The Lion, the Witch and the wardrobe’. I felt like I was in [...]
Connecting with your past
This past weekend I went to a school reunion. Most of us hadn’t seen each other since school. It’s an interesting time as we are all on the cusp of 40. I always thought midlife crises was made up of people getting depressed about getting old and trying to get into relationships with people much [...]
Can Spirituality break addiction?
Addiction is a huge problem that holds humanity back, not only the individual from finance freedom or to lead a healthy life, we are also held back from our spiritual evolution. As people it is possible for us to become addicted to anything that makes us feel better. This could be from a basic sugar [...]
Taking care of yourself
My friends often tell me that if you’re taking care of other people you have to take care of yourself first, but when people need you it’s often tempting to pay lip service to what that means. It’s so easy to see how the external world needs you, and allow that to override what you [...]

A question of Spirituality
Last night spiritually curious London met for the first time. The theme for the meeting was the spiritual self. We explored though games how spirituality manifests in who we are as people. Spirituality is so very personal. One thing that stood out for me in the evening is how hard it is to define what [...]
These train conversations
Sitting on a train from the North of England heading south watching the country side go by. This is my first trip back to London since coming back to England to live. The green of the fields is when you’re not used to seeing them is stunning. However the most beautiful thing that I notice [...]
Recalling the dream
Tomorrow I catch a flight back to England after nearly two years in America. As long as I can remember I expected to live in the US. I don’t know if you can call it a calling, or if it was something that was part of my ‘to do’ list I set out before I [...]
Home is an intuitive knowing.
San Francisco is an amazing place to be creative and become full with imagings. I think that’s because the energy is created by the very earth moving with the shifting plates. It makes a very progressive vibe. Couple that with where I am now which is New York, it makes an interesting dynamic. New York [...]
