Rocco Jarman

Who am I? 

Who are we without the fictions and dramas of our stories? Who are any of us without the long line of causes and lives that came before us, that allowed us to be here now, alive in the middle of it all, in the unfolding moment. Additionally we are each of us who we repeatedly choose to be. We are our intentionalities, our presence and our history, and one day we will be our legacies. 

I am that, and then I am something more. I am bridge of sorts, between yesterday and tomorrow. I am a guide along the journey of discovering who we truly are, where we came from, what we carry with us and how we seek passage to Tomorrow, by navigating our way through the obstacles of our modern lives, and how we make a path forward by walking it, along our journeys of craft & calling, right at the frontier of the unfamiliar, where tomorrow is always arriving.

I am poet, and an active philosopher, a researcher, a mystic, I am a leader, a follower, a pilgrim, a hierophant, a magician and a fool. I am a teacher of symbolism, mythos, hermetics, the psychology of archetypes. I am a Dreamer, and when you’re a Dreamer, your temple is the threshold, always at the  frontier of the strange, and your craft and calling are the north star that beckon us along that road.

I am an inspired advocate of the prospects and potential of the future human, the power of personal and collective myth as our means to realise  that potential.

Won’t you join me?

Testimonials

DUNCAN B.Student
"What an invitation! An invitation to slow down, an invitation to reflect on what's meaningful (and why), an invitation to be creative, an invitation to be intentional. And it is that invitation for intention that contains a subtle challenge too "how will I live my life with intention?"
BRYAN S.Student
"I spent years thinking someone else's thoughts, speaking to myself, and out aloud, in someone else's voice. I think I spent all this time walking the road of someone else's journey. What a trip it is to take this journey and be guided by someone like Rocco."

Being and Becoming

Soul Speaking is a weekly session I run in the Silver Branch, hosted by The Walled Garden Philosophical Society. Today in Soul Speaking we spoke about the inescapable phenomenon of having a dual perspective on Life and as a life. Here are some thoughts about how we stand in the heart of that duality and […]

When the Sun Stands Still

Following on from our exploration of an idea from two weeks ago, the notion of the necessary tension opposites visits us again by way of the Solstice. In the northern hemisphere half of us are preparing to step into the light half of the year while the rest of us are realising only now we never said a proper farewell to our summer as we get ready to reluctantly admit that autumn was its own gift and now our own dark half of the year is about to begin....
