What Would I Want?
Looking with genuine care at the source and nature of conflict in Palestine.
If we are not open to this necessary form of generosity and courage, in a word Leadership, we cannot claim to care more about a path to peace, than we do about retribution and vindication.
Whatever Comes
A powerfully disarming reflection on the wisdom of grace and equanimity, and the possibility of prayer, for those of us not inclined toward Religion—holding the door open to the possibility that our lives are happening for us, not to us.
Stance Is Everything
There is no greater treasure than to be loved truly for who you truly are. And to be thus loved for who you truly are, one of course has to have the courage to be vulnerable enough to let people see who you really are.
Stepping Through
The poems and encouragements in Stepping Through, a village of voices, meet the reader in the spirit of guidance and companionship along the journey of necessary threshing, about Love and Life and how we navigate our sense of belonging and purpose as our certainty and self-belief waxes and wanes through
Most Intimate
we imagine all along,
that our lives and our circumstances
conspire to undo us,
when in fact,
they conspire to help us in every way, to become.
“The secret of tension is transformation.”
The River
The Riveralways seems to follow The Way; when the land shifts, as it wills,whether by the slow and steady heaving,or whether by a sudden violence,while the countless ages trundle by,as the rains and seasonswax and wane by the long count,so the river will shift in its course.it keeps on –
Rocco Jarman
POET | PHILOSOPHER | MYSTIC
Above all, I want to be remembered and loved for sincerely wanting to be the better man, and the full honest convicted embrace of everything that implies.
My why, is I believe in the infinite potential of humans. I know what I came from, the sense of brokenness, disconnection, confusion, smallness and shame, and I know exactly how it felt like to outgrow that sense, and how it felt to connect with something that felt both deep inside myself and far beyond myself, and that very private sense of gratitude and belonging I encountered in that discovery.
There is a formula for changing our stance from brokenness to Wholeness, from disconnection to Connection, from Confusion to Understanding, from smallness to Greatness and from Shame to Leadership. This is what I have dedicated my life to.
I have been blessed with a gift of great understanding and insight on psychology, human behaviour and the nature of the dysfunction which is marring everything we value as a society, why our challenges were inevitable, necessary and also completely solvable in a Way that lies where Science and Mysticism meet. I am here to help everyone demystify both Science and Mysticism so we can ‘burn the scrolls’ and connect with essence; because where we’re going, we need only the essence, not the baggage.
I also have a 25-year career in corporate transformation and leadership, which means I have experience in organisational development, strategy, delivery, project management and technology; my intention is to share and contribute as much of that, to The Walled Garden and its community as I am able, from a place of love.
The world is in a bit of a mess right now, we are waiting for the light to return and it will not return; We need to become the light, and I believe The Walled Garden is a force for good that the world desperately needs right now.

Join Rocco and guests in periodic episodes dedicated to the search for meaning through the lens of courageous practical philosophy.
Hermetica Reiterated
Charting The Way through the restoration and cultivation of the flame of The Perennial Philosophy, in the hearths our own understanding, for the express purpose of reconciling science and spirituality under the rubric of Reason and Philosophy.
Imagine unlocking the foundational truths of Hermetics, known as the Perennial Philosophy, and harnessing its rich, practical insights for unequalled self-mastery. Hermetics is not merely an esoteric relic but a living science of Reason, revealing the universal laws at the heart of our existence.
The study and exploration of Hermetics offers a blueprint for enhancing every facet of life, from personal philosophy to scientific inquiry, entrepreneurial ventures to conflict resolution and painting a realistic vision of the Actualisation pathway of humanity.
Stripped of its arcane veil and decoded for clarity, Hermetics stands as a transformative force, ready to elevate our collective endeavors into their most potent form.
