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.

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.
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.
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.

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 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 –
“…let mine be the lamp that lights the way.”
