As well as my work in the spiritual field, I have also been an exhibiting artist for over two decades, firstly in the U.K, then internationally

I now live in Sydney, Australia with my partner, scientist Dr Jesse Shore. Together we have created Sweet & Shore, an art/science collaboration and a tiny organic 'farm' in our

inner city garden.

Things have not always been this way, however. Like so many of us, I had a very troubled and difficult childhood and struggled to understand myself and the world around me.

My quest for answers led to a twenty-five year spiritual search, studying with different teachers and living for many years in ashrams and spiritual communities around the world.

I finally ended up broke, broken and disillusioned and no closer to my goal. At this point I realised my dependence on outside authorities and my quest for a future enlightenment had become a trap. I left spiritual life as I had known it to find my own way.

In the crisis that followed, I finally and miraculously discovered the unchanging ground of my own being and the revelation of the unitive nature of all-that-is. This revolutionised my whole perspective on life, the human condition and the inherent potential for our deep transformation and inner freedom.

Over time, however, I have come to see that personal transformation is only the beginning of what is possible. There is a quickening and deepening into a greater ‘We’ when we choose to meet one another beyond the persona. This exploration has become the cornerstone of my current work.
