I, like you, am a curious human being. As a practitioner of Oriental Medicine, teacher of the Montessori Method, and father I have determinedly pursued my life long fascination with human nature. Long ago I realised that human behaviour, let alone human nature, could never be clearly understood without a practical understanding of Consciousness: not just human consciousness. My curiosity has led me to understand the non-duality of body and mind, matter and spirit in a practical, transformative way.
This has allowed me to develop potent methodologies of Somatic Intimacy that invite an authentic embodiment of the the full human potential.These include the Dynamic Yoga Training Method, Somatic Meditation, Resilience Tantra and Radical Ecology.
Many years teaching somatic intimacy has led me to a profound, though inevitably incomplete, understanding of the deep roots of human nature: Consciousness. This understanding, novel and unique as it may be, readily contextualises and fertilises the underlying assumptions of both science and religion.
I am deeply indebted to the generosity, compassion and genius of the following human beings, without whom I would have little of interest to share:
my mother, Barbara, who gave me a love without limit
my father, Humphrey, who gave me a relentless hunger for the truth
my teacher, Oliver Ramsbotham, who showed me which way to go
my secret teacher, TW Evans, who showed me method to accompany my madness
my uncle, Tim Hollis, who gave me the gift of Yoga
my good friend Robert Beaumont, who taught me not to believe
my soul sister, Elena Antinucci, who taught me to be willing to feel
my zen master, Soten Genpo Roshi, who pulled no punches
my tantric guide, Rosalba, who taught me the power of the subtle
my shaktiguru, Kali Ornelas, who gave me the master key
my partner pioneer, Olivia Crooks, who has always had my back
No less deeply, but less intimately,
am I indebted to every sentient being, every living tissue that ever existed.
Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to my longtime friend Jane, my more recent friend Pete, and my eldest daughter Rohese for the ruthless compassion you have always displayed in refusing to allow me to stagnate in the unacknowledged prejudice of my incompletely explored assumptions and their destructiveness.
