We’re likely the best informed, and possibly most manipulated, version of humanity there has been. We have vast amounts of knowledge at our finger tips, quite literally. We have access, courtesy of our ever-expanding, 24/7 media, to the scary, surprising, inspiring, wonderful and, on occasion, plain weird, imagination-defying happenings across our planet. That window on...

Another day, another week, more grisly headlines…this time the fall of a dictator, the grim legacy of inhumanity left behind. An uncertain future for a nation. With the full on, full frontal and ever-present nature of the media it is hard to avoid what is happening in our world. And the worse it is the...
Purpose is often, poetically, described as our North Star. It is the place where we feel most ‘in flow’, where our passion and action intersect, where we often achieve more than we felt capable of. In the bustle and demands of daily life discovering our purpose can, though, be a tricky proposition. For some it...
Throughout history we have wonderful examples of leaders doing the right thing – Lincoln’s abolition of slavery, Gandhi’s peaceful standing of ground, Martin Luther King Jr’s push for civil rights, Rosa Parks too, and Mandela’s bringing together a fractured nation. You will no doubt have your own inspiring examples. More recently in the business world...
Have you ever thought about what it means to be fully aware and ‘awake’ in every moment? To be so connected to how you are showing up, what you are sensing from others and what else is moving in the surrounding energy field’. This is of course a big ask and we might say only...

And yet contrast has become something far more challenging. We can see this in conventional media with often vastly different and usually negative takes on the same story, and in the...
We can spend our lives living with what we know…the concrete stuff we can see in front and around us, events we are a part of, all overlaid with the filter of our experience. And yet we know there’s a bigger world out there. One in which our experience and interpretation of an event will...
It’s a full-on world that we inhabit right now. In fact, to be more precise, that we have created. Locating and connecting to one’s inner balance is extremely tough as we are buffeted by global and local challenges and crises. And yet that inner balance has never been more essential because it’s from there that...
We all know that love is a word, a sentiment, a feeling that we most closely associate with loved ones, family, friends and so on. We don’t often use it in a wider context within say our work life or our wider connections. Some of this could be because we have confined our understanding of...
In these days of major shift, disturbance, emergence and reorganising at both a global level (possibly also Cosmic) and a local, close to home level we are called upon to examine our relationship with trust. What and whom do we trust as we are seeking to find our place of centredness and balance? Some people...
