(aka Arjuna)
With a background in Teaching Drama and Creative / Therapeutic Movement; I have also worked as a practitioner of Shiatsu and Reflexology, Counsellor, Stress Management Consultant, Laughter Yoga leader, Administrator, Tour Guide and Postman.
My interests include decades of researching the human condition, specifically, what makes for optimal wellbeing, wholeness, meaning and purpose in life.
As part of my main focus of offering Transformational Education, I served for ten years in various roles as Administrator with ‘Deva Wings Publications,’ Secretary for ‘The Theosophical School of Healing,’ and as co-Director of ‘The Transformational College of Education.’
I also have extensive experience facilitating groups in Stress Management, Mindfulness and Relaxation, and presenting on Holistic Health and Wellbeing. My spare time is dedicated to researching Depth Psychology and how to support Men’s Personal Development.
From 1989 through 1999 I worked alongside psychologist and author Tarajyoti Govinda helping to establish and co-run ‘Deva Wings Publications’ and a private teaching College offering a Diploma in Transformational Counselling (1998-2001)
For more than 30 years I have researched Mental Health and Wellbeing including Honorary work in running the weekly Daylesford Laugh Yoga Club for more than 4 years.
In late 2017, I established the Daylesford Men’s support Group which ran weekly or fortnightly until state government enforced lockdowns throughout 2020 and 2021.
I have referenced books I recommend in Resources – see Recommended Reading.
In 2016 I wrote a memoir titled ‘Towards the Lion’, to share something of the many rare lessons I have been privileged to experience in this school of life.
In ‘Being Male : seeking peace’ I have explored the idea of what might fulfil a man in todays world. To question just what is important to you, as you steer your direction in life. In a collective sense, how we have suffered, and more importantly, what we can do about it.
