Who Are You When Nobody Is Watching?
We spend an extraordinary amount of our lives being seen. At work, we have an identity…With family, another…Online, perhaps another still. We become known by our profession, our achievements, our appearance, our possessions, even by the opinions other people have formed about us. But I’ve been reflecting on a much more uncomfortable question: Who am…
When The Light Disappears
A few days ago, many of us around the planet witnessed something extraordinary…The Moon moved across the Sun. For a brief period, something we take completely for granted…the light above us…began to disappear. At the same time, something else remarkable was happening in our skies. Six planets…Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Saturn and Neptune were appearing…
What If It Doesn’t Go To Plan?
We make plans. For our careers…Our families…Our relationships…Our finances. Sometimes even for how we imagine our lives should look five or ten years from now. And then life happens. The opportunity doesn’t come…Someone disappoints us…A door we were certain would open remains firmly closed…Or something completely unexpected changes everything. I’ve been reflecting on how much…
Walking The Soul Path Together
I had the privilege of being part of the Soul Path Retreat, and I came away with a heart full of gratitude. Firstly, I want to thank the wonderful team at OmLife, led by Tina and assisted by Diyana, for their kindness, trust and invitation to be part of such a meaningful few days. Creating…
The Company We Keep
There are some places that leave an impression on you long after you return home. Krishna Island is one of those places. I was invited to join celebrations marking 40 years of this unique place in Northern Ireland, and the whole experience stayed with me. The setting itself is beautiful. Surrounded by nature, away from…
When Will It Be Enough?
I’ve been thinking about the word success. Ask ten people what it means and you’ll probably receive ten different answers. A successful career. A beautiful home. Financial security. Recognition. Influence. None of these things are wrong. In fact, many of them can be good. But I sometimes wonder: At what point do we finally say,…
The Art of Devotion
Some time ago, I had the privilege of leading kirtan concerts in two Unitarian churches — one in Liverpool and the other in Bolton. My heartfelt thanks to Reverend Phil and Reverend Tina for their warm invitations and generous hospitality. Standing in those beautiful sacred spaces, I found myself reflecting on something deeper than the…
The Deepest Human Need
I’ve been reflecting on something I think every one of us longs for. Not success. Not recognition. Not even happiness. Belonging. To know there is somewhere you are welcomed. Somewhere you don’t have to pretend. Somewhere you can arrive carrying the weight of life and somehow leave feeling a little lighter. Over the years, I’ve…
Yoga Beyond The Mat
Some time ago, Tina from OmLife and I had the joy of leading a Yoga Beyond the Mat retreat at the beautiful Waterperry House in Oxford. Surrounded by peaceful gardens and the stillness of nature, it felt like the perfect setting to slow down and reconnect. The retreat was intentionally kept small. In a world…
What Is Yoga… Really?
Whenever I reflect on yoga, I find myself coming back to a simple question: What does yoga actually mean? Today, yoga is often associated with movement, flexibility and physical wellbeing. And of course, all of those things can be valuable. But the original meaning of yoga goes much deeper. Yoga is about connection. Reconnection. Bringing…
