England, close to my home, 2022

I am fascinated with the invisible.

After studing a Psychology BSc in 1996, I travelled the world for two decades. So many experiences! I sold chickens on the street in Argentina, floated down the Amazon in a self-made raft, rode on a camel safari in India, worked in an orphanage in Nepal, studied a Masters in Jungian Psychology and Psychoanalysis in Spain (2009), sat many Vipassana 10-day silent meditations, studied The Course in Miracles, studied in an art school in Greece, lived in an intentional community in Catalonia, danced Contact Improvisation in Colorado, US and taught Montisorri in Latvia along with being a voice over artist and stand up comedian.

Ten days in Siberut 1996, Indonesia living with people who, due to treacherous seas, were only recently discovered living pre-iron age..

Travelling on the outside is also a journey on the inside. As I have gotten older, I have become less interested in travelling the globe and more interested in the inner world. I have returned to my roots. In England, in my home town, I work as a psychotherapist, I thrive in holding Forest Sessions for Wellness which I now facilitate in woods I grew up in and am deeply nourished by the deep dives of Active Imagination session which I hold on line to an international group. I am a guest professor at Stradina University (Latvia) and facilitate Recreational Psychology and Psychological Aspects of the Mind-Body connection on-line. I held intense retreats in Latvia and am hoping to start them up again in England. I play in a big band, cycle, swim, play tennis and am working on a new book…

If I were to say what my goal is in life, it would be the Platonic messages above the door at the Temple of Delphi, ‘Know Thyself’. I have been fascinated with the exploration of what is it to relate to formless.
