I am on a journey, as you are.
I have chosen to make my life about knowing that journey more intimately, and to be a catalyst for others looking to understand their lives and themselves. I believe that life is about meaning making, that life does not come with meaning included, that's our job.
Two tracks have led to this point.
I began the first of these in the Lakes of Cumbria in the UK over 10 years ago, exploring the hills and the valleys learning how to guide individuals and groups in remote areas.
The country's most at-risk and vulnerable young people and adults has been a consistent draw to my life's longing, for reasons that are still as yet unclear. What I know I love, is sharing the gifts I have and receiving the gifts that flow from this work. It really is a privilege.
The second track is myth and the mythopoetic world of the West Country School of Myth. On my first visit, something cracked open. A remembering of some kind, of a way to engage with the world and our selves through story, poetry, dance, song, ceremony and ritual. For the first time, I felt invited to participate in an animate world, and foster meaning. Using this sense as a kind of compass, I found we can orient ourselves many layers deep.
Currently, I collaboratively create and deliver wilderness based programs for young adults in Cornwall, with aims to create an improved sense of self and purpose of life. We do this through ancestral skills, storytelling and meaning making.
I believe that as we move forwards, the path behind us begins to make sense. Two tracks meet and head off in new and unknown directions. I'd love for you to be a part of it.
