I'm a transformational coach and taiji teacher, working with Daoism and the 3 Principles to help people live freely and without stress. I'm particularly interested in Deep Listening - listening "like a rock with ears", "with nothing on your mind", a powerful way of connecting with each other and ourselves. 

For this course, my focus is on how we can be part of creating lively, resilient communities even when others don't see a need - I live in a small village which is full of interesting people of goodwill, and yet lacks the kind of coherent spirit that I think is going to be vital as conditions deteriorate - even in our privileged part of the world.

Beyond that, I'm keen to grow my own understanding of systems, and what allows and catalyses transformation, and to meet, work with and learn from people with different experiences and from different places.
