Meditation in Balingup  Wednesdays 6:00 – 7:30 pm $20 (resumes February)

Corporate option: MEDITATION has been shown to lower stress and workplace injuries. For corporate settings, I offer from 2-hour to full day (up to two days/month) options for management, machine-handler, mining, and hospital (staff) options. COST: $2500 / day (plus travel and accommodation where applicable).

My consultancy in both education and mindfulness-meditation continues, though I am not actively pursuing contracts (offers will nonetheless be considered on their merit and my availability).

Meditation Retreat-Workshops – registrations are open

Three dates and three iconic locations from which to choose, each offering a programme rich in inner depth. The programmes run from Friday evening until Sunday 10 am.

Transform inner fears and anger, accept the flow of love’s curiosity, avoid greed and envy – explore these known benefits of meditation… deepen your experience and discover ways to establish and maintain a personal practice that works for you…

Meditation retreats include
optional yoga or movement session
optional sound healing session
other optional extras based on location

These Workshop–Retreats combine offerings from wellness, neuroscience, and meditative practices.

We’ll include elements from neuroscientific research and other investigative fields; provide efficient techniques and methods of meditation; and develop a framework to establish and maintain regular practice.

Using a simplified neuro-anatomical model through which to deepen meditative practices, the retreat space supports participants in personal journeys.

TERM 1 2026 (Feb-March) 8 weeks

Western Culture is steeped within a Christian framework that is, increasingly, being caricatured through some of its historical failings. Yet to understand much of the artwork, culture, holiday periods, even how it is that we have weekends as non-working days (at least for some of us), to partake of and to understand foundational texts is important. We will read through the Gospel of St Matthew (and where relevant, cross-reference to Greek philosophy, Mesopotamian astronomy/astrology, and their respective developments over the course of the ensuing centuries). I recommend the Jerusalem Bible as a good translation.

Similarly, Eastern culture has heavily been infused with streams emanating from the Upanishads, and one of the most influential line is through the Advaitist tradition through Sankaracharya’s AtmaBhoda – a versed book that, like many others in the tradition, holds in condensed form a vast worldview and way of being.

9:30 – 11:30 BOOKS – Gospel of St Matthew – Jerusalem Bible translation (available as a pdf here – Matthew only), and the Atma Bodha (available as a pdf here).
12:30 – 2:30 ART – focussed on Geometry and Astronomy

Spiritual Awakening: – Formation and  Personal Development through individualised Spiritual Direction guided by meditation and imagery.

If you are unfamiliar with Spiritual direction, please do check SDI (Spiritual Directors International). Spiritual Direction is a process in which a person seeks guidance and support for their spiritual growth with the help of a mentor or spiritual director. It involves exploring questions of faith, purpose, and connection with the divine, focusing on inner transformation and personal insight. Imagery in spiritual direction serves as a reflective tool to facilitate dialogue, insight and introspection. Symbolic imagery helps uncover personal developmental patterns, spiritual insights, and areas for growth, providing a meditative grounding from which to explore one’s spiritual path.

I offer a 6-month and 12-month package, meeting on a monthly basis (online if too distant to meet in person), with additional contact sessions as negotiated if needed. Cost $260 per monthly session.

For details do have a look at this pdf outline, or contact me to reserve an initial consultation – by email, text +61 490770061, or use my contact form:
