...where your deepest longing can be experienced, so you can become more consciously rooted in it, and learn to draw its power into your daily life.

Drawing on my own journey as a monk, with extensive experience in guiding others, I offer both one-off consultations and on-going support. I'm no doctor or therapist, but I know the basic drivers of behaviour, how inner blocks dissolve and new blueprints for life, one now based on personal longing, can be written.
In programmes of varying length, I also introduce 'apprentices' to mind-training, based on an individual's deepest longing. This longing has the power to dispel the slightest discomfort, disquiet, or fear. Mind training is supported by guidance in meditation and trance-journeying, to reconnect you to the inherent power and innocence of your mind, make this life your last one, and establish it in joy.

About me

I was a monk for over 20 years in Trappist monasteries in England, Ireland and the Netherlands. From 2002 to 2004, I served as chair of the Monastic Interreligious Dialogue for the Dutch-speaking region including Flanders, and participated in the 10th Spiritual Exchange with Japan. In 2011, I left the Order and my task as meditation teacher to guests in the abbey, and traveled to the home of Celtic Buddhism in America, later returning to Europe as an advocate of mind training in the Celtic tradition. I combines this work with a passion for writing.
