WHAT MANY PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ABOUT ME IS

Amongst many other things...

1. I used to be a practicing installation, performance and visual artist.

And

2. I never really gave up being an artist, the art form I use now has just changed form.

At the age of 16 I began my training in the therapeutic arts and since then I have had the privilege of training with many masters of the craft.

When I look back now it’s clear how all the seemingly random influences from the various trainings, cultures, teachers and art forms that I have learnt from over the course of my life, have all come together in my current work.

All the….

VISUAL art forms
PERFORMING art forms
MARTIAL art forms
HEALING art forms
MUSICAL art forms
INTUITIVE VOCAL forms
MOVEMENT forms

All these worlds collide within my current therapeutic practice, teaching and facilitating INTERNAL TRACKING.

When I began practicing full time in a context outside of performance, outside of exhibitions and the public eye and entered the far more private arena of the therapeutic arts I found the deepest personal satisfaction. For many reasons this wasn’t available for me in any other realm.

In my current work I still get to continue unfolding into the love that I have always had of the improvised and the intuitive.

I still get to take joy in the instinctual creative process that unfolds when we let go of control into the void of the unknown.

I still get to make sense of imagery that emerges from the sub conscious under worlds.

And most importantly I get to sit face to face with people in the immediate human intimacy and interface with their psycho-spiritual minds and hearts.

This engagement with the richness of the inner worlds is the thing that I love most.

The process of teaching this work has been one of the greatest processes of growth and learning for me so far. I feel blessed by all the wonderful beings who have come to sit with me at this table. The ones who asked me to teach this work and the ones that keep showing up to learn.

I will be offering both an Internal Tracking inner inquiry training and a practitioner training this year starting in September, reach out if you would like more info.

I HAVE MANAGED TO AVOID EXPOSURE ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR DECADES, BUT SEEMS LIKE NOW IS THE TIME.

Coming from the generation of brains that fully developed into adulthood before devices became part of daily life, fluency with technology and social media has not been ingrained into my neural pathways.

Gratefully I’ve managed to make a living from my craft whilst (for the most part) avoiding the public exposure of social media.

I have been quietly working away doing what I love, accompanying people into the depths of their inner worlds for decades now.

In that time my work has developed into a unique therapeutic system called INTERNAL TRACKING, an art form I have been sharing with students for the past four years.

Recently, stepping into performing in the music world has nudged me towards meeting my edges with exposing myself publicly.

I have slowly begun navigating the challenges of social media platforms with more regularity but as yet I have not been really using it for the daunting task of publicising my work.

To be honest these platforms have both repulsed and terrified me. But I recognise their usefulness and the importance of being seen and seeing each other here if we want our hearts work to exist in the world.

So, this is me coming out from under my rock writing my very first personal post about me and my work. Hopefully it won’t be the last.

If you would like to know more about INTERNAL TRACKING and the training, I am running Sept – Dec this year there is a detailed description on the event page.

This is an invitation to all those courageous depth explorers who are drawn to the sacred in embodiment. Please join us tomorrow for movement exploration....

The practice of authentic movement invites us to let go of control so that grace can move the body as a non performative witnessed act.

The witnessing builds the container and amplifies the acute presence and aliveness that's needed to feel and follow the deeper impulses within the body.

The practice was devised over 50 years ago based in Jungian theory. It offers a deep space in which anything peripheral or liminal resting in our sub conscious field can have a place to exist in the room.

My personal experience of authentic movement is deeply reverential. For those of us who are sensitised it is a definitive portal into the unseen realms.
