Hi this is a recent interview I gave on a visit to Scotland it is quite long but starts to get interesting about 30 mins in.
I was interview by Thomas Clough Daffern who is a lovely man and a great mind with a passion for learning and for peace he is a prolific writer on a wide range of subjects and i enjoyed my visit to his institute and home.

Hi All being some time since I last posted have had an eventful time of change and meeting new and old friends.
Last couple of months I have been catching up with people and setting time aside to work on new and old projects both in terms of writing and teaching which is bringing me back to my own practices.
I have found that it is in the role of teacher that I learn the most about my crafts and about myself, it is always been my belief that those who teach are there to guide others in their understanding and practice not to create a dogma or rule set.
It is in this process of guiding the student that we learn about their needs and strengths and how best we can support them by encouragement and praise. In this process we reawaken our own minds and spirits to the adventure of learning and discover afresh that which through time and familiarity we perhaps have forgotten.
I have two important principles set in mist for people i teach/guide
1. We must unlearn all we have being taught.
2. Those we guide are our teachers.
