I have been a craftsman in Hampshire for many years building custom made furniture based on Shaker designs. My spiritual journey started unfolding when, in 1997 a tumour forced me to take time out and to rethink my life. Through daily meditation, breathing exercises and change of diet I healed myself completely.
Due to my circumstances I had to give up my workshop, which meant everything to me at the time. Only later I realized this step was necessary for me in order to move on spiritually.
When I had recovered from my illness I went to America for some time to live, work and study Sufism at the Abode of the Message, a Sufi Community in Massachusetts.
On my journey in America I met Tolly Burkan, father of the Global Firewalking Movement who taught me to facilitate firewalks.
I am a F.I.R.E. (Firewalking Institute of Research and Education) certified Firewalking Instructor and Seminar Leader.
