I’ve surprised quite a few people recently by embarking on a strength training program.
About four years ago I was given Ken Wilber’s excellent ten CD set Kosmic Konsciousness. In amongst all kinds of learned and insightful material on a wide range of spiritual topics was something that I wasn’t expecting. Wilber started citing research showing Read More…

This summer I had something of a breakthrough in the way I lead workshops.

If you are familiar with how I tell stories, you will know what I mean by “Intuitive Storytelling”; I let myself be led by the story, by following an inner sense and a flow of images and words inside. Continue reading →

Michael first got in touch with me in 1998, shortly after I’d begun telling my intuitive stories. He said he was bowled over by what he’d heard and wanted to help me share what I had with the world.
Over the following 13 years Michael was the single biggest supporter of my work. He built the Read More…

Almost twenty years ago I was attending a spiritual talk of some sort in London and afterwards, as I wafted around the various leaflets on display by the entrance, I saw a quote that arrested me, attributed to Matthew Fox.
“Spiritual growth follows pleasure.”
I found this such a wildly counter-cultural statement! Surely spiritual growth involves Read More…

This May I gave my first ever workshop in Intuitive Storytelling, in Denmark. My friend Mathias Granum had already asked me before to run a workshop, but I had declined: I did not believe that I could teach people what I do, certainly not in a matter of days.
Some intuition had me, to my Read More…

It’s been a crazy summer. It feels like I haven’t stopped moving since May. That was the month that I gave my first workshop in Intuitive Storytelling, attended my first retreat with Robert Gonzales (a very inspiring NVC teacher from the US) oh, and bought a house.
Since then life has been really unstable. We Read More…

I’ve had a number of experiences recently that have made me ponder the question of how to deal with there being so much bad news in the world.
Maybe “bad news” does not sum it up accurately. Perhaps I mean simply becoming informed of what is going on. There are people who are highly knowledgable Read More…

Letting The Story Speak
I’m still fascinated by this new way of telling that I am learning while sitting at my son Luke’s bedside: to let the story take precedent over the telling. I’d like to explore this with my next story.
I’ve covered some of this ground already, so I’m a little concerned about repetition. Actually Read More…

I mentioned in my last post that I have been telling bedtime stories to my son, Luke. Actually there’s more to it than this. I’ve stumbled upon a whole new way of creating material.
Each time I tell to Luke, I afterwards note down the basic elements of the story, and at the end of the Read More…

Well, shortly after writing this, I went into the studio. I wasn’t at all happy with the story I told…
There’s always a temptation with studio work to get perfectionist with the telling. With every story that I tell in my studio, I can edit the recording on computer afterwards. So if I fluff a sentence, Read More…

Hello and welcome to the Stories of the Journey Home blog. This is the first blog I’ve ever written and I’m, er, embarrassed that it’s taken me this long. Michael and I have been updating the Stories of the Journey Home site this past year, and one of the new features that I wanted it Read More…
