In aid of sharing the knowledge, understanding and skills I have been lucky to have had the chance to gain along my way, I am pleased to be able to offer workshops and courses on a range of topics, individual mentoring and my take on tutoring individuals and small groups, in more traditional academic areas, with my personal approach.
I am a primary and secondary qualified teacher with a range of teaching experience, teaching people of all ages, children right through to adults. I offer learning experiences for children, teenagers and adults, all ages. I have a science degree with majors in mathematics, history and philosophy of science and philosophy, and a sub major in physics. I have undertaken courses, and experiential and self led learning, on a wide range of topics beyond this traditional academic education, that have broadened my understanding of the world in important ways, including permaculture, healing, personal growth, relationships and communication.
I can bring all this together in programs of learning that are practical, positive, experiential, transformative and meaningful. I can customise a program to suit you or your group's needs, or you may choose from one of my suggestions below. There are many reasons that we all need to change the way we live for the better, my focus is not on these reasons, but on getting stuck straight into moving on our way forward, and creating the future we want, incorporating the best of traditional and ancient knowledge, with the best of all the new ideas of recent times.
- Reconnecting with yourself, your loved ones, the Earth;
- Simplifying your life, reclaiming your time and returning to the meaningful;
- Steps towards greater personal sustainability - beyond 3 Rs - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle… Renew, Remake, Respect, Rethink, Reimagine...;
- Make it, mend it, maintain it;
- Building sustainable connected communities;
- Respectful and constructive interaction and communication;
- Taking charge of your own health and healing;
- Engaging the flow;
- Stepping up and into the new;
- Your custom topic, based on anything on this website, or suggestions beyond - just ask and I'll see if it's something I can develop!
I can tailor the format of your workshop or course to suit your time frame and individual or group style. I am able to give talks on chosen topics and answer questions in Q&A sessions, facilitate group discussions and workshopping of ideas for participatory learning, and run activities for developing skills. My preference is for learning to be led by the learners and to deeply engage each person to anchor the learning, so I like to include a range of formats to cover a range of directions and enable more complete learning.
I also like to include some energetic and body work for complete holistic learning, this can be in the format of short simple exercises or methodologies incorporated within a more traditional style program, or it can be a major component of the program in the form of one or more included ceremonies or rituals to give weight and depth to the event as a whole, for greater transformation on many levels. These will be tailored to the particular program with details on request, you can see more general information about ceremonies and rituals on the 'Sacred Circles and Ceremonies' page.
Please contact me for further details on what I can offer and let me know what you are looking for.
I can work with individuals to help identify key changes to help you move forward to a better way of living for you, step by step, so that the process of change is exciting and fulfilling and not too overwhelming. I can help you to work through anything blocking forward progress in a number of ways.
Please feel free to contact me and ask about what you might need, even if you aren't really sure what exactly it is that you might need, and I can let you know how I might be able to best help you.
I can also offer individual or small group tutoring in traditional academic subjects, for students who may need a little extra help. While working on the academic knowledge and skills in areas such as maths, science or literacy, I also focus on identifying and addressing underlying blocks to learning; for example, building students' confidence in their abilities, improving ability to concentrate and focus, and strengthening self-motivation. These underlying issues are often the keys to improved effort and attitude to learning, which then often follow automatically to improved achievement within academic realms, even in some cases without further instruction or support in the actual area of study, though this is of course also generally helpful in addition, at least for a short time to enable some "catch up" until students are ready and able to continue on their own. I will also help students to understand that everyone has value and the ability to contribute in their own way, and that this is the most important thing, not necessarily success as narrowly defined by the current systems of education and modern mainstream society in general, which in turn can also help a student find their own way to excel while they navigate their way through the mainstream system and do their best in the traditional academic areas.
