Your 'True Self' and Spiritual Coaching

All you need to do is open yourSelf... not to me, but to Life itself....

and the Self is revealed, as the very flow of Life.

About me as a Spiritual Coach

In short, I do not claim to be a Master, a Guru or an 'expert'.
I do not claim to hold the authority of any spiritual lineage or academic institution. I am simply doing the work that comes naturally to me.

'Technique'

My work is simply to encourage a dissolution of the story about the self to reveal the Presence of the Self.
I do not rely on any one specific technique.
No 'technique' or 'mechanism' is required for Self-realisation.

Influences

Many spiritual traditions are referred to and honoured in my work, but ultimately all ideas and teachings must be dropped in order to embrace the fullness of the Self, unconditionally.

The Source and the Self
The Self is revealing itsSelf at every moment. The awakening to this truth is Self-Realisation. It is not a stage or state to attain... It is eternally taking place. It is all that ever happens.

This is why zen and radical advaita traditions simply refer us back to the present moment, and to the everyday beauty, the mundane, the 'insignificant'... Because it is All Arising in Consciousness Here Now. Consciousness is the Root of All that Is...

Even the question, “What do I need to do to attain Self-realisation?” is just arising spontaneously in Consciousness... and doesn't require an answer...

A 'sutra' to meditate upon:

The only thing that distinguishes our consciousness from 'Pure Unconditioned Consciousness' is our feeling that something 'else' needs to happen before we can be 'complete', 'saved', or 'forgiven'... It is this feeling that weaves a seemingly solid web of identity around the stories that our thoughts provide.

Without this feeling, thoughts just arise and subside...
And the vastness of the Self remains clearly untouched... unstained...

Walks, picnics and meditation in Sintra

Nature inspires us to listen, to feel and to look with childlike admiration for Life.

Sintra has forests, beautiful gardens, cliffs and beaches - wonderful environments for meditation and for simply abiding in appreciation of life - in an attitude of gratitude.

Of course, it is true that it is possible to meditate in any and all circumstances or environments... However, most of us feel that a break from the daily rhythm - a 'retreat' to nature and silence - is deeply healing.

So, you are invited to come and walk with me and with friends, sharing in an attitude of gratitude for life, sharing our appreciation of nature and of each other - by the cliffs, on the beaches, in the forests, and also in Sintra's picturesque streets and gardens.

Coaching Walks can also be arranged for you individually or for your group.

Spiritual Coaching in Sintra, Portugal

Coaching holidays and holydays

Sintra is one of the most picturesque and magical places on this planet.

Walk and meditate in the forests, visit initiatic gardens and labyrinths, have a picnic on the cliffs looking over the Atlantic, savour the local foods and unique sweets, visit organic farms, or learn to surf, and each day receive an hour (or more) of coaching while soaking in the magic of Sintra.

Now is the time. What better place to unwind and to let yourSelf flower?
