My Adventures
I'm a creative soul. I started writing about my adventures online because I kept meeting people who started to talk about how they wanted to change their lives.
I told them about my approach I'd created for myself - and how I'd managed to leave an industry I'd fallen out of love with to find my unlived self.
It struck a chord. People started asking me to work with them to find their wayforward.
I believe we all have an unlivedself - waiting to be born.
'I must create a system, or by enslaved by another mans. I will not reason + compare. My business is to create'
William Blake, Jerusalem The Emanation of The Giant Albion
My Background
I worked in the music industry as a musician, producer & engineer for more than a decade. I then moved into the creative marketing sector - rising to become the CEO in an agency. But as the Tech Bros entered the scene, I knew it was time for another change - in 2019 I radically started to change my life.
But like many people I had commitments. Finding a way forward wasn't easy. But I did it whilst keeping those close to me on my side.
The Unlived Self
Distinguished since childhood, haphazardly assembled from voices and fears and little pleasures we come of age as masks.
Our true face never speaks.
Somewhere there must be a storehouse where all our unlived lives are laid away
like suits of armour, like clothes hanging limply on the walls.
Maybe all paths lead there - to a repository of our unlived things
The Book of Hours, Book II, Poem 12, by Rainer Maria Rilke
Eureka
It was a eureka moment. I knew I had to find my unlived self. And that's what I've done over the past 6 years.
And that's why I set up this site. To hopefully give fellow travellers some thoughts and ideas they can use - things I've found useful on my journey.
'If you don’t know what you’re doing, then you’re on the right track, because you’re open to the whole world of possibilities. You don’t want to already have the ideas within you - as an artist you have to create a culture that invites ideas in'.
Terry Riley, Composer
An Amazing Journey
I write online because I made the journey from CEO to Natural Burials and enjoy sharing my adventures. I'm now more alive than I've ever been.
It's been an amazing journey - ups and downs, divorce, finding the love of my life and a career to - well, die-for!
