Personal Formation
Character & Spiritual formation
in a high responsibility life
I help successful people
pursue the personal formation
needed to navigate that life.
For some, it may be the last great
mountain to conquer: themselves.
Solomon. Aurelius.
Wilberforce. Lincoln.
Guiness. Cadbury.
Bonhoeffer. King.
Lewis. Tolkein.
History’s greats
all knew two things.
High responsibility and influence
is a life of high personal challenge.
Spiritual and character formation
is vital to navigate it well.
But modernity is not good
at acknowledging this.
So it woefully under prepares people
for a life of success and influence.
It teaches how to pursue success, not the complex, difficult realities of living with it.
It provides a weak sense of identity and meaning beyond status and achievement.
It provides no frame for integrating the sacred and transcendent.
It lacks empathetic, non judgemental spaces to discuss its challenges.
So what is the answer?
Meaningful Mentorship
+ Spiritual Direction
All the great stories teach us that becoming who we are called to be is a sacred but challenging task.
One that benefits from an external companion to help us look beyond ourselves as we proceed…
Samuel & David
Merlin & Arthur
Gandalf & Aragorn
Aslan & Peter
Yoda & Luke
What is Spiritual Direction?
Because our hyper modern culture lacks answers alone, you must look outside of it: Spiritual Direction is a way to do that.
It is rooted in the principles, practices and pragmatism of the early monastic, mystical and contemplative Christian tradition.
It has provided personalised support to monarchs, clergy, artists, merchants and intellectuals for 2,000 years.
My approach marries the pedigree of this ancient wisdom tradition with contemporary excellence.
Think of it as having access to the insights and benefits of a personal retreat but in real time. The goal being enriched, ongoing personal formation.
You don’t need a faith to benefit from it. If you have one, great: if not, we can make that work, too.
Trusted. Discreet. Experienced.
