My writing and speaking
Substack: A Sacred Enterprise
My primary channel
Where I host my musings on the question of faith, land, enterprise and England: depth, awe, purpose and place.
My hope is writing from a personal experience, people can place my thoughts into their context.
The Return of Spirituality & Religion
One hypothesis of this substack is that Western organisations are caught in a pincer like movement.
Externally, the non West is growing in political, demographic, financial and social power. And so is increasingly able to press its worldview. Spoiler, it is not the same as a secular western institution. Internally, Western culture is witnessing a reemergence of spiritual and religious ideas after decades of formal decline and statistics that masked a more complex picture.
“Spiritual Capital’: Has it come of age?
Building a company or a country is akin to baking a cake: you In economic circles these ingredients, these resources, are referred to as ‘capitals’: financial capital, human capital, natural capital. Resources you can use, steward and invest towards a common goal. Resources you can also deplete.
One capital that is ever present but rarely formally discussed, particularly in an enterprise context, is ‘Spiritual Capital’.

Exploring the ways to reconnect my nation (England) to its sense of place, character and beauty. A spiritual reformation via ancient stories is underway; this is one way I am trying to be part of that.
