Growing Pains
âI canât feel myself growing!â Says the 5 year old who only yesterday was complaining of aches in her little legs. One of the many joys (and terrors) of parenthood is seeing rapid growth before your eyes. For a youngster, the allure of adulthood must be supremely enticing; eat what you want, watch what you

Somethingâs up.
You donât feel right. A yearning, a questioning, perhaps a sense of curiosity. Maybe itâs worse; a feeling of dis-ease, a malady, excessive rumination. Lets assume that something inspires you to seek out change. And you do. You take your courage and you book yourself into a retreat. Many people join our retreats when life has

The I that Sees
A look. A glance. A reflection. The Eye. It sees. What? The Yogis refer to the mind as the inner instrument (antakarana) and this morning, if you will indulge me, I have a little game that we can play together. Bring your awareness to what you see before you. A screen. Some text. A desk.

Life Moves (Who is the I?)
Life moves. Stuff grows. Sadly, we are like a business; if we ainât growing, we are most likelyâŠ. Death⊠gulp, what are we going to talk about next, surely not taxes? (Though it may be topical right now, I promise I will spare you!) Besides the obvious, when it comes to life, what can

Get Lost (and find yourself)
Navigation was one of those things that was drilled into me at an early age; scouts, cadets, and a father who himself served in the reserves. By the time I needed to navigate in the Army, I had my fair share of bearings under my belt. To navigate (with an old school map and compass,

When all else failsâŠ
Doom. Itâs everywhere. AI is going to take over, bots are driving us apart. Don’t make the mistake of browsing the comments section under a video, picture or article! Foreign interference. Left vs Right. East vs West. Simply put… Hate. How to cope in this tit-for-tat world, especially when it seems to be accelerating so damn

The Game of Life
I grew up as part of the game-boy generation; back then Tetris was considered a mind-blowing experience. It was revolutionary that we could have an entertainment device in our hot little hands, able to be played when we wanted. Over the proceeding decades, games have got increasingly sophisticated, to the point that at a glance,

A Single Ray of Light
Modernity is awash with good intentions; people support all manner of causes as they capture the collective imagination. Few consider, though, the old adage of âgood intentions pave the way to hellâ and fewer still believe it applies to them. Why is it that we are drawn to cast judgment? To pick up arms? Why

Projection vs. Reflection
“But whyyyyy?” Anyone who has spent time around an inquisitive 3 or 4 year old will surely have had their fill of that simple question! Invariably, I grasp around trying to remember a relevant fact from high school geography, and try to bring my explanation down to the level of a pre-schooler. “The clouds are read because…. it

Chasing the Point
Iâve spent a considerable portion of my life asking the question âwhatâs the point?â Often I am triggered to ask this sort of question when I donât understand a predicament I am facing. In my despair, Iâve gone so far as to ask âwhatâs the point of even living?â They say it never hurts to

Yoga: The futility (and necessity) of effort
Trying. Striving. Struggling. When we first start upon the path of any applied pursuit, be it self-cultivation, a skill or hobby like learning an instrument, there is no denying that effort is absolutely required. Indeed, effort seems to be rewarded with what seems like progress. And the more effort we apply, the more effort we

We’re back!
We’ve been a bit quiet the last 9-12 months and we are sorry if you have missed us or if we have been slow to respond. Where have we been? Let us bring you up to speed… Traditional Yoga has the lofty goal of enlightenment; freedom from suffering in this lifetime. Practices like meditation, hatha yoga,

Winning is Grinning
Who would have thought? Way back when, I got taught to fight. As a soldier, you learn at boot camp that you donât bring a knife to a gun-fight. âWeapons overmatchâ is the military jargon for âbring a bigger gunâ and this Monday Iâm reflecting on how the outer conflict of my service can provide

The Cost of Being Free (it isn’t Cheap!)
One of the good things about a commercial model for our Ashram was that it acted as a screen that separated the sincere seekers from the tyre kickers. Iâm guessing 90% of people saw our old $3000+ price tag of a retreat and simply⊠disappeared. âToo expensiveâ âNot in my budgetâ Or maybe even⊠âwhat

Pay-it-Forward
In our online communication, we make big claims. “Life-changing” “Transformative” “A journey of rediscovery” You may have thought we are exaggerating… or that we are sleazing onto you with hubris (or maybe that we are just a pack of wankers?!) We aren’t. We know what we share works. We’ve seen the tears, we read the emails,

Mission Focus
In my gung-ho days of service in the military, we were always badgered with âthe mission.â Often, we were made to memorise the pithy one line mission statement. It even had a formula; Do xxx⊠by yyyy⊠in order to zzzz. Kill/capture the bad guy, by tomorrow evening, in order to save the hostage. Iâm

The Rollercoaster of Life
High / Low. Up / Down. Twists / Turns. âŠ.The Polarity – Good / Bad Black / White If you ride on a rollercoaster long enough, youâll get sick. The nature of the ride is to thrill us, to entertain us, to excite us. Such is the nature of Life. But when you line up

Cutting through Indecisiveness
There you are⊠finally aware of why you are suffering. A dot is joined. You have come to the realisation that an impression or imprint was left on you at an early age. It might be an early childhood trauma, or perhaps a more subtle experience like the example embodied by a parent. Oftentimes, we
