About Me

Life - creative seeds, waiting to take root

40+ years ago I was given both jewish and islamic names, born into a steely commitment to common ground.

30+ years ago I left 4 siblings and a one-bed council flat for a prestigious boarding school, traversing very different worlds.

20+ years ago I was diagnosed with my third and most life-changing chronic illness. An ecological alarm clock.

10+ years ago I started valuing the hard work of trying to be a better husband, father, brother and son - today.

Work - ‘Work is love made visible - Khalil Gibran’

I started as a theatre-director, working with playwrights, actors and communities. Stories are powerful.

I went on to support social leadership development - working with civic leaders, international human rights defenders, politicians, social entrepreneurs, pioneering educators and young people. From them all I’ve learnt about mutuality.

Now I focus on the deeper (cognitive, embodied, systemic) roots of transformative change, helping people to help themselves, their communities and our wider systems - preferably in that order.
