MEET MAC

You and I have a spring, a summer, an autumn, and a winter. I am in my winter season. Rough hewn, abraded and burnished, I am unlikely to be more than I am now. I love this earth, I love people, I love all things of life, and whatever I have to give is given to those born and unborn whom I shall leave behind at some unknown date in the not-so-far-distant future.

I speak of beauty, nature, spirit, courage and love – wherever there are those interested in listening.

I write, attempting to build bridges that connect like and un-like minds and hearts – reaching inwards in order to offer outwards.

I design, hold space, and facilitate all kinds of gatherings that enable an embodied experience of wholeness.

I mentor, listen, offer friendship, and where invited, guide.

SPEAKER

I have an ability to voice that which sleeps in the hearts, dreams, and longings of people everywhere. I do not consider any individual, group, organisation or country to be more important than any other. I am inspired by the knowledge that it is a privilege to be alive on this earth and that all of us have a role in shaping a peaceful, regenerative, flourishing future for all species.

WRITER

I write about the search for meaning and purpose in a culture that is captivated by values and beliefs that assault the Earth’s life-systems and progressively pulls the rug from under the children’s (of all species) future.

I write about a pathway that could guide us home, a pathway that can be trusted and experienced. A pathway that is not predicated on belief, faith, or even hope.

I write about the dreams and longings that all people have in their heart of hearts, and upon which our humanity depends.

MENTOR

My purpose is to touch hearts, fire imagination and invite courageous action to better serve our world. All my work is aligned to this mission.

Everything I offer has its source in experiences that are spiritually informed by nature. The spirituality I refer to is practical, familiar, and observable in every sunrise, sunset, blade of grass, birth and death. It is numinous, kind, and generous. It beckons, and I respond, tracking ‘the invisible path’.
