If you would like to be a friend, you are welcome here.
You do not need to follow any path or belong to any tradition. If you are interested in the subjects on this website, or would like to talk about any of the posts, please write to me. I would be glad to hear from you.
I do not charge for talking with people.

Why I do this
All my work is part of my bodhisattva vow.
A bodhisattva is someone who vows to awaken, not for themselves alone but for the benefit of all beings. It is a promise to keep helping others on the path until everyone is free. Wisdom and compassion go together in this vow, and it is at the heart of the Mahayana tradition.
It is this vow that led me to set up Heartmind Retreat, and it was the same vow behind all my earlier work in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Friendship is part of that work. When we meet as friends, we help each other see more clearly and live more kindly.
