About the Presentation

This presentation will be based upon the Buddhist concept of the 37 factors of awakening. These 37 factors form a holographic blueprint/pathway that one can follow and put into practice to open the doorway too the varying stages of awakening towards full enlightenment. Buddhism at its core is a science-based system and embodiment of these 37 principles will lead one towards complete freedom & liberation.

About the Presenter

Having met my meditation teacher in the year 2000 at the age of 19, I began to take my first footsteps towards awakening to higher levels consciousness and understanding reality. I lived off grid in a small cabin in the mountains of Southeast QLD for six years with no electricity or running water, diving deep into the meditation practices I had been given by my teacher.

During this period, I moved to North-eastern Thailand to live in the forest temples and progress further in my training. I have been trained in Hermetic Science, Buddhist & Taoist philosophy as well as Esoteric Christianity. I have a great passion for spirituality and assisting in the progression of human consciousness. I believe everyone can awaken to the higher aspects of themselves, when given the right tools and directions, as well as having a sincere desire to learn & develop spiritually. Training the mind is no different to training the body, it takes tenacity, courage and a firm will to succeed.
