The Finding Light Creative Mission
I launched Finding Light in 2025 to make a difference in the lives of others and the world at large.
I had journeyed far enough along my own path, and I intuitively knew that it was time to start dreaming bigger and finding ways to share the wisdom that I had gained through my life experiences.
Ever since I was a child, I have dreamed of being someone who can help others. By the age of 29 or 30, I had been told on a few occasions that I would make an excellent counsellor. This was after spending years working with people in different fields, as a football coach, personal trainer, and photography educator. All the signs had been pointing me towards this path.
I don’t claim to be a counsellor, and I don’t wish to be one—not in the official sense anyway. I have never liked the idea of sitting and listening as someone perpetually talks about their problems whilst doing nothing about them, digging a deeper and deeper hole of self-pity, and retreating further and further into the shadows. I wish to work only with people who are ready to take the necessary action to move through their problems to access a deeper state of being.
Over the past decade, creativity has been a great medicine for my own spiritual sickness; a great sense of non-belonging within myself or the world following my early childhood experience around domestic abuse and violence.
The creative process of going out into Nature, seeking, searching, and sometimes finding the light necessary to make a meaningful photograph, whilst deeply listening to the landscape and myself, and then writing about what I learned, was the ultimate form of therapy. This 9-year journey has led me to a place of presence and peace inside my own body.
My creative journey has brought about much catharsis and invoked a personal transformation that will form the foundation of a lifetime of purpose-driven work ahead of me. Many of my days now are spent working with others who are seeking answers to their own questions; I count it among my life’s greatest blessings.
My recent experiences working intimately with spiritual seekers and creatives on their respective individual journeys towards light have inspired me to dream a huge dream for the future of humanity.
Not only does creativity invoke healing at the deepest, spiritual level, and catalyse profound inner and outer transformation, but it can also lead us to deeper self-awareness and understanding, greater presence, and offer a sense of purpose and belonging that only a few things in this world can.
Creativity connects the spirit of the human being to something far greater than we can logically and rationally comprehend. Through creativity, we find belonging at the deepest level.
Finding Light exists, therefore, as a place of education, not simply on a practical or technical level, but as a much deeper, spiritual, and philosophical education that progresses and evolves at a rate much faster than my intellect can keep up with.
This education is woven into all my workshops and creative sessions, all of which blend creativity with mindset coaching, intelligent Socratic questioning, deep listening, and elements of ‘mirroring’.
This ‘mirroring’ introduces a person to parts of themselves they might have been unaware of; an aspect of the sessions and workshops that is fundamental in the mission of Finding Light: to use the mystical powers of creative practice and the portal of Nature to deepen self-awareness, heal the soul, and awaken humanity to new levels of consciousness.
Every session and workshop is led intuitively to guide clients into the depths of the subconscious mind, where they can retrieve insights and wisdom, and bring them out into the light of day, so they can be integrated and embodied, leading the person to a place of healing, wholeness, and deeper belonging in their body here on the earth.
Creativity, I truly believe, is the antidote to a spiritually sick society; a sickness which manifests in our physical bodies as diseases, ‘depression’, chronic fatigue, lethargy, addictions, and compulsions; not to mention the many neurological disorders that we might identify with to cope with the pain of our human experience.
Finding Light was built with the understanding that pain is a necessary part of a human being’s life; something we all experience in our own way, which causes many unique and individual challenges but also many universal ones, too. One of the core understandings that I have come to for myself through the fires of creative practice can be summarised in the following quote:
‘‘Pain is the great awakener—a catalyst for change. If we find the courage to relinquish control of our emotions, let go when we find ourselves desperately trying to hold on, and allow ourselves to feel what is within deeply, we can make our pain the most incredible gift, and become alchemists of the modern world, transmuting our pain into beauty and bringing healing to the world at large.’’
It is with this philosophy in mind that Finding Light was birthed with the primary mission of cultivating creative spaces where hearts can break so light can enter. Through the services I offer, I aim to connect people with the courage to embark on such a journey of growth and transformation—and nurture the embers in their bellies so a fire ignites within.
Courage, as David Hawkins is the first positive state on his revolutionary ‘Map of Consciousness’ model, acting as a gateway where one stops fighting life and begins to cooperate with it. Courage marks a shift from seeing life as a threat to viewing it as an opportunity for growth and transcendence; it allows a person to dream again and to begin imagining what might be possible with effective guidance, support, and encouragement, which sadly many people have never received in a world that has not been modelled on healthy leadership.
If you’re a curious seeker on your journey towards the light of healing or a creative person looking to access new depths of awareness or birth new writings into this world, I would invite you to explore the opportunity to work with me intimately in a private setting. My flagship Healing Through Words sessions are the perfect place to begin your journey to personal transformation.
I look forward to meeting you and guiding you to the place within yourself where you so desire to be.
In service,
