Students art in progress at The Oracle Gallery


It's always a fantastic experience to watch young people being creative.
When you completely remove the subject and encourage them to create freely, the results are always incredible.
By being completely in their joy, they become channels for such vibrant and expressive art.
Without words, their art has the power to awaken many.....purely by the energy of it.

Through working in this way regularly, everyone - whatever their age, develops self esteem, confidence, balanced mental health.

They become happier individuals and it makes you realise how much uniqueness is stripped away from a person throughout their existence here.

Without exception - 99% of the time, students arrive unable to express fully. It's as if they are broken somehow - and they are.

Our system of schooling that drills everyone to be the same so that the correct box can be ticked, just isn't working.

It's actually failing many.

What everyone actually needs is to be connected to the energy of their hearts, so that they can feel. So that they can tune into their intrinsic gifts - the ones that they came here to share.

It is the role of teachers - not to teach by telling, but rather to make space for people to feel safe. To give them the tools / techniques, and then invite the students to show them what it is that they need to share with the world.

Only then will the world become the space that it was always meant to be.

After all, our past masters in art weren't made to copy other past masters. They followed their own dream - their own passion and joy and so created masterpieces.
if on the other hand you copy, you are not in your joy, but rather in a left brain activity - 3rd dimensional. Completely incapable of accessing your genius - your ability to create a masterpiece, because you have been hobbled by the curriculum.

Much of the last 20 years has been about meeting people at The Oracle Gallery. There has been many interesting unfoldings and I've been privileged to meet  many incredible people. There has been a lot of conversation face to face but I've never really shared it with the wider world. One of my favourite days out is going to visit my friend Jenny in Freshwater. It's a fabulous drive along the coastal road from Chale to Freshwater Bay.... and then usually half an hours drive round Freshwater trying to find Jenny's house, which hasn't moved, but I  can never seem to remember where it is. The nub of our conversation as it turns out, was some throw away sentences at the end of a four hour talking rally. Roll back a few days previously. Days in the gallery take on all dynamics. It is like an energy vortex and I always forget that it seems to draw people in at lightening speed. There'll be many quiet days which involve me pootling about or being high as a kite w

Christmas Cottage

I have finally finished renovating Christmas Cottage, Church, Godshill, the Isle of Wight. The cottage is 400 years old and has been a family home for me since 1996. Typically it has never been this comfortable, tidy, warm or beautifully decorated the whole time I have lived there! When I first moved in everyone thought  I was mad, as the place was very run down. We spent the first Christmas with no heating, had to cook our turkey up the road, use a drain as a toilet and manage a cat that was insecure and  peeing on everything. At one point during the renovations you could look up from the cellar and see the roof. At another time the entire chimney from an upstairs fireplace fell through the floor below. It was chaos and was never really finished until recently when a second wave of energy, time and money meant that I was finally prepared to take on saga no 2. The last year has given me permanently gritty hair, broken nails and a whole wardrobe of paint splattered clothes, bu

Light of the World

In our earthly journey we have the choice and conditions to evolve beyond ourselves from 3rd dimensional beings to 5th.  The first being within the box, the second being boundless. universal consciousness itself. Eternal. Beings of Light. Angelic.  In the no mind state, in a state of being love, we become channels of the Divine. 💜💛💚💙💗💜💛💚💙💗💜💛💚💙💗💜💛💚 When young people use to rock up in the gallery in a bewildered state - and a far behind the eyes look - I would know exactly where they were. I would also know that they had been guided in by spirit and that they need my help. There was always a beautiful soul connection that I could feel with all the students when they arrived and so often I could feel a pain from them. They experienced this because they were disconnected - as I had been - from source energy, from spirit. They had lost the language of love through countless lifetimes. I became aware that I had served other lifetimes with them and t
