Waking up to our lives through awareness, connection and clarity

For more than 20 years the work of Awareness in Action has been focused on these essential principles for sustainable wellbeing.

Awareness: being fully present to our thoughts, our actions, our emotions and everything happening around us, while recognising that everything is constantly changing and in motion.

Connection: realising how kindness and compassion are the fundamental basis of how we relate with ourselves and others.

Clarity: learning how our minds work, realising that our mind is like the sky—clear, spacious, limitless and full of potential—while our thoughts and emotions are like clouds that come and go and never mark the sky.

Now, as I am certainly in the second half of my life I want to take this work further and look more personally at how each of us find meaning in our lives..

Flourishing at each stage of our lives: in the chaos and stress of everyday life our need for meaning and purpose can often be pushed down our to-do list while we focus on what needs to be done. We need to reverse this and focus on what helps us to grow and flourish!

Creative ageing: Bette Davis is famously supposed to have said, Old age ain’t no place for sissies! Our society does seem to bear that out but actually, growing older is a marvellous journey of discovery and learning. My interest is in helping to build confidence in our ability to grow as we age.
