A PERSONAL NOTE FROM MARK 

Everyone is capable of change, however ships are built, they don’t come in. We all suffer the inevitable trauma of life in our youth. Our brains run programs to help us survive and find certainty in an uncertain world. These programs soon become outdated and turn against our own desires of personal evolution and growth. We become entrenched in our personalities that we have developed over decades. These ‘masks’ imprison us and before we know it we are using these programs to cope and survive rather than arrive or thrive. That is depressing in itself. We are all creates with unlimited potential and we al have a burning desire to fulfil that need. When we learn how to go past our genetic, learned tendencies a new consciousness soon emerges. When we become aware and then create this change the miraculous happens and we are set free to explore a new world of unlimited potential. This is the science of finding your spiritual self and it is a marvellous and wondrous journey into new and unknown territory, mystery and bliss is available to everyone who is willing to do the work to get there.

You are treated like a sojourner, a passionista, a person in need of profound change, healing, growth and transformation. As such you keep your phones and laptops, your dignity, solitude and privacy as you need it. The balance between growth and development and empathic loving care is second to none. You will feel the atmosphere as you walk through the door. We are down to earth, earthy and spiritual. Open to all people, religions and lifestyles. We are all about connection, support and profound personal growth.
