newbornseer
memory, mirrors, metamorphosis
Newbornseer offers insights, practical support and resources into processes of transformation enfolded within wisdoms from East and West.
It offers a unique process integrating psychotherapy, spiritual practice and radical science to heal the social and ancestral trauma that is the hallmark of our times.
As such, it is a portal bridging an old world with the new, the past with the present, spirit with matter
As one cycle closes, another opens…
This is the end of one great age and an entry into another – the quantum age. Whilst the well-trodden pathways of the shaman of the tribe, the sage on the mountain top, and the scholar in his cell still offer profound insights into human existence, these times demand a collective response that enfolds these insights into new pathways.
Newbornseer has been created to provide a channel for the emergent energies of our time. Its three-fold method of memory, mirroring and metamorphosis opens a doorway to the unconscious and a deeper relationship with the soul. This is an opportunity to learn new and ancient practices and engage in a process of evolutionary inquiry for oneself and with others.
Through The Chiron Academy, it offers one-to-one work, on-line courses, training and group inquiry, along with a members’ area where you can meet like-minded people, read the latest advances, and build community.
The method: memory, mirroring, metamorphosis
Embodied field inquiry: opening up the doors of perception
Lockdown challenged our very perception of ourselves, and ushered in the conditions for a deep transition. As we emerge, it raises the age-old question of what it means to be human, and what it means to lead a meaningful life.
Newbornseer provides the opportunity to ask simple yet radical questions of ourselves and of one another:
Who am I?
What brought me here?
What does it mean to be human in this new world?
Drawing on ancient and new practices, ‘Embodied field inquiry’ offers pathways to inquire relationally and energetically into the multi-levelled universe that arises moment to moment.
By accessing the unconscious wisdom of the body and the field it inhabits, the method bypasses normal cognitive functioning to find pathways between the different modes of the left and right hemispheres of the brain. This integrates the participatory/shamanistic consciousness of earlier times with the individualised consciousness of the current age – with the potential of transforming consciousness to a further evolutionary level.
About me
I am a depth psychotherapist and trainer, ideas pioneer and spiritual researcher, passionate about processes of human transformation. I care about the deep connections and insights that can be reached through simple, compassionate listening and witnessing – and see this as a way of recovering the soul from its exile outside modern-day consciousness.
I have a lifetime in teaching and research including the supervision of several ground-breaking doctorates, and an international publishing record. This is supported by over three decades of meditational practice and hermetic study. I specialise in the healing of intergenerational and cross-cultural trauma, from which the deceptively simply three-fold method has emerged. I see this as working with ancestral and karmic lineages which are held as memory within the body and field.
My Work
My academic work has been dedicated to inquiring into the systemic nature of power. This has been undertaken at Cranfield University, the Open University, Cambridge University, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, where I was Director of the Centre for Transformational Management Studies. I have given keynote speeches and workshops, amongst others, at the Academy of Management in America, The Cambridge Festival of Ideas, The Cambridge Festival of Science, The Bloom Sustainability Conference, Canada , The Thailand Conference on Buddhist Economics, and The Hungarian Transpersonal Psychology Association. In addition I have undertaken depth trainings in Buddhism, mindfulness-based psychotherapy, somatic trauma training, Kum Nye Tibetan yoga and holographic breathing.
Newbornseer has been established to consolidate the fruits of three creative projects that have emerged over this time.
Crucible Research
Crucible Research was set up in 2002 and comprised a team of meditational practitioners and academics. Using mindful methods and practices, we explored systems of power and leadership in businesses, universities, schools and spiritual communities developing our own method called ‘ethical inquiry’.
East West Sanctuary
East West Sanctuary was a building, a hub born in the heart of Europe, created to inquire collectively into relationships between old traditions, modern science and business practices, with a particular emphasis on cross-cultural and intergenerational patterns of trauma.
Incubatio
Incubatio represented a period in which the fruits of both projects were consolidated through depth work with groups and clients into more systemic ways of working with karmic, social and ancestral wounds.
Journey into the unknown
Come join with me in life’s rich embrace
Throw off the shackles of convention
Share with me the music of silent space
And mock ideology’s stern intention
to quell our liberation.
Help widen the web of interconnections to co-create a relational world that respects the individual in the collective – banishing the tyrannical mechanisms of power and shame that have gripped our beautiful world.
