Hello
Hello, I’m David. I am originally from England.
Life has taken me on many journeys. I am married and currently live on the north shore of Maui, Hawaii. I also spend sometime in Portugal where we have a small townhouse. My heart is in Wales where I lived for almost twenty years.
I am been practicing Tibetan Buddhism for just over thirty years. Meditation is an important part of my life.
I also sit in a men’s groups. I have been involved with men’s work since 2015, when I was introduced to it by a good friend. I very much appreciate this work’s presence in my life. Sitting in a men’s group led to a spell of time co-facilitating similar groups in the local jail.
Last, but not least, I identify as an introvert and highly sensitive person. Quiet time is important to me.

Why the Owl avatar at the top of this website?
While living in Wales I had a resident Tawny Owl on my property. She raised a couple of chicks in an old, hollowed out apple tree while I lived there. They are quiet birds in flight and well camouflaged. I could not always see her, but knew she was around somewhere, and I would hear here call out at night. Her continual presence left an impression on me.
