How To Find our SOUL Purpose ~ with Caroline Carey

Inner city to India's Gurus & the Welsh Valleys with Shivam O'Brien

Shivam O'Brien shares with us a fascinating tale of his inner city life, that led him to explore yoga and wanting to be a hippy in a far off land. Storyteller, carpenter, ritual poet, ceremonialist, Enlightenment Intensive master, tribal leader, writer, pilgrim and lover of the woods and the wild. Shivam exemplifies the Celtic tradition, and brings a reverence for indigenous and spiritual traditions from anywhere that might loan us enough time honoured wisdom to become real people again. His style is relaxed, wild, adventurous, challenging, welcoming and fun - polished over many years in service to the teachings and ceremonials of East and West. Some of his teachers are legendary.
