Meeting Dr Jane Goodall a few hours before her Rewind the Future (Sydney) Presentation I had the absolute privilege of meeting and chatting with Dr Jane Goodall a few weeks ago and I can hands down confirm that she is just as amazing and inspiring in real life as she is in all the books, videos and documentaries she's written or featured in over the past six decades.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on our very first 'Buddhist Discovery Retreat'! About 4 years ago I did my first silent meditation retreat at Nan Tien Temple and found it so influential to my spiritual development at the time that I continued to make regular visits and shortly after built up the courage to radically change my career and life direction. Last weekend I was so excited to be able to offer a Buddhist Discovery Day Retreat offering workshops on activities such as the traditional practices of tai chi and calligraphy; as well as my favourite...

As a child my Dad would recount many stories of the steep ascent (and descent!) that he would take with the schoolkids he taught at one of the local High Schools in the area. At the time I had no real inclination to do the climb myself, however in recent months I felt so drawn to this mountain from my childhood that I was even dreaming about it! Then it appeared in a major feature article in National Geographic magazine and I learned so much more about it's spiritual significance to the local Aboriginal Yuin people, and I felt so incredibly ignorant that it had taken me this long to notice its vital value to the local area. So, over the Christmas break I strapped on my boots, packed my backpack and reserved a full day to immerse myself in a mountain of discovery.
