About Me:: Hello there.

I grew up in Tooting and now I have returned I appreciate living here more than ever. I feel very inspired by the Transition Town Tooting initiative and I am keen to help promote awareness and practice of more sustainable lifestyles in our local community.

I developed an interest in sustainable living over the last ten years or so, having attended a three month residential course in Sustainable Land Use in 2001 and run a few short urban permaculture courses in North London. More recently I have started to create permaculture designs for a variety of gardens around South London. Some of the latter has been done via Wandle LETS, a non - monetary community trading scheme covering Wandsworth and Merton.

My other main interest is in Buddhist practice - particularly meditation - as a means of developing a positive approach to life. I am also particularly interested in exploring the common ground shared by the major spiritual traditions, so many of which are followed in our local community.

Key Interests: Conservation, Recycling, Composting, Carbon Reduction, Wildlife, Education, Gardening

Experience/Skills: Previously I was a teacher in adult education for eight years, teaching mainly biology and computing.

Chairman of local LETS group.

Permaculture garden design and household sustainability assessments.

Teaching meditation and about Buddhist practice - with special interest in the scientific aspects of particular practices (such as meditation) and their relationship with other religious traditions.

Design and production of leaflets and webpages.
