About the Author

Since his teens, Nick’s  twin passions for storytelling and the quest for Self realisation, have guided his journey man’s career as a writer, meditation teacher, coach, and latterly also as a parent.

As a writer his work has been published in The Times and The Observer newspapers; The Ecologist, Wired, and Resurgence magazines, as well as broadcast on BBC Radio, wherever possible exploring the worlds of Personal Development, Spirituality, Ecology, and Social Justice, and also from time to time plumbing, home improvement, treasure hunting and personal finance.

Great learning and insight was found in all.

Having interviewed thousands of people as a writer over 20 years, including heads of state, spiritual leaders, scientific pioneers, and, plumbers, today as a coach he is re-tuning his listening ear and intuition in service of helping others find their true voice and calling.  When not coaching he leads Wild Awakening meditation and Qi Gong retreats in places of outstanding natural beauty, with his beloved partner Priya.

An erstwhile and often earnest spiritual seeker, increasingly Nick  finds contentment in the simple truths of everyday life near the French Pyrenees with Priya; where their Amazonian daughters, many animals and the elements keep their feet on the ground, hearts light, and minds open to possibility.

The All-Seeing Boy and The Blue Sky of Happiness, is the first of a series of four parables designed to re-mind children of all ages (8-80) of the true nature of the Self.
