About Richard
Hi! I'm Richard.
Spirituality and mysticism have been a focus of my life since teenage years. I had an unwavering drive to know myself and life beyond what can immediately be perceived in the 3D.
This led me to ever more mystical experiences. I was drawn to sites such as Glastonbury or Avebury in the UK and Badrinath, Gangotri and Rishikesh in India. These places always give me a sense of being home.
At the same time I discovered that people would often open up around me, trusting me with their vulnerability. I found I intuitively knew what was gong on with them on a deeper level and could easily put my finger on the source issue.
However, my life has not always been about the purely mystical. Having various medical/caring jobs, becoming an unplanned father and suddenly having to move country provided me with the spiritual gym to ground this mysticism in everyday life and all the challenges that physical life on this planet brings.
My thirst for spiritual exploration brought me to Openhand, an organisation committed to supporting the planetary shift and helping people ascend through that. The way I facilitate and coach comes from my continuing exploration with them.
What I find myself doing now, without effort or identity, is facilitating alignment with soul and universe. This happens first and foremost in myself, then with others, nature, the planet and the spirit world. This happens through various roles I find myself in - spiritual mentor, psychologist, father, carer, author, musician, workshop leader, etc.
I am committed to serving the divine and the shift in consciousness, working with the land and with people. People often experience me as calming and safe, grounded and clear.
