Hi

I’ve noticed a trend in blogs to write a bio in third person. I won’t be doing that. I haven’t the clout.

I’m Calum. A generalist. Interested in many things, expert in none. I am or have been an actor, a chef, a personal trainer, a door-to-door salesman, a stand-up comedian, an anthropologist. All of these things I did at a high standard for a novice, and low for a pro. That’s how I like it. I love the burst of learning going from novice to competent. Not so much the slow grind of going from competent to expert. 

Life is a quest to reach the wholeness of our selves. To gradually become better receivers for the intuition of our hearts. To excavate our repressions and pathologies so that we can better follow the path of our own life force. To take responsibility for becoming the fullest embodiment of dynamic loving action.

My personal journey has been characterised by a balancing act between befriending the sad, frightened little boy inside myself, and taking back control of this human bus from him. Without understanding and honouring the child in me, he’ll keep playing puppeteer to my adult self. But with all the compassion and respect in the world, children should not be allowed to drive buses. They crash them.
