Set Your Spirit Free's new streamlined service aims to help both individuals and businesses alike maximise their potential by using a unique person centred approach.

By helping people find their life's purpose and then to come together with others to find common purposes both in business and communities. It is hoped a great deal of the problems we are faced with today, in society and our world can be rectified.

Set Your Spirit Free now solely concentrates on personal and business development, using the Set Your Spirit Free coaching model, easily adaptable for both individuals and businesses, featuring the 5 essentials. 5 simple stages of development administered in weekly, fortnightly or monthly steps, over the phone, face to face, via skype or online. Or all at once via a Transformation Day.

The only addition to the main service is a branding service available to businesses that have acquired a new common purpose within their organisation, with my help and wish to develop this into a new identity for their company. With my previous branding skills and experience in the design industry I can help with this too.

Just over 12 months ago I left you with another quote from Howard Thurman "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

My ultimate dream is to run a sustainable, personal and business development centre on the coast somewhere in the world which includes sailing as well as nature as a tool to aid in that development.

In 2008, if not before, I realised that in order to feel truly alive I would need to include this aspect of myself into my work. I.e. Sailing.

In January 2009 I left English shores for Egypt to embark on a fast track course going from novice sailor to instructor in 9 weeks flat, which I successfully completed. I was then able to gain a Summer contract with Neilson Active Holidays over 6 months in Greece, teaching all manner of people how to sail, coming through more than the odd personal crisis, battling against various inner demons, to ultimately win self respect, and a belief that indeed, all is possible once you put your mind to it. Confidence in my own skin and abilities rose significantly when I came through whatever the circumstance I was being presented with.

I was able to experience some wonderful sights along the way, a black and white kingfisher on the edge of the Red Sea fishing at dawn, the Pyramids and Sphinx, Cairo and the Nile Delta, a sunrise like only Moses could have experienced from the top of Mount Sinai, the flap of a Swallowtail's wing, the colour of the Hoopoe, as well as all the sound of tranquilness on the Ionian Sea. Experiences not achievable in the UK and very inspirational.

A few of you will have shared in that journey, through my weekly missives from Dahab and Sivota, texts that are further inspiring me to continue with these newsletters and write a great deal more prose.

I have returned more certain of purpose and what I want to achieve with my ever expanding skill set and hope to include all of this new talent and passion that I ultimately want to offer you all here in the UK.

Set Your Spirit Free has every intention in the very near future to resume its schedule of Transformation Days, available to be attended in the beautiful South Devon countryside and possibly wider afield too.

However I'd really like your help in determining how such a day could take place, to help ensure its continued success and longevity, believing it to be a truly transformational course that needs to exist and be facilitated within both our personal and business worlds.

If you have ever considered one of my transformation days before, what days and months might be best suitable, i.e. is a weekend more beneficial to a week day? Is Devon the best location or would you prefer another? How much would you be prepared to pay for a day that almost certainly will change your life? And what would you want for that money, lunch or not? and to what quality?

Any help that you are able to give me with my research would be most gratefully received.

Set Your Spirit Free has undergone a change in emphasis of philosophy over the past 12 months.

My ethos still supports more sustainable ways of working and the very necessary transition we need to make in order to help support our planet, but it will no longer provide a specific service geared towards this, believing that the most important work for myself and maybe the rest of society too lies with re-engaging with who we truly are as individuals. As when this is achieved all the rest will eventually slot into place.

I believe that the reason for all the problems we are encountering as individuals, within business and society today is because we have lost touch with our nature. Both inner and outer. Our selves and our planet.

At the heart of our inner nature lies the secret to our individual happiness. Our life's purpose, the discovery of which ensures a more rewarding and meaningful life for us all. Losing touch with our outer nature is causing climate change, the depletion of the worlds resources, loss of habitat, loss of life, global poverty, unsustainable population growth and communication breakdown.

By reconnecting with our true nature and combining our life's purpose with that of others, we can create common purposes for both business and society, energising our population, evolving our world forward, creating the solutions we need for a more sustainable lifestyle. Thus by finding a solution for our selves we find a solution for our planet.

If you have a spare hour at lunch or at the end of the day in addition to reading my newsletter, hear Bruce Lipton speak explaining what I believe from his more scientific perspective, supplied to me by a good friend of mine Chukuweka Maxwell. It is truly inspirational and backs up my own philosophy. Happy listening!
