Mark says this about himself:
"After graduating from a master’s degree in creative writing I began to study Astrology. Following initially the Kabbalistic perspective as taught to me by Warren Kenton. I began to see Astrology, and the related topics of what might be called the Western Mystery tradition, as a key to transform the limitations of my conventional education. It was during this period in my early twenties that I also took a more experiential path in a meditational school taught by Dr. William Bloom.
In my late twenties I began to study Astrology and transpersonal Psychotherapy in earnest, embarking on Noel Tyl’s Masters Astrology program and a Psychosynthesis Diploma Training. During the Astro 2000 conference in Denver I was to meet Jeffrey Wolf Green for the first time. He was talking on Saturn in Taurus (a resonant subject for me at the time as my natal Saturn was close to returning there) and I was struck by the depth of his perspective. I was fortunate to attend in 1999 the only school Jeffrey taught in London. A few months later on the exact day of my Saturn Return I was teaching an Astrology class at a local Holistic Health Centre, I have beeen teaching Astrology ever since.
In 2002 I graduated from Noel Tyl’s Masters program, as a Psychosynthesis Therapist and as an Evolutionary Astrologer from Jeffrey Green’s School. I taught my first Evolutionary Astrology (Pluto) School that year just outside London. I have been the main teacher of three UK Scools to date. I have been in private practice as a Psychosynthesis Therapist also since that time.
My Psycosynthesis Counslling work focusses on the capacity of individual’s to develop empowered choice in their lives, the approach developed is unique for every individual depending on their needs. I live and work in Bristol, England. I live with my long-term partner Clare who is a Graphic Designer. In recent years a commitment to the preliminary prcatices of Tibetan Buddhism, a study of A Course in Miracles and regular retreats have helped integrate my eclectic but focussed spirtuality.
