After leaving Merton College Oxford, I joined the Civil Service, then back to Oxford University, where my work was published in 1974. I chose not to pursue the acquisition of 'wealth', 'power positions' & owning more 'stuff' by taking a 4-year degree in Fine Art and History of Art 1/1.

My artwork is in various public and private collections.

During the last 25 years, I've been teaching deep creative processes amidst increasing 'complexity', i.e., making quantitative and qualitative adjustments in emerging & immerging realities.

An original contributor (2001) to the M.I.T. Presencing Institute 'project', collaborating with co-founders C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, and Silicon Valley's Santa Fe Inst. co-founder W. Brian Arthur.

I was an author & editor at Integral Review and an adviser/author at Integral Leadership Review.

Midwife to REOS Partners London office I resigned as it split from Jaworski's original firm Generon. I worked for two years with a co-founder of Google's 'DeepMind,' created for ‘perfecting general intelligence’. I co-initiated a sustainability 'think tank' in S.France with the ex-head of sustainability at Royal Dutch Shell now Shell. My experience with all these teams was their operating in an unrecognized mess

'Deep Creativity' - is the fruit of my work since 1977 - i.e., how we can learn to operate from the same source/dynamic that Nature does, healing what is broken at all levels in both culture and nature.

I worked with teams from The House of Commons in 1998 - 2000 as a 'adviser' at the Secretary of State level. My writing has brought connections to Senators and Congressmen. In 2000-2001

Mentoring work is exemplified by Basu (left,) a Nepalese ‘street orphan’ from the age of about 5. He learned the 'action' of ‘ethics’ under the compassionate care of 'uncle' Kailash Satyarthi (top panel) - both work freeing children, like those pictured, from the scourge of modern slavery and sex trafficking. Kailash was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014.

A high point in my career was a note from Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate 1977, Al Gore's chief climate adviser, saying I was on the ‘right path,’ in my creative work and general understanding of 'increasing complexity,' i.e., "the fine messes we have gotten us into." A good description of where the world seems to be today.
