Hi, I’m Mark, a poet, theologian, and community builder based in Cambridge, UK.

My work begins with a simple question: how might the parts of life that modernity has separated become whole again? I am drawn to the places where theology, philosophy, psychology, science, beauty, and lived experience illuminate one another.

I am a Christian rooted in the Catholic tradition, with a contemplative spirituality shaped by the Carmelite and Hesychast traditions, alongside a long engagement with Zen. My faith is Trinitarian and centred on Christ. I seek the presence of God in prayer and sacrament, but also in beauty, friendship, service, and the extraordinary variety of human life.

I am developing a framework for spiritual healing and formation that brings patristic theology into conversation with depth psychology, contemplative practice, and systems thinking. At its heart is a concern with coherence: how people, communities, and traditions can become more truthful, loving, integrated, and alive.

My creative work explores the same territory. I am writing and composing The Golden Thread, a body of poetry and sacred music tracing a movement from creation through exile and return towards communion, transformation, and homecoming. Its sound draws together folk, choral, and contemplative traditions.

I am most at home creating spaces where depth and belonging can grow: contemplative communities, pilgrimage, parish life, discipleship groups, and conversations in which people can be encountered without being reduced. I believe the strongest communities are formed not by erasing difference, but by learning how to hold it within a deeper communion.

Across everything I make, I am trying to serve the same work: bringing intellect, imagination, faith, and ordinary life into a more coherent whole.
