Vegans & Vegetarians making a difference!
Profile Information
- Are you Vegetarian, Vegan or something else?
- Vegetarian for about 22 years now, 5 of which were as a vegan then I moved to Cairo and could not live as a vegan there so went back to vegetarianism. Back in the UK now and getting disenchanted with being less than what i should be in terms of my diet and so working on moving back to veganism.
- About Me:
- My only passions in life throughout my childhood and then through my teens were writing and art. They remain largely so to this day. During my twenties I got sidetracked into being a school teacher for a while after completing my degree in sculpture at England's prestigious Bath Academy of Art and my post graduate qualifications at Goldsmith's College and then the Open University. Having done all that I wanted to do in teaching by the mid 90's I quit to do something else and that turned out to be Reiki. The training that I received proved to be a pivotal event in my life. I completed my Reiki training to Masters level and undertook further studies in the older Buddhist system of the 'Buddho' from which the system of Reiki was in large part derived. I then began to teach Reiki in my home town of Rugby in central England - at the time I was Rugby's only Reiki teacher. Reiki became a passion for me and something that I have remained strongly committed to, to this day. It is the thing that has helped to deepen and contextualize my practice as an artist and a writer and remains the main focus of my own daily spiritual practice. I have however been conscious of the spiritual dimension to life for most of my life and have explored many paths and systems over the last 20 years, most of which have had some lasting impact on my orientation to my place in the scheme of things. Having always had a strong desire to go and see the world in 2000 I moved to Cairo in Egypt to briefly resume my school teaching career and to teach Reiki. Three years in Cairo was a fantastic experience and I came back to the UK in 2003 determined to get a book written and restore my career as a successful artist that had been just about to take off when I turned my back on it for teaching. So this is where I am now. 'Reiki Jin Kei Do: The Way of Compassion & Wisdom' is written and out there for you to buy (and causing more than a few ripples in the global Reiki community). Other books are on the go (more ripples perhaps?) and I have resumed my work as an artist. I still teach Reiki in my home town of Rugby and also in Cairo and now also in other parts of the world. News on the progress of my other writing, art projects, exhibitions, speaking engagments and Reiki classes will be published on here and on my Main Blog at www.omahhum.blogspot.com. You can also find some examples of my artwork on my website.
