My work is a weaving
of these inner and outer worlds.
Outer action & Inner transformation.
It is a great pleasure to pass on the meditations, practices and understanding arising from my inner journey, together with the technical and design know-how from my design, construction and project work with the Reciprocal Frame.
The Peacebuildings project
is an amalgamation of this inner and outer work.
Each project, no matter how small or large, is essentially a cocoon and crucible where we humans can forge re-connection
with our ever present silent awareness
as a foundation for peace and sustainability on earth.
THE RECIPROCAL FRAME
The Reciprocal Frame
This is the Reciprocal Frame where
form and formlessness interweave.
Formlessness
An architectural mandala that helps us settle into a state where the content of experience,
and the awareness by which experience is known
are reunited in the architecture of a peaceful mind.
Form
A roof structure that brings
an energetic dynamism
to the possibilities
within architectural design.
Peacebuildings
Inner & outer work
Peacebuildings is a response
to perhaps the greatest challenge
we have ever consciously faced on this planet
If we are to have a world
where peace, truth, justice and sustainability have dominion
we must first unearth those qualities in ourselves
Are we the ones
who are willing to change ourselves
so that life on earth can change for all.
Peacebuildings are epicenters of such change
Out of Nowhere
a play with form
The Reciprocal Frame came Out of Nowhere
It is the name of my commercial studio in honour of its origin.
In the years since 1987 I have designed and made 45 or so Reciprocal Frame buildings.
From small garden offices and meditation sanctuaries
to radical ecological homes and million pound Woodland Burial Park complexes.
I accept commissions to design Reciprocal Frame buildings
and offer consultative constructional assistance.
I offer courses on all aspects of Reciprocal Frame design and construction
Into Nowhere
a play with formlessness
Nowhere is an interesting word,
Comprising Now Here.
We can spend a lifetime seeking,
and never arrive here and now.
So the question is how do we arrive,
when we never left?
If we never left, why does it feel like we have?
How and with what do we make a re-union
Into Nowhere is an exploration into these questions
and finally into Now Here
A Personal Story
