Others
This is the site of what is probably the UK’s leading forum for presentation of alternative ideas of spirituality, from relatively mainstream to very colourful!
This is the site of the dojo where I have studied aikido for many years. Obviously I'm a fan, but I can't recommend aikido highly enough. The chief instructor is Andy Hathaway.
This is the site of a new venture supporting people learning and teaching Taichi and Qigong, run by a friend of mine. If you are looking for a mindfulness practice and don't like sitting, these are great arts to learn.
This is the site of my publisher, Findhorn Press
