Man Behind The Monkey:
My Path Back To Body
I’m Shaun.
For years I lived from the neck up, numbing myself to feeling. I was proud of my armour: flaunting risk, my lack of limits…
Through poetry, I learnt the patient art of grounding the senses. In meditation, I sat in the sharp pain of the present and surrendered. Dancing barefoot around wood-fires, I became fluent in the language of skin, awakening to the quiet joys of touch. Researching living systems, I listened to the limits of other beings and slowly learned to honour my own.
What started as personal healing evolved into a calling: holding spaces where others could reclaim their pleasure-wisdom for a more wild and embodied world.
My path back to authentic living began when I couldn't even touch my toes. It’s never too late to create the vibrant life you long for.
