Born in England, Michael, and his late wife Treenie, both grew up in farming families, and continued farming after their marriage in 1958. In 1964 they immigrated to Australia with their two children, farmed in Tasmania, the Island State of  Australia, and had two more children. Driven by a powerful desire for spiritual growth they left Tasmania in 1976 to travel around Australia. This was a time of challenge, inner growth and dynamic change.

 
In 1977 they started an intentional community with a group of like-minded people. It was during this time that Treenie experienced her Awakening. Also during this time, Michael connected with the inner metaphysical expression of Nature, which ultimately led to his Self-Realization in 1986. Michael describes this as "the ever-expanding falling in love with Self." The nine years of intense metaphysical activity leading up to and including his dramatic Awakening are documented in his books Talking with Nature - Journey Into Nature, Journey Into Oneness and Into a Timeless Realm. His more recent books include the award-winning novel Getting There, The Magic Formula, More Than Money - True Prosperity, the Oracle, and his newest book Conscious Gardening.

As a result of their experiences and the popularity of Michael's books, they began conducting retreats and seminars in 1990. Their world tours have included Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Holland, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, United Kingdom, Denmark, West Indies, U.S.A., Canada and Japan.

Since Treenie's transition a new era has begun. Carolyn, a long-time friend who is well known to everyone through the Newsletters, has become his new, beloved wife. He has learned that his inner journey of loss and grief was designed to bring him to a new, deeper experience of Love, and to share this Love with the world. Together with Carolyn, this is now his life's purpose, and his joy. Treenie will continue to be involved on a higher spiritual level.

Michael now travels the world presenting his new 5-day Intensives entitled THE POWER OF LOVE. He has created a process in which each participant can experience the deep and heartfelt Love that is their reality. Many participants have already experienced profound healing experiences through this process. We are Beings of Love, and Love is the supreme healer. Love is the most powerful force in the universe. It is Love that connects all life on Earth . . . and beyond.

When not traveling, Michael and Carolyn live in a beautiful subtropical part of Queensland, Australia, enjoying their home, family, extensive gardens, ponds and goldfish and turtles and lizards and water dragons and . . .!
