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 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, Conscious Gardening, and his newest book, Through the Eyes of Love, Journeying with Pan.

As a result of Michael's experience and the popularity of his books, he began conducting retreats and seminars in 1990. His world tours have included Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, The Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, France, United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, 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 Roadsway 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 seminars and  his new 5-day Intensives on universal Love, attaining higher consciousness, and the meaning of life. He looks for ways to present these Intensives that are new and in the moment, so it is difficult to write of an actual process. Each group has its own dynamic, and it is to this dynamic in consciousness to which Michael responds.

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 . . .!
