From the Harbour to the Sea
Discovering the purpose of your life
With Hamish Mackay-Lewis
Do you find yourself torn between work that gives you security and work that feeds your Soul?
Do you ever wonder, ‘is this really it?!’ ‘I know I’m meant for more than this.’
The game of success and security building can only take us so far. Likewise, switching jobs or launching into a new project, course, or role, even ones that feel deeply vocational, will never be enough, on their own, to make a truly fulfilling life.
I believe, that unless we are living in a way that deepens our relationship with not only ourselves and other humans, but also with the Earth, no practice, role or job will ever feel quite enough.
Soul purpose is not chosen by us or even given to us by others; it is revealed to us.
It is a way of being in the world, more than it is what we ‘do’.
I offer guidance on a mature, grounded and joyful approach to following the pull of your Soul’s calling, so you don’t die with the regret of a life unlived.
In This 60-Minute Workshop, You Will:
Hear my story about how I moved from living a life that I was ‘supposed’ to want, to one I actually wanted.
Explore the difference between default purpose, created purpose, and soul purpose.
Learn that soul purpose is much more than what you do, it’s being who you are.
Map yourself against the harbour and the sea metaphor.
Reflect on some questions to deepen your understanding of who and where you are and what might be next for you.
Experience a visualisation and practise to connect with your truest, wisest and most compassionate self.
Whether you are already at sea or in the harbour, my wish is for you to leave this workshop feeling more curious and inspired about your unique path and with an understanding of purpose as a lived experience inseparable from who you are.
Soul purpose discovery is a lifelong and joyful adventure, in which everything has meaning, even, and especially, our failures.
The journey continues, not in charting a new course, but in daring to enter deeper waters.
You will have the opportunity to ask me anything about my purpose discovery course - From The Harbour to the Sea - that I am running, Jan-Jun 2026.

“I came away from Hamish’s session last week lifted & encouraged that I could finally get to the heart of purpose for myself both personally but also professionally. His coaching style is so open & comfortable. I totally trust his process & know I would benefit from joining ‘From the harbour to the sea’”
“Thank you for the workshop - it was brilliant. I came away feeling full of calm, with more clarity and tools for thinking.”
“This process and Hamish’s guidance has taken me from a wreck to a force of nature in only 4 months of intense work.
What I found was someone with boundless knowledge, skills, outlook and practical strategies for growth and self development. But what really allowed me to heal was his warmth, compassion and genuine care for me and my being, in each and every session.
We worked at a depth that I have barely even experienced in my therapeutic practice, both in training and as a client. His approach to ‘the work’ was phenomenal, weaving and moulding his skillset to my arising needs. There was seemingly nothing he couldn’t handle and bring his gift to bear on. As a young man in need of a mentor, a model and now a kindred spirit, I could look for many years and not find someone as gifted as Hamish. Truly, I am not the same person anymore and far far richer for it.”
Hamish is a purpose and wilderness guide who helps people find belonging both in themselves and in the natural world. His approach draws on ancient and indigenous wisdom, embodiment practices, and contemporary psychology to support people in being radically honest with themselves and following what feels most alive.
His own journey — from serving in the British Armed Forces to guiding others into nature and purpose — has given him a deep understanding of what it means to feel torn between the life that feels secure and the one that’s quietly calling you to be more fully yourself.
