Do you feel 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, simply 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.
What we need more than direction, is depth.
Unless we are living in a way that deepens our relationship with not only ourselves and other humans, but also with the living Earth and the moment we are in, no achievement, role or job will ever feel quite enough.
I’m Hamish,
I guide men and women at mid-life and over through a journey of discovering their Soul purpose. My work helps them find belonging both in themselves and in the natural world.
I believe that land and people are medicine for each other, and that wisdom is found in the immediacy of our lived experience.
My journey — from serving with the British Armed Forces to guiding others into nature and purpose — has given me a deep understanding of what it’s like to feel torn between the career you think you should want and the life that’s quietly calling you to be more fully yourself. Sometimes that life is hard to see, and the courage to choose it can feel just out of reach.
With an approach that draws on ancient and indigenous wisdom, embodiment practices, and contemporary psychology, I offer guidance on a mature, grounded, and joyful approach to following the pull of your Soul’s calling — to live a life that feels adventurous and alive.
I live in Somerset and seek out wilderness whenever I can . I love nothing more than witnessing the moment someone rediscovers their own wildness.
There comes a time when prioritising being accepted over being authentic no longer makes sense to us. But now we don't know which way to turn.
We desperately want to ‘see’ our path ahead. But really, we just need to see ourselves.
We are our path. We always have been.
It's not found in the world ‘out there’.
It can’t be created, nor chosen; it can only be followed.
Soul purpose is a revelation, over and over again…
It is a way of being in the world, more than it is what we ‘do’ and it is lived in all areas of our life.
We need to learn to trust ourselves and when we step out, it begins to speak to us more clearly.
Discovering and living your Soul’s purpose is an exciting and extraordinary lifelong adventure and it’s the work I love to guide.
“In the end the only safety, in this increasingly uncertain world, comes from being willing to risk becoming ourselves more fully.”
I see this adventure through the lens of this metaphor - The Harbour to the Sea - which I explore in more detail in my Philosophy Page .
“My heartfelt thanks to Hamish for guiding me with his immense open heartedness, deep rooted wisdom and unfailing compassion.
For anyone who feels that their future path is unclear or there are more exciting chapters to be written in their story – this journey is for you.”
“Hamish is one of the rare coaches who is driven deeply by a voracious desire to learn, expand, and know himself and others better.... He models a beautiful style of leadership that is honest, authentic, and vulnerable, and it’s unbelievably refreshing to witness and experience.”
“Hamish is a true guide, I found it easy to be open with him. He has a loving and nonjudgmental presence and truly witnesses others. I would recommend this work for anyone longing for a connection with their Soul.””
“Working with Hamish feels like throwing open the windows and letting lots of fresh air and light in! He works his magic through connection and humanity and a quiet wisdom born of a real interconnectedness with the natural world and an eye on the distant horizon. It’s transformative!”
