Hi, I'm fundraising to support my trip to Castione della Preso, Italy on April 23rd to work and perform with Robert Fripp ( King Crimson, David Bowie, Brian Eno ) and The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists . We’ll be living and working together for 7 days and perform publicly in Parish S Alexander

In 2022 I crowdfunded my travel to the Mansion at Glen Cove, New York to participate in an Introduction to the Guitar Circle with Robert Fripp.

This was an absolutely life changing experience and I left feeling like a completely new person to the one who had arrived. I left more empowered, more equipped and more available.

I’m ready to go again, and this time the wave feels immense.

Conflict lives and thrives in 2025. Discord disrupts all layers of our human experience. From the top down in so-called governance and the deranged political sphere. In the space between you and I - ‘social’ media, cancel culture, non non-violent communication and the antiquated story of separation. Even within our own field of beingness, in disease and mental health, intergenerational trauma, and autoimmune attacks on self worth, purpose and agency.

I must engage. Yet despite my best effort, there is no escape from the struggle and attempts to way find through correlate with a deepening descent into mayhem, futility and despair.

“In these strange and uncertain times, a reasonable person might despair. But Hope is unreasonable; and where there is Music, there is Hope. “ - R Fripp

So, quite unreasonably, I’m travelling from VIC Australia to the other side of the world to commune and work with this international family of Crafty Guitarists. My hope is to establish a space of Harmony, to protect and to maintain this space.

"Nothing is compulsory, but some things are necessary ".

“If success were inevitable, how would you change your approach” ?

My approach is to lead towards the inevitable and impending surge of Harmony, community and connection.

Towards Alignment, Balance and Equality .

Towards Coherence and Healing. Becoming Whole within myself, within my environment .

Towards Beauty - bringing parts together in right relations to form a connective fabric of beingness.

Towards Truth - that’s a spicy one. What is mine to receive, what is mine to give.

Towards beingness within a Cosmos that is not simply and scientifically random particles crashing about devoid of any meaning, but one which is inherently ordered, harmonious, expansive, abundant, latent with conspiracy (breathing together) and enriched by the quality of our presence, attention and intention.

Towards Harmony. While I feel a deep irrefutable surge towards Harmony, I can not achieve this on my own.

I know that support arrives in many many forms. If you’ve read this far I want to acknowledge with immense gratitude you’ve already contributed a LOT towards this mission. My request is that you might continue to hold my vision and journey to Italy in your field of beingness. Come along for the ride, so to speak. If you can contribute money, that’s helpful too. Tick tock, the cuckoo clock. LET’S GO!
