Steve Tanham is one of three directors of the Silent Eye School of Consciousness; a place of companionship, sharing and the search for the real in life, using the loving techniques and insights of esoteric psychology. He retired from a life as an IT entrepreneur to establish the School in 2012, and, having persuaded Sue Vincent to join him, the two spent the next year laying the groundwork for the three year correspondence course provided as a not-for-profit venture. Stuart France, who had worked alongside Steve for many years, joined them shortly thereafter.

Head over and explore Steve’s archives and as I am in the process of learning the art of Haiku at the moment I chose this…..
