Meet Vern

Vern is a non-duality speaker and guide based in Essex. He hosts 1:1 conversations, online group calls, community sound journeys, ceremonies and retreats.

What Vern offers

• Non-dual inquiry: relaxed conversations exploring awareness and the sense of a separate self.
• Pointing and inquiry: gentle questions that invite you to look at long-held beliefs for yourself.
• Sound and ceremony: voice, guitar, handpan, crystal bowls and flutes, used to create a calm, reflective space.
• Breath and body awareness: simple, gentle practices for slowing down.
• Spiritual and life coaching: reflective conversations about meaning, choices and everyday life.

How Vern works

Sessions are unhurried and shaped around you. Most take place on Zoom; in-person sessions can be arranged. Vern's approach draws on non-dual philosophy, the shamanic traditions he has studied (training monthly with a shaman in the Dutch forest from 2022 to 2025), and his love of music.

Vern's journey

Previously, Vern was a Director and Practitioner at Dragonfly Wellness (UK), where he supported breathwork, retreats and shamanic practices. He has been married to Sara for 25 years, is a proud father of three, an IT enthusiast and a keen athlete.
