Book signing
There is only One Journey. We commence it the moment we enter the physical world and complete it the moment we leave. Our journey is travelled on a road of self-discovery. During that Journey, we may take many trips, make many voyages. Here are four, undertaken by Michael Forester over a period of fourteen years:
In the Amazon Rain Forest, a confrontation with the unceasing exploitation of its resources and people.
In South Africa, an encounter with the power of forgiveness, fifteen years after the ending of apartheid.
In Nepal and the Himalayas, a pilgrimage of self discovery.
In the Philippines, an exploration the impact of economic modernisation upon the people and the land.
Each explores how, if we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, our voyages into the world are, in reality, a reflection of our Journey into ourselves.
Michael Forester lives between the southern edge of the New Forest and the sea, with his hearing dog, Matt. He is a full time author and inspirational public speaker. Michael’s own journey has taken him from early years in charismatic Christianity into middle years in management consultancy, management training and Neuro Linguistic Programming. It has taken him from normal hearing to near-profound deafness and, in 2004, the life-changing arrival of a hearing dog, Matt. It has taken him through a miraculously survived suicide attempt in 2002, into a spiritual awakening.
During his journey, Michael has written and released nine books. They address subjects as diverse as business strategy and marketing (now out of print), his life with his beloved hearing dog, Matt (If It Wasn’t For That Dog); an epic fantasy in rhyming verse (Dragonsong); a short story collection (The Goblin Child and other stories) Spiritual Learnings for a New Age (Forest Rain), a novella inspired by encounters with the devastating power of bureaucracy in our lives (A Home For Other Gods); a novel of Punk Rock and the Second Coming (Vicious) and, most recently, One Journey: a Travelogue of Awakening.
All Michael’s books are available at his website www.michaelforester.co.uk
