I'm here to help you become more aware of who you really are. To help you follow the pointers to your own innate wisdom, so that you can stop falling into the drama, collapsing or hardening up. And so you can experience your own peace and capacity arising from your own insights.
This what I call bringing good company to the journey home.
This is for people who want to wake up and experience listening to themselves and finding their inherent value.
This is for people who want more than a therapist
who can help "fix a problem" - it's for people who need a compassionate and wise guide and are ready for the deeper meaning and insights available in understanding themselves.
Sheetal is passionate about helping men understand that where they are now is a gift, not a curse.
For people who want help to reflect on their patterns and sense of who they are
In the company of a good friend.
Sheetal is an elder on the path of self transformation and brings a long history of experience as a meditator, therapist and business man.
He was born as Stuart Patterson in 1947 and was given the name Swami Anand Sheetal in 1978 by the enlightened master Osho (Sri Rajneesh).
Sheetal lived through the consciousness expansion of the 60s, 70s and 80s. He lived on communes over 2 decades, and in his first commune had a life changing satori which led him on a quest to understand what it is that lives us.
He immersed in 100s of psychotherapy, spirituality and encounter groups to understand the confusion of his early life upbringing and find his inner, real home. He followed Osho and other significant teachers and experienced bowing down to something greater than the identity and the attachments that create suffering.
For the last 17 years he has been involved in the Path of Love as
a core team member. He undertook the Working with People training with Rafia and Turiya to deepen his personal journey and capacity as a therapist. Meditation and self inquiry continues to be a foundational part of his life, including the last 12 years in the Diamond Approach.

Behind the activities that fill my time is meditation and through meditation I have come to value Patience.
Patience with self, patience with life and others.
To calm and Be with what is here and now is my adventure.
It holds my interest and turns me on.
In an awakened way, this here and now-ness opens into Presence.
This Presence becomes the ground of my value, or I should say, the sense that life welcomes and supports my presence which in turn supports my sense of integrated value.
What I have learned over time is when these moments are shared with the life I am present to, it expands the field of presence in a potent way.
It supports trust and acceptance immensely. Trust and acceptance of self, life and others I am in contact with.
