Stan's passion is human potential. His work is to help you uncover the truth of who you really are - to know your own beauty and the Divine Light within yourself. He is a Truth-seeker, a healer, a yogi, a father and grandfather, a teacher and a student. He is immensely grateful to his many teachers for sharing their gifts. Ultimately he learned that Truth, Love and Joy are already within each of us - we just need a little help to find them.
Stan now lives in Cornwall, UK, with his partner, Jane, but continues to teach in Europe and America.
