We never reach the limits of our strength.

"It has to be from your 'all' as closely as possible in order to grow. And we all have to grow."
—Martin Benson
Individual Work
Not your everyday spiritual direction. This is more like hiring a personal trainer to work on inner Being-development; to clarify one’s aims and uncover the features of personality that disrupt them; to investigate relationships, job and daily rhythms through self-observation; and to assist in the discovery of a practical presence in life.

Group Work
Andrew facilitates weekly meetings to practise contemplative exercises and bring observations from life, but emphasizes the development of the Feeling Center in a tradition often stymied by its emphasis on theory. We create containers essential to the transformative growth of presence.

Retreat Director
In-person events hosted by Parallel Group are created to explore various themes related to the growth of Being—with daily tasks, contemplative exercises and discussion, as well as practical work, periods of rest, morning silences, chanting, toasting and bonfiring. We emphasize work with young people, Men’s Work, and the occasional Family Camp.

Translation
Andrew's side project is an ongoing translation of the New Testament from Koiné Greek.​
