Hi, I’m Martin
For more than twenty-five years I've explored one question:
How do people change?
That question first led me into the world of elite sport, where I worked with athletes across more than thirty different sports, helping people perform under pressure when everything was on the line.
Over time my work widened beyond performance into something more fundamental.
Not simply how we perform.
But how we imagine.
How we perceive.
How we find courage, wisdom and hope when life becomes uncertain.
That search eventually led to the creation of the Living Lights and, from there, to the Imaginal Cities.
Today I guide contemplative imagery gatherings in which people don't simply think about qualities like Hope, Wisdom or Kindness.
Together, we enter them.
Each gathering becomes a living place, shaped by everyone's imagination, attention and presence.
No two Cities are ever the same.
My Approach
My role is not to tell you what to see.
It is to create the conditions in which the City can reveal itself.
I'll guide the journey, hold the space and gently lead us home again.
You don't need any previous experience.
Only curiosity.

I Believe
I believe that hope is not something we wait for.
It is something we learn to carry.
If these gatherings help even one person become a steadier source of hope for the people around them, then they have done their work.
