	Hazel Marshall I've been running a Transpersonal centre in Leicestershire since 1989, putting on weekend workshops and (four times, with gaps between) a two-year experiential course. People come in small but steady numbers, not for any kind of qualification but for the experience of doing the work and meeting each other. A private practice in counselling and therapy since 1980, has also run steadily on. I've been lucky enough to become archivist for the work of  Transpersonal pioneers Ian Gordon-Brown and Barbara Somers. Two books have already been published: 'Journey in Depth', a verbatim account of their training courses; and 'The Fires of Alchemy', Barbara's unique take on that fascinating subject. The third, 'The Raincloud of Knowable Things', should be available in 2008 from Archive Publishing. As for me, I like gardening, playing the piano, reading, cycling, very amateur astronomy – I've recently acquired my own telescope.

He offers creative facilitation in a wide variety of contexts: including the interface between art and psychotherapy; between existential and psychoanalytic approaches in psychotherapy; a non-medical approach to psychosis; supervision; conflict resolution; and the use of the internet in group therapy and group process.  I try to bring jest and humour to serious matters without dismissing their seriousness.         Website: http://hewardwilkinson.co.uk
