John, married to Margaret, has six wonderful children (one of whom has passed) and eight grandchildren. A chartered accountant by trade, he has also been deeply involved in music through radio and seminars. His early passion for music led him to explore its deep connection to spirituality, a subject often overlooked. Currently a music student and cellist, John studies under a renowned teacher who has also presented at the Centre. In addition to music, John practices meditation and has taught Tai Chi and Qi Gong for many years, continuing to integrate these practices into his daily routine. He values the opportunities to share his knowledge and learn from others in his work.
