Miguel Dean: Sacred Activist, Author, Coach, Speaker, Workshop and Project Facilitator
Bio: From a challenging start to life Miguel spiraled down into a life of violence, addiction and homelessness but the love of his new born son inspired him to take responsibility and make changes.
For the last 20 years he has been immersed in the ‘twin paths’ of healing and transformation which can be summarized as the journey of the wounded healer facilitated and complimented by introspection and his service to others in support of spiritually rooted social change.
Miguel now works at the level of cause and effect. He is passionate about his youth empowerment work as he believes that young people need all the empowering they can get to assist them in what lies ahead at this challenging time in the evolution of humanity. He sees the lack of well-being amongst our young people as the effect of an increasingly dysfunctional society. More recently he has evolved into a profoundly effective catalyst for change, in his local community and for the adults whose lives he touches. This is his work at the causal level: to create a more beautiful world for all of our children to grow up in.
His intuitive- sensitive nature and honest, authentic and open heartedness are amongst the gifts he has to share in his passion to serve and ease the transition, from what no longer serves humanity and the planet, into what is increasingly being known as ‘the more beautiful world that our hearts know is possible’
Miguel’s Talks: Often titled The Journey of the Wounded Healer, the talk begins with sharing his compelling story from abuse as a child to drugs, crime, violence and homelessness as a young adult to the realisation that all the challenges he faced were gifts in unusual packaging. These gifts included opening his heart and equipping him with the motivation, skills and qualities to fulfil his mission on earth in championing the role of Love and empowerment at this critical time in the evolution of humanity. Recent insights on how to return to wholeness including self-acceptance, shadow work, service and courage are shared. Miguel’s intention is always to model vulnerability and self-compassion in his talks and most consistent audience feedback is that people leave feeling inspired and are most touched by his openness, honesty and authenticity.
Testimonial: ‘Miguel had me spellbound from the moment that he stood up to speak and from that instant the silence in the room was palpable. He invited me to step into the shoes of someone I might easily just walk past in the street and from there to travel with him on his journey back to himself. Delivered with clear, articulate language Miguel’s message was uncompromising and sometimes uncomfortable to hear as I became aware of my own responsibility to act for social change but because he spoke from his heart the kindness and compassion filled me with hope and determination to ‘do whatever I can’ to help build a better world for our children and the whole human family. Miguel is an exceptional man, filled with the power and presence of his masculine energy but deeply in touch with his tender and insightful feminine energy as well. His honesty and open vulnerability give his talk the poignancy to move people and forces them to think deeply about their own lives and responses. I recommend him highly as a speaker for any group, he is an inspiration!’
