Peter Mitchell
Peter has walked an unconventional path, weaving together diverse roles—optometrist, artist and life model, Santa Claus, and a spiritual seeker—into an illuminating journey of awakening beyond identity. A chance encounter with Ganesh in 1993 at a liminal moment of his life, ignited a deep longing that led him through transformative highs and intense trials, including time with a controversial guru. Each experience, whether in stillness or struggle, stripped away another layer of the non-essential, revealing the deeper thread of presence running through it all. Now, through his blog ‘Facets of the Diamond’ and his engagement with an emergent field of shared awakening, he explores the meeting point of personal autonomy and collective transformation, inviting others into the unfolding mystery of presence.
