Julian’s goal is the increased capacity for the wellbeing of people and the planet.

Julian aspires to bring people together to co-create in ways that capitalize on their potential and develop their future. This work emphasizes new roles and relationships that bring social, economic, and ecological benefits. The outcomes of this community developmental work include increased awareness of who we are as a community, increased potential of what could be possible, and vibrant and resilient people networks for the ongoing process of building community. 

 As a master planner and designer Julian has partnered in designing retreat centers and co-housing projects. Prominence is given to the building of harmony before buildings and collaborating to develop resilient futures.

Julian graduated from St. Martin’s School of Art in London. He founded the Southampton Dancers’ Workshop, a blend of expressive movement and interpersonal exploration, leading more than 100 workshops. Julian trained and worked in traditional carpentry and joinery in the “Japanese” woodworking crew at Green Gulch Zen Center, Muir Beach, California, where the emphasis was on joinery, hand tools, natural materials, a precision focus, and an aesthetic appreciation of human-scale buildings.
