After teaching at leading UK drama schools, I took a leap of faith - re-entering education after 12 years to become both teacher and student at “of the Guildhall” (as my Nana calls it, where her favourite pianist Peter Skellern studied).
My relationship with education has been fractured. Year 7 me collected the “Most Improved” trophy in front of the whole school - mortifying. A narrative I interpreted as “you’re not clever enough!’
Year 7 me is incredibly proud to have completed their Post Graduate Certificate (HE) in Performance Teaching along with being awarded Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
Thank you to Diane Alison-Mitchell for your unwavering belief. To the teaching staff for embracing my madness. To @maria_lovelady_coaching aka Queen of Motivation, for dragging me across the finish line.
To my colleagues in the education sector, the autonomy, support and respect you’ve shown has blown me away.
Special mention to @mimikuodeemer whose philosophy guides the shaping of my values and principles that so deeply inform my ethos.
To my cohort - congrats! Sorry to miss graduation, but it’s for an exciting reason I can’t wait to share 😊
Finally, I received some unexpected student feedback that resonated and filled my heart with gratitude. Sharing this to encourage curiosity in the face of uncertainty and vulnerability.

Embark on a transformative journey through the Five Elements in this unique masterclass series that weaves the ancient wisdom of Qigong with the dynamic practice of Vinyasa Flow. Each one-hour session aligns with seasonal transitions, creating a mindful exploration of nature’s deficient and excessive rhythms within your own body. Through somatic enquiry, discover how to bring these rhythms into harmonious balance.
These masterclasses with Conor can be attended all together but don’t worry if you don’t make them all! Even one class with him will give you an exceptional experience!
The series follows the natural cycle of elements and seasons:
Winter & Water Element: February 16, 2025
Spring & Wood Element: April 13, 2025
Summer & Fire Element: July 27, 2025
Late Summer & Earth Element: September 7, 2025

Never would I have described myself as a spiritual man. Not this working-class northern lad!
Yet there I was, forced to face Saturn’s return flipping my life upside down.
Not one for the socials anyway, over the last couple of years I’ve found myself practically radio silent. Quietly jumping into the fear of uncertainty, instability, and inconsistency.
2024, for me, really has been the year of Gratitude.
You all know who you are and what parts you’ve played. To each and every one of you, I am grateful to have you in my life.
To my friends and family, for your unwavering support, I love you deeply.
To my colleagues, collaborators, mentors and advocates, for your wisdom & belief, I will be forever indebted.
Lastly, to my students. Past, present and future. Holding space for you, even in the most difficult moments, has been one of the greatest privileges I’ve been lucky enough to experience. Indirectly you’ve urged me forward. Given me hope. Motivated me beyond belief by reigniting purpose. For your effort and dedication, thank you, thank you, thank you. You make me beam with pride.
With you all in my corner, this camera shy lad, is sharing a small selection of photos from 2024 where he began to recognise himself.
Sending positive vibes your way for a wonderful 2025, whilst gently encouraging you to be grateful that growth lasts a lifetime.
Take Care,
Conor x
