Wholeness is about awakening to the depths of who you truly be, to integrate and heal the wounds that have shaped your life story.
It is about remembering, accepting, and embodying all that you already are in a more conscious way. If you are here, it’s probably because something in you knows there is more to who you are, more to life than the patterns you’ve been living, and more to your story than what has already been experienced. You may feel the pull towards healing, self-understanding, and a deeper alignment with your true self, but you also may feel uncertain about where to begin or how to move forward. That is where mentoring comes in.
Latest book: Wounded Self Wounded World: Seeking Wholeness When Worlds Collide
Wholeness is the inner potential within our broken inner and outer worlds.
In his book, Wounded Self Wounded World: Seeking Wholeness When Worlds Collide, Sydney-based writer, Peter R White PhD explores the transformational idea of wholeness as a way of healing our increasingly fractured inner and outer worlds.
Peter shares the personal experiences, insights, and wisdom of his three-year inquiry into wholeness that helped him understand and heal his own sense of brokenness as well as better cope with the psychological effects of living in a wounded world.
We are witnessing civilisational breakdown as indicated by increasing mental illness, political instability, social inequity and ecological catastrophes, as well as brutal conflicts in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere. There is a global tsunami of dark psychological states, indiviudally and collectively, such as anxiety, grief, fear, anger, depression, instability, lack of security and powerlessness. This is further fracturing our world as well as confounding any potential for experiencing wholeness, genuine hope, and alignment to a greater life purpose and meaning.
Through the lens of the ancient but forgotten idea of wholeness, Peter offers a powerful approach for developing the inner peace, stability, and wholeness to flourish. The fundamental message from this book is that each of us, being potentially whole, is able to heal our own woundedness, to live more consciously with deeper meaning and purpose, and contribute to the healing of our world.
Excerpt
“Healing begins when we make conscious our inner divisions, when we shine light into the dark inner states and seek to explore what wholeness of mind, self, and thinking might feel like. As I gradually recognised along my journey, we cannot be truly whole in the psychological sense if we are driven by unconscious forces that trigger responses that maintain our regression, our defences, our stuckness in the pain and divisions of our past. This book is a testament to this awakening.”
Connectedness is why we are here, it gives us purpose and meaning. But we must learn to pay attention if we are to wake up to our deepest potential. The richness of our connection is dependent on the quality of our awareness, our attention and attitude towards life.

Living in discombobulating times
I’ve only recently come to recognise the reason behind my feelings of discombobulation (meaning disoriented and befuddled) in observing the dire state of the world. It’s a persistent, uncomfortable feeling that I think many, many people experience. This blog is my...
Presencing the Self at the frontier of your identity
One of the wonderful aspects of becoming immersed in nature, whether that is a more conscious activity such as a NatureConnect session or simply a wander through a forest or along a beach, is its capacity to welcome you into the freedom to be, a quiet fascination of...

Our broken wholeness: making sense of individual and systemic brutality – Part 2
In this stage of increasing global disruptions there is little certainty of where this transition stage is leading us or how catastrophically it will unfold. It is all too easy to become overwhelmed by doubt, despair and dread of a future we are creating. In becoming...
