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. Hi, my name is Peter White, Ive been on this planet for over 60 years and on my conscious wholeness journey for over 5 years. I am now offering myself as a mentor.
My journey to becoming consciously whole began when I committed to dealing with my limiting patterns and life contexts through the guiding framework of wholeness. A major challenge of my journey was doing it alone. Without a mentor, counsellor or companion, progress was slow, filled with lonely self-doubt, not being able to share the revelations and pain.
If I could offer one piece of guidance, it would be this: don’t walk alone if you don’t have to. Seek someone who can witness you, support you through resistance, and offer perspective and guidance based on their own wholeness journey. Please read a brief summary of my wholeness journey to see if it might align with your needs.
A scene from the Blue Mountains where I led NatureConnect walks and immersed myself to experience solitude and connection. Deep connectedness and surrendering our worn beliefs about who we are has strong and enduring therapeutic effects on our mind, heart and body.
Contemplative forays into natural spaces is to experience the wholeness of reality and one self. It doesn’t need to be wild nature, just a natural space that feels like a sanctuary in which you may surrender safely to all that you be. My NatureConnect Program can help you to experience this.
Latest book: Wounded Self Wounded World: Seeking Wholeness When Worlds Collide
Wholeness is the inner potential within our broken inner and outer worlds.
In my book, Wounded Self Wounded World: Seeking Wholeness When Worlds Collide, I write about my story of discovering and learning about the transformational idea of wholeness.
I share my experiences, insights, and wisdom developed during the initial stages of my inquiry into wholeness. This investigation, structured by writing this book, helped me recognise, and begin to embrace and heal, my brokenness as well as better cope with the psychological effects of living in a wounded world.
We are witnessing increasingly civilisational vulnerability as indicated by increasingly inter-dependent economic, free-market systems, increasing instability of climate-related systems with increasing intensity and frequency of ‘natural’ disasters, increasing mental illness and suicide ideation and rates, 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, individually and collectively, such as anxiety, grief, fear, anger, depression, instability, lack of security and powerlessness. Becoming oppressed and shaped by these states undermines our mental wellbeing, and further divorces us from experiencing wholeness and higher life meaning.
Through the lens of the ancient idea of wholeness, I offer a powerful guiding framework for dealing with our inner and outer divisiveness and woundedness. Wholeness is essentially about awakening to what has been unconscious, realising your true nature and integrating all your parts into a sense of wholeness. The fundamental message from this book is that we are 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.
Peter White, NatureConnect Programs, 2019NatureConnect Program
I began taking individuals and groups into natural spaces in 2010 after I completed my PhD in the field of ecopsychology. I facilitated these connection sessions in Sydney and the Blue Mountains between 2010 and 2020. I now offer guided walks in Sydney’s natural spaces on demand for the purpose of helping clients defrag and connect into nature’s and their own wholeness.
Whether you long for tapping into your inner stillness, experience deep connectedness or allow inner healing to occur, spending regular time in nature with a clear intention for connecting and surrendering will lead to these desired outcomes. I have helped hundreds of people to connect with natural places and experience the healing presence of nature.
Messages from Spirit
A significant process of learning about wholeness, intellectually and personally, arose from my dialoguing with spirit friends. At the beginning of my wholeness journey in early 2020, I taught myself to open up to spoken messages from spirit. Over five years on, I am receiving daily messages both personal and abstract, such as the nature of reality, wholeness, self & identity, the afterlife, consciousness and dozens of other subjects.

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...
