About this BLOG

This BLOG is ded­i­cated to sim­ple, Zen-based liv­ing and relat­ing. I write as both a psy­chother­a­pist and an end­lessly begin­ning Zen stu­dent. My goal is to pro­vide enter­tain­ing, help­ful, and thought pro­vok­ing arti­cles about liv­ing with focus, intent, and passion.

• If your life seems com­pli­cated, messy, and you crave depth, mean­ing and focus, this BLOG is for you.
• If you want tools to live in the present moment, while learn­ing how to make your rela­tion­ships soar, this BLOG is for you.

Past arti­cles are avail­able through the BLOG archive, above, in the menu bar. You’ll also find links to impor­tant arci­cles as you scroll down the left col­umn. Some links lead to our main web­site, some are avail­able as pdf down­loads, and, always, there’s a link back to this BLOG.

A Lit­tle History

Back in 1999, I started writ­ing a weekly e-zine called “Into the Cen­tre.”

In 2006, I began blog­ging, and in 2007, changed from an e-zine for­mat to this blog. The Phoenix Cen­tre Blog appears weekly, either Mon­day or Tues­day, and will expand to 2x per week in 2008.

About me

Wayne’s CV (Cur­ricu­lum Vitae)

Wayne’s PR Site—Public Speak­ing, Workshops

I’m a Psy­chother­a­pist, and I’ve been in Pri­vate Prac­tice in Ontario, Canada since 1982. I’m the author of sev­eral highly regarded books, and am an end­less stu­dent of life and ele­gant living.

As a ther­a­pist, I teach my clients to be self-responsible. I am an expert in cre­ative think­ing and clear focus, and demon­strate, in word and deed, what it means to direct focused atten­tion at life’s chal­lenges and over­come them joy­fully and with great elegance.

I have worked with exec­u­tives from orga­ni­za­tions large and small, help­ing them to become more effec­tive by shar­ing respon­si­bil­ity with oth­ers and by moti­vat­ing oth­ers to work with them to build a brighter future.

About The Phoenix Centre

The Phoenix Cen­tre is a coun­selling cen­tre I estab­lished, in Ontario, Canada, in 1982, and my goal is sim­ple — I teach you to be whole!

I teach empow­er­ment, self-responsibility, and sim­ple pres­ence. With these tools, my clients build mean­ing­ful lives, excel­lent rela­tion­ships, and healthy bod­ies, minds and spirits.

The best way to get a feel­ing for what I offer is to explore our site. I know you’ve come here for resources for self-knowing, and for cre­at­ing healthy rela­tion­ships, for reduc­ing stress, and for learn­ing to live mindfully.

Below are links to to resources for each of these four top­ics. I’ve also included a link to our Body­work sec­tion, as many vis­i­tors are inter­ested in Body/Mind/Spirit inte­gra­tion, energy work, and improv­ing their sex­ual response.
