Biography

Michael J. Roads [3] born in April 14, 1937 is a farmer's son from Cambridge. Michael and his late wife Treenie both grew up in farming families and continued farming after their marriage in 1958. Michael discovered at an early age he had the natural ability to communicate with nature and go beyond linear time and space. In 1963 Michael and Treenie and their two children immigrated to Australia. They had a beef and dairy farm in Tasmania, the Island State of Australia. In tasmania they had two more children. As a farmer Michael was a pioneer in organic farming. He wrote his best selling book: Organic Gardening in Australia[4]

Driven by a powerful desire for spiritual growth the Roads family left Tasmania in 1976 to travel around Australia. This was a time of challenge, inner growth and dynamic change. In 1977 Michael started an intentional community Homeland[5] with a group of like-minded people. It was during this time that Michael connected with the inner metaphysical expression of Nature.

Michael experienced in 1986 a profound transformation of consciousness. He shifted into an ever-expanding state of Self-Realisation. In Michael's words: "the ever-expanding falling in love with Self." Being spiritually awakened, he changed from farming in Australia to writing spiritual books and traveling over five continents as a spiritual teacher. The nine years of intense metaphysical activity leading up to and including his dramatic Awakening are documented in his books. As a result of Michael's experience and the popularity of his books, he began conducting retreats and seminars in 1990. His world tours have included more then 20 countries on 3 continents [2].

Since Treenie's transition a new period in his life started. Carolyn became his beloved wife. He has learned that his inner journey of loss and grief was designed to bring him to a new, deeper experience of Love. He has to share this Love with the world. For over twenty years Michael has been travelling the world presenting seminars and five-day Intensives on Universal Love, attaining higher consciousness and the meaning of life. He is a gifted communicator with a great sense of humour and teaches from his own experiences and direct knowing.

Michael's energy opens doors that a multitude of concepts could not achieve. Because universal love and attaining higher consciousness can only be truly shared and expressed by someone living in that enlightened state. Truth heart to heart goes far beyond the reach of words.

Michael and Carolyn live in the Sunshine Coast, a beautiful subtropical part of Queensland, Australia.
