Go : An Extreme Mind Sport

There are sports, and there are extreme sports. There are mind sports and there are extreme mind sports. Go is an extreme mind sport, but it is also highly creative, using the whole brain and providing a lifetime of challenge to people of all ages and abilities. I promote Go full-time as a freelance consultant, and I am also Education Officer for the British Go Association in a voluntary capacity. I am based in the UK but can travel anywhere at reasonable notice.

I provide workshops and seminars for a very wide range of clients, throughout education, leisure and industry, and tailor each event to the needs of the group. No prior knowledge of the game is required. Go is a very Zen activity- for some it becomes kido- The Way of Go. It is intrinsically therapeutic, and provides a tool for communication and shared insights. A special feature of Go is that it is very easy to handicap, so that an experienced player can enjoy a game with a beginner. In this way Go can break down barriers in a community, fostering mutual respect and understanding.

I am best contacted by email initially as I spend most of my time 'on the road'. I look forward to hearing from you. Workshops usually need to be booked about a month in advance.
