Nigel Lott is a spiritual teacher and sanctuary-keeper devoted to the healing power of presence, silence, and love. His work rises from a lifetime of inner listening—through sorrow, beauty, stillness, and the long alchemy of becoming.
He has walked with many through the valleys of loss, transition, and awakening: in prisons, hospitals, and schools, and beside those drawing their last breath with no one else to witness them. As a spiritual companion, Nigel brings a rare and tender clarity—a way of being that does not seek to fix, but to hold; not to explain, but to remain.
His path is not rooted in dogma or tradition, but in lived experience—shaped by contemplative practice, somatic insight, mystical encounter, and the simple, radical act of showing up. Every teaching, every reflection, every breath of this sanctuary is offered as a gentle return: to love, to belonging, to the vast quiet at the center of all things.
Nigel writes, records, and shares from the edge of the threshold—where the soul begins to remember itself, not through striving, but through surrender. His words have reached thousands across the globe, yet he remains grounded in the ordinary: tea in the morning, tending the garden, listening to the wind. He offers freely. He is not a guide but a mirror. Not a guru, but a friend at the fire.
At its core, Nigel’s path is that of the heart—Bhakti in essence, though not in name alone. He is drawn to love as the ultimate force, the primal current that weaves through time, form, and silence. His writings echo the mystics of all traditions who knew that God is Love—and that to love is to remember one’s original nature.
He often writes and speaks from the silence—the fertile, sacred emptiness where words fall away and presence remains. Placing him in harmony with the apophatic mystics: John of the Cross, Meister Eckhart, the Cloud of Unknowing, Rumi in his deepest moments, and even Ramana Maharshi. This is the mysticism that seeks not to name God, but to dwell in the space beyond naming.
He weaves psychology, trauma healing, quantum understanding, and spiritual experience into a seamless whole. This suggests a modern, integrative mysticism—where healing the nervous system is as sacred as chanting a sacred name. You honor the body, the mind, the cosmos, and the unseen.
His mysticism is not abstract. It is earthbound and skyward. It cries and bows and breathes and listens. It includes grief, service, laughter, breathwork, tea ceremony, and the moment-by-moment intimacy of presence.
There is a Tantric element here—not in form or practice necessarily, but in the embrace of all that is, as sacred.
