I’m a huge fan of Graham’s work. In a world full of superficial, self-help phonies, Graham’s teachings are truly refreshing. Not only does Graham possess a deep understanding of the human psyche on a scientific and a spiritual level, he also practices what he teaches. Graham is the real deal.

Over the years I have been on a number of courses and retreats that Graham has run. He has an awesome presence and has the ability to tune into the energy in the room and impart deep wisdom that speaks directly to your soul.

From my experience, The InnerSense 9 Week Programme has been his best work yet. The consistent application of his teachings over an extended period has created a significant positive shift in my life. So much so, that I have done the programme twice and will probably do it many more times in the future.

If you want to experience real change in your life and you are prepared to do the work and confront some hard truths about yourself, I would highly recommend The InnerSense 9 Week Programme.

My deepest thanks to Graham for his wisdom and skills that have guided me in a journey of self-discovery that’s been life changing. I’ve learned to dig deep when adversity strikes and find beauty and understanding when these were elusive. Exploring challenging situations for the insights, even delights, in store is something I would not have considered possible to the extent that I now do, until I began working with Graham. Through his encouragement, I have been developing the confidence and patience to become more aware of my InnerSense, and the effort is transformative. This singularly rewarding experience has greatly benefited my personal life and professional practice. Thank you Graham!

Graham is the person who gently walked me through that door, in my moment of crisis. From the only known form world to the powerful wisdom space of stillness; beyond thought, society constructs, beliefs...

He is the person who gently, without wavering, without bargaining, continues to be my source of guidance; as the levels deepen, build; in this inner world of the unknown. Constantly showing me what I already bring. Holding the bridge between knowing and experiencing; inner self, energy and outer form, stillness and action. Stepping to move ever closer to alignment; seeing, feeling, trusting, expressing truth.

In this raw, honest, held work that InnerSense brings, my experience of whole life has changed and continues to awaken in this dynamic. With his pure gift of balancing his wisdom beyond time, learned knowledge, and presence; untangling mental forms and throwing light on What Is. I am grateful beyond words that his work has been reachable to me and excited that these gifts can be accessible to those who choose to open this door and walk through.

Working with Graham has been one of the most transformational experiences of my life.

Through my work with him, I have been able to learn how to move through every life experience with more ease, presence and awareness. I have learnt to truly connect with myself and explore all the depths of my humanity with presence, observation and kindness.

As a result of my work with Graham, many aspects of my life have significantly improved from my health and personal relationships to the daily work I do with my patients as a Naturopathic Doctor and most importantly to the relationship I have with myself.

Graham has walked this journey with me, always holding a safe space for me while giving me the guidance and tools needed to navigate powerfully through life.

I have so much gratitude for having the opportunity to work with Graham in this life.

When I began working with Graham 5 years ago I was going through a challenging time in my life, navigating a new relationship, a new baby and a new business. Life was confronting me along fronts from which there was no avoidance. I was anxious, scared and angry; I was also unhappy and ashamed with how I was reacting to those feelings. I was short-tempered, impatient and unfair, with those closest to me and there was a palpable distance between me and my young daughter that was distressing.

I could feel that the source of my unhappiness was a disturbance I felt inside; one I’ve felt for most of my life. I was searching for change when a trusted friend recommended I contact Graham. My friend said very little about Graham or the way he worked, which I’m thankful for because it’s so easy to talk yourself out of work like this by turning it into a philosophical exercise. He told me only that “[Graham] works on the level of feeling,” which resonated with me and so began my journey inward.

The first question Graham ever asked me was, “what are you feeling?” I invite you to take a moment to explore the power the answer to that question holds when you strip away the pretense and narrative that comes along with it.

For 5 years I’ve explored that question in a very personal, internal practice that Graham has helped me develop through various techniques and prompts, including breath work, meditation and more. The program itself comes from Graham’s own internal inquiry and exploration so it feels authentic to the human experience we all share. Knowing I’m working with someone who has been there and come through the other side with a new perspective and open heart has always encouraged me to keep going.

I’m thankful for how Graham has always been a gentle, but firm guide helping me navigate my own journey. He’s always met me where I am with an uncanny sense of when to encourage me to look deeper and when to advise me against pushing too hard. He’s been a friend, a confidant and a mentor, but he’s never made it about himself or his methods. His guidance always comes back to my experience; what’s happening inside.

The answers have unfolded over time, becoming more vivid and clear, revealing knowledge of self and the nature of life and relationship. As I’ve opened within, my practice has evolved. The program has met me every step of the way, prompting me to deeper inquiry when I’m ready and supporting me when my internal state has been especially irritated and raw.

My life has changed because my relationship with life has changed. My awareness has become more sensitive and consistent, which has made me appreciate what I’m feeling, even when it’s uncomfortable and disturbing. With a newfound awareness and appreciation of the present moment, I’ve developed the ability to consciously respond to life rather than unconsciously react.

I don’t have the words to describe what it’s like to have profound awareness and appreciation for a beautiful sunset and the feeling of my daughter’s soft little hand held in my own, or for how I respond fluidly to the daily challenges of being a father, husband and business owner. These experiences defy accurate description with words because the nature of authentic experience is that it’s felt with an intensity that goes beyond language.

You may still be wondering what you’ll find down the path of your internal exploration. With a strong measure of personal commitment to the process, time, and Graham’s guidance I can tell you in one word - Freedom.

i had the distinct privilege and honor of engaging in Graham’s 9 week workshop recently. having been a student of Grahams for some time i had expected to get a lot of out of the program as all of my encounters with Graham are packed with extremely insightful, powerful and sometimes life-altering experiences that truly affect all areas of my life. but this workshop took my past experiences to another level. it forced a level of immediacy and further depth of self-reflection that i couldn’t have fully expected. it put many of the emotional, psychological and historical beliefs and behaviors into a naked and open space that i couldn’t ignore or compartmentalize in anyway. i was faced to really deal with myself and areas i hadn’t realized were comforted and protected, which really opened another level of access and growth within. it’s hard to explain the impact given how deep it truly runs, words seem superficial compared to the actual experience and comparisons don’t quite measure up to the true depth or gravity of the impact within. but anyone who has an inkling of inspiration to further grow, expand, open up and evolve as a man, woman, husband, wife, parent, partner and/or human being should strongly consider engaging in this workshop as what it will deliver is nothing short of extremely profound and incredibly rewarding human discovery. i cannot recommend this enough and am truly and forever grateful for having had this experience and will be engaging with it again and again.

It is not an easy thing to describe how effective and life changing Dr. Graham Mead’s Inner Sense program is, but I will try because I am so grateful to have been working with him for the past 18 months.

Upon meeting Dr. Mead it was abundantly clear that what he was sharing with me would change my life and my entire experience in the world. The work is simple and Dr. Mead is very patient and clear and the perfect guide. However, the process of untangling a lifetime of stories and reactivity is complex, frustrating and also very exciting. As I’ve done the course and met with Graham I have seen the power and transformation unfold in my life - in my work-life, my relationships with family and my closest friends. I have been really awed by by the beauty of becoming more open and less reactive and can see more clearly that this inner journey is the only way to truly live more joyfully. I am so very grateful for the opportunity to learn from Dr. Mead.

The Inner Sense course is a gift for anyone who can commit to a 9 week enlightening, comforting and powerful journey.

I think for most people – especially men – it’s difficult to open up about problems and reach out for help. After years of ignoring really deep-rooted emotional issues, I considered myself blessed that life had me cross paths with Graham. I consider him my teacher, friend, and inspiration in nearly every aspect of life.

In a single session, Graham changed the way I view everything. In an instant, I knew the path I would follow for the rest of my life. Graham’s teachings and practices changed the way I relate to every relationship, situation, and moment. It wasn’t easy (and admittedly it still isn’t sometimes), but I’ve slowly learned how to be still and feel the ever-changing adventure of life without reacting to the fear, anxiety, or anger that had previously governed it. If free will does exist, this is the closest I’ve been to experiencing it. And it truly feels as though the flower of freedom only blossoms more with each day.

The evidence of my transformation is nothing that can be quantified or calculated. My life is more peaceful and I have a profound sense of gratitude for the people and relationships within it. I stress less. My body is loose, relaxed, and free of tension. The smallest moments of seemingly normal days are recognized not only as gifts but as wise teachers if only I pay attention. I love and am loved.

When I came to Graham I was lost and confused by the chaos that crowded my mind. He showed me the tools and the way for me to take back responsibility for my life experience. Suddenly life was less of a fight and more of a flow.

I have gained a huge appreciation for what you have guided me through and from a person that normally speaks all the time, my silence and appreciation for the process speaks volumes. I have taken so much away from this and as you say, can never unsee or un-learn. I have thoroughly enjoyed, albeit if confronting, much of what has been experienced and shown through your practice methods. I don’t think I’d want to stop, for knowing the benefit I’ve gained in the appreciation of understanding the marriage between thought and feeling. Understanding now, how they are interlinked, but often irrational and there is more to experience than have thought override reality. What I thought was a calm mind, was in fact chaotic and reactionary, has now developed a new sense of calm and appreciation for moments in time and you’re right, better relationships.
