Eric spent his early years in Australia and South Africa before travelling the world extensively. His geographical wanderings came to an end at the age of 21, when he met with Astrology. This launched him on a different kind of voyage that led him to become a student of Astrology. At the same time, he undertook a training programme in Psychosynthesis. He started studying with the Faculty in 2006 while developing an astrological practice in the South West of France, where he lives. Eric also holds an MA in English and American Studies. He is a certified teacher of English as a Second Language to adult entry-level students, as well as faculty and university staff members at the University of Bordeaux.
