Ivan shares his very personal account of journeying with three mental health disorders. Not being consulted or engaged in terms of treatment choices and medication for his bipolar almost led to the loss of his life.
Given a second chance at life and with a PhD in research Ivan went to the task, researching wellbeing and self-help options to help himself feel better. According to his experience, it was a practice called ‘heart meditation’ and associated learning/workshops which led to a new balance and health. In fact, his experiences were so profound he says ‘I am now happier than ever before in my life’.
It was then that he founded a wellbeing organisation called ‘Happy Ground Wellbeing’. Ivan also works as volunteer Heart Meditation Teacher and Mental Health Consumer Representative for Flourish Mental Health Action In Our Hands Inc., in and around Hobart Tasmania.
