Jamie, the creator and voice of SUCO, began his research and practice of a new ritual in South Africa back in 2016, to create what would deliver a revolutionary form of wellbeing; active meditation.
“Many people ask me how I landed up dedicating my life to practicing and inspiring joy. The truth is that I was led here by self work. Like so many people I had developed the habit of being disconnected. I found myself disconnected from my purpose, from the people in my life and most of all from my emotions. I found myself living day to day without ever feeling truly alive. This disconnection was making me emotionally, physically and spiritually unwell. I know that I am not the only one who has felt or currently feels like this. Modern living is geared to make us feel this way.
At breaking point. I needed to find myself. I needed to learn how to be free again. It was a thirst for knowledge and connection that took me around the world discovering ancient methodologies, modern technologies, music, rituals, practices, gifted teachers, spiritual masters and ultimately my own unique voice. I took this journey to find myself without ever expecting that it would become my purpose.
I have discovered the art of practicing joy, and now my life’s purpose is to share this gift with others. This journey has profoundly transformed me. I no longer live in fear; instead, I am filled with a deep sense of belonging. I have manage to move from a past of working in a plastics factory, trapped in a cycle of selfish and destructive habits to a life brimming with passion and fulfilment.
Where I once saw life as void of meaning, I now feel deeply connected and at one with the universe. The fear that once gripped me has been replaced with a sense of safety and boundless love. The practices that have brought me this profound transformation are ones I believe can help countless others. My mission is to share these life-changing practices and spread the joy that they hold.”
