Bob began working as a therapist, and offering workshops in The Practice Of Loving Presence in 1998. He is currently leading trainings in Canada, the U.S., Mexico, England, and Ireland. He also works with individuals and couples in his private practice. Bob lives on Salt Spring Island with his wife, Marcia. He is a grandfather, a woodworker, and the father of two grown sons.
