New Book: 'Adventures of an Ordinary Monk'
Tim has a new book out in 2025 about his life living as a student monk in the 1990s and early 2000s.
There are stories, reflections, discussions on wisdom and joyful little adventures!
The book has 26 colour photographs, is easy-to-read and - he hopes - will inspire people to explore living in an ashram themselves, whether for 10-days, a month, 3 months, or even longer... Who knows?!

We recommend people in Ireland get the book from Amazon.co.uk, while the new Amazon.ie tries to sort itself out.

Fun fact: the dhoti robe is supposed to be saffron (orange) but it tends to fade out over time to pinkish. One has to dye it every now and again, but at the time sometimes we were so absorbed in street singing
and book distribution that we tended to forget about it.
