Hi there.
I’m Michael Oliver -
Connection Coach, Fellow Traveller,


& Meditation Guide


I support meditation, mindfulness and spiritual practitioners to develop relational depth, cultivate presence and navigate states of stagnation, disconnection or uncertainty. All my work is in service of reconnection with truth, beauty and the wild within and without.

Presence in my view leads to a deepening of relationships, which in turn, makes life more meaningful. But true presence is difficult to cultivate, especially in today’s world of exponential acceleration, distraction, confusion and disassociated mentation. We have lost touch with the truth of relationship. I'm not just referring to romantic love - but rather, inter-relationality as a whole. The interrelational thread that makes up the very fabric of all that is. That which connects us to our innermost core, to nature and to all, as one.

My work is focused on deepening the way in which we inter-relate within our shared fragmented scenario.

My Background

My approach in grounded in the following:
Delving into the inner realm and re-membering our inherent interrelational capacities is what excites me most (read more here). And so, for the past nine years, I've devoted the majority of my time toward developing areas of key interests which include meditation, mythological studies, various schools of psychology, spirituality, my personal ancestry (within the Pagan traditions of Eastern Europe), engaged Buddhism, entheogenic plant medicine, art therapy, dreamwork and Deep Ecology. This has been done through undertaking trainings, workshops , continuous dialogue, mentorships and ongoing relationships with wisdom keepers.

I have also been privileged to have had a mother who was a renowned Tarot teacher who taught me to meditate at a very young age. I’ve since become a certified meditation teacher under Matthew Young at the Melbourne Meditation Centre and have taught meditation since 2020. I have also had the honour of providing presence-based coaching, guidance and counsel to over 200 clients. Apart from my coaching practice, I also host the Today Dreamer podcast and engage in various projects focused on cultivating presence and deepening relationship. I don’t like the word “coach” and see myself more as a fellow traveller, co-exploring modes of navigation amongst the invisibles of our current time.

I am deeply passionate about working with individuals who are sincerely committed to deepening their relationship with themselves, others and the more than human world. My offerings are designed for those individuals prepared to dedicate time, effort, focus and resources to their personal growth and spiritual development.

Limiting my core offering to only five spots, I'm fully dedicated to honouring the sacred nature of your journey. I feel this is essential to provide the undivided presence and heartfelt support at the level which I believe is required. If you feel aligned with the opportunity to to work together, I encourage you to reach out.
