Guest Bio |

Dr. Akasha is the founder of The Human Maturity Institute in Grenada and the author of a theory of human maturity centered on availability — the capacity to let reality reach you, and to return to that openness after you've closed. He works with the idea that maturity is not a stage you arrive at but the shrinking gap between disruption and return, and that how open a person can afford to be is always shaped by safety, power, and history. He is at work on a book, Available, and on the Availability Snapshot, a self-inquiry instrument now completed by people across four continents. He holds a PhD in Human Development from Fielding Graduate University and is a Developmental Coach and Facilitator at Cultivating Leadership.
