About Nigel
As a wanderer who found home, Nigel serves as a guide for those navigating life’s thresholds — the endings, beginnings, and in-between spaces where transformation quietly unfolds. Rooted in contemplative practice, shaped by decades of inner and outer journeys, and moved by a deep love of nature, stillness, ceremony and the unknown, Nigel walks the path of an everyday mystic: curious, grounded, and fully human.
Originally from England and now living in Amsterdam with his husband, dog, and sometimes their daughter, Nigel’s life has been anything but linear. His story weaves together British boarding school, corporate London, years of awakening in Central America, plus a decade and a half in the social justice and non-profit world - now complemented and grounded by many years of personal healing and inner development. Along the way there have been burnouts, breakthroughs, broken hearts, coming out, and coming home to himself.
Today, as the founder of MAGUEY, Nigel tends The Nest — an alchemical space for people to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the wider mystery of life. His work is rooted in care, curiosity, and integrity, bridging the inner and the collective, the psychological and the spiritual, the personal and the mythic.
Nigel’s way of guiding is simple: witness deeply, walk beside, and let transformation unfold in its own rhythm.
