Stephen Wollaston was given the name Santoshan (contentment) by an English swami in the mid-90s. He is a Psychosynthesis counsellor, OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation minister, graphic designer, writer, teacher and musician. He holds a BA honours degree in religious studies and a postgraduate certificate in religious education from King's College London, trained in transpersonal counselling at the Psychosynthesis Trust and typographic design at the London College of Printing. In the late 70s he was the principal bass guitarist of one of London's first punk rock bands, The Wasps. Additionally, he has helped war refugees and long-term unemployed students with English language skills and was an academic writing coordinator at a medical university in the Middle East for four years.
He is the current Chair of GreenSpirit's Publications Committee, has been a trustee of GreenSpirit since 2012, is the main typographic designer of GreenSpirit Magazine and the GreenSpirit Book Series, and has edited and contributed to titles in the Series. He began writing various green and interspiritual books in the early 90s when a long-time close friend asked him to collaborate on an extensive development manual with him and write on areas he is passionate about, particularly transpersonal growth. Since then, he has authored, coauthored and edited more than a dozen books on different areas of Eastern and Western spirituality, including Spirituality Unveiled: Awakening to Creative Life, Rivers of Green Wisdom: Exploring Christian and Yogic Earth-Centred Spirituality, and Realms of Wondrous Gifts: Psychic, Mediumistic and Miraculous Powers in the Great Mystical and Wisdom Traditions, which objectively assesses different teachings and beliefs.
