Wyrd Experience at Broughton Hall Skipton

Roger Tempest,Co-founder and Director

Broughton Sanctuary has been Roger Tempest’s family home for 32 generations. With over 900 years of history resting on his shoulders he has one main mission in life: to secure its future.

In the late 1980s, aged 25, Roger unexpectedly took on the role of custodian, ending his blossoming career on Fleet Street. Working to make a success of the Estate, Roger created a plan that blended conservation, enterprise and innovation to regenerate not just Broughton Hall but the community around it.

His appointments range from executive chairman of a national infrastructure development project in Libya, on a board of an international homeless charity to being a joint founder of Wyrd Experience and running a group of companies within Rural Concepts Group specialising in rural regeneration.

Dr Wolfhardt Janu,Chief Scientific Wyrdo and Co-Founder

Dr Wolfhardt Janu is Chief Scientific Wyrdo and Co-Founder. He holds a PhD in chemistry and worked for 10 years in academic research. He then moved to be a freelancer in software and hardware development for customized laboratory solutions.

Together with his colleagues and friends he developed a new method to scan the output of two random number event generators (REG’s) for correlations, which enables one to detect with high precision changes in a non-local field, mainly known as the field of consciousness.

He has practised Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu for 19 years, discovered African Shamanism (Sangoma) and (co-)led several private scientific teams investigating the “paranormal” in theory and practice. In 2007 he got to know the work of Ken Wilber and since then he and his team(s) have been using the Integral map as the main tool to navigate and communicate on the margins of the so-called “unknown”.

He has been an environmental activist and spent many years in the non-profit sector including leading international youth training programs for the Council of Europe.

He is a recognized expert in the field of evolutionary systems dynamics and Spiral Dynamics Integral in particular. He has published four books: Evolutionary Leadership, Why Work?, Leading from the Field and Volution.

Michael Oswald,Chief Technology Wyrdo

He is the software lead for the Wyrdoscope and part of the research team, looking into psi phenomena and consciousness in general. He is a senior specialist for mission control systems and satellite test systems and has worked in various aerospace companies for several missions from ESA (European Space Agency) and DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt). He holds a MSc in computer science and is a member of the British Computing Society.

He holds a teacher degree (Shidoshi) in Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu (japanese martial arts), which he trains in since 2001, and in the associated medicine Amatsu Ryoho. He has qualifications in western therapies (massage, NLP master practitioner) and has worked with psycho-kinesiology, EMDR, systemic therapies and several shamans.

He came into contact with Integral Metatheory in 2007, which is now an important backbone and framework for living, research, teaching, treatment and work. He gave several workshops and talks about Integral Metatheory and together with a friend created the Amatsu Tatara Shinden system, which combines the Integral with the japanese martial arts and medicine knowledge and which is the basis for the Science & Consciousness of the Self course on Ubiquity University, where he is a core faculty member.

His mission is to be a part of healing the fractures in today’s methodologies, from science to holistic wisdom, from technology to consciousness, from splintered, fragmented knowledge to fully integral (w)holism.

Kirsty Allan,Chief Research Wyrdo

She is a PhD psychology candidate and consciousness researcher focused on psi phenomena and sensitivity.

On a mission to promote the innate ‘magic’ of highly sensitive people, she blends cutting-edge science and depth psychology with esoteric wisdom.

Chief Research Wyrdo

Kirsty actively researches with both children and adults exploring psi phenomena (psychic) experiences, in relation to altered states of consciousness, creativity, empathy and wellbeing. Her mission is to leverage this vantage sensitivity to establish reliable and accessible practices for a range of applications supporting healing, transpersonal understanding and ethical decision-making. She is a certified professional coach to highly sensitive people, therapist, has published a self-help book (IF) and is the founding member of The IF Crowd.

Annette Grathoff,Senior Research Wyrdo

Annette Grathoff PhD, is convinced it is possible to come to a positive motivation for conserving biodiversity by gaining a thorough understanding of how stability develops and is lost in evolution. She leads a literature review project to achieve this goal. A universal and sound model for estimating what threatens as well as what perpetuates or even benefits life is needed.

Her project “The Evolution of Information Processing Systems“ comprises the evaluation of a body of literature from different disciplines; including theoretical as well as applied scientific work. As her profession is Biology, Chemical Ecology, she is mainly tracking insights in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry; insights into how stability and selection principles can evolve in abiotic or prebiotic contexts and which mathematical models of description have successfully prevailed in science and engineering so far. It is obvious that there is already much know-how and experience but distributed over (at least) thousands of brains which need to be “motivated to approach each other”. The yield is worth the effort!

Annette is a member of the oREGano community of researchers who are debating and addressing experimentally topics on the leading edge of knowledge – strictly following the principles which have proven themselves time and again as the scientific method.

Annette works closely with the Wyrd team in the development of the Wyrdoscope and related research.
