John Haines was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario. He now lives with his family in New Zealand’s lightly populated and stunning subtropical Far North. His simple life includes the growing of an abundance of organic vegetables and fruit and assisting his wife in the homeschooling of their two daughters. He broadcasts a popular weekly one hour radio interview program, Voices from the North, that is simultaneously carried on local cable television. He’s lived in The Netherlands (twice), Saudi Arabia, Australia, New Mexico and Arizona, together with his first 25 years in Ontario, Canada. He met his beautiful Dutch wife Lucia in India during an 11 month period in the Himalayas. He holds Bachelor of Commerce and MBA degrees, and is a qualified teacher of the Power of Sound and Touch for Health.
John Haines is an entertaining and inspiring speaker. He facilitates workshops or what he calls playshops in voice, communication, nutrition and motivation. To arrange for speaking and/or playshop opportunities in your area contact John by email at johnhaines@xtra.co.nz or peacejourney@hotmail.com . Playshops can be created to suit the needs of your group.
The almost unbelievable chain of coincidences described in In Search of Simplicity led John around the world to Santa Fe, New Mexico. His profound experiences and experiments with Truth, simplicity, self-sufficiency and the Spirit of Nature in New Mexico, Arizona and beyond are the subject of the upcoming sequel to In Search of Simplicity. He’s completing that book now.
