About the Project, the Founder,
and the Work

Vision and Mission

Richard Frost founded Twenty2Beyond because he believes in the importance of us all taking more control over our lives, enjoying them more, and directing them forwards in ways we care about. He also believes in us all needing to be better humans, for ourselves; for our close relations, friends, and community; and for the wider world.

To these ends, Richard's mission is to help normalise access to an inner education that enables you to develop a steadier way of being, be kinder to yourself and others, and grow your life in ways you accept and value, both in terms of who you are and what you do.

His work at Twenty2Beyond helps with the right kind of integrated learning and focus, both ongoing and at the right times in your life, whether in your 20s, 40s, 60s, or anywhere else in between or beyond.

"My vision is to revolutionise how we live and live together, as we head towards the 22nd Century and beyond. I think we need it and I think the world needs it, too."

Elements of Richard's Own Recent Journey

‣ Richard successfully transitioned his two children from China to the UK on his own, after 20 years overseas. He still continues mindfully and happily on his single parenting journey.

‣ He finds challenge, peace, and a great deal of value in maintaining steady and balanced mental and emotional states, regardless of circumstances and uncertainty.

‣ Richard has taken on the role of Chair of Governors at his son’s school, where he is leading a governance and accountability restructure.

‣ Through everything, through all the ups and downs, Richard still loves life and maintains belief in everyone's ability to evolve and grow, in ways they care about and are better for them.
About the Founder
Here are a few points that explain why Richard is ready, able and driven to support you:

‣ Richard has 30 years of commitment to consciously both growing his own life while trying to work out how more of us can live lives we really value and enjoy more. This is his passion and Twenty2Beyond is the result of it. He knows full well the benefits of this valuable process and perspective.

‣ Richard has 20 years experience as a teacher and a trainer. His highly developed skills as an educator were honed while training teachers for nearly 10 years. He will bring these skills to his work with you.

‣ When young, Richard enjoyed working and traveling before settling to do an MA in Politics and Philosophy and a PGCEd in Citizenship, with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).

‣ After qualifying, Richard chose to spend a year in India, do an MSc in International Development, and live in China for 17 years. His intention was to better understand the world being shaped in his lifetime, while continuing to work out what he most wanted to commit his life to. 

‣ In recent years, Richard used his various experiences, knowledge from his studies and MSc thesis, and 10 years of independent research, to develop the ideas and framework behind Twenty2Beyond. 

‣ Over the years, Richard has evolved a high degree of self-actualisation, the work, the journey and the results of which he continues to value, enjoy, and share today.

‣ Richard also has a highly developed active awareness (mindfulness) practice, through which he has been able to touch upon self-transcendence. The experience of moving beyond worry he found truly miraculous.

Richard is now ready to use all the wisdom and skills he has gained from these experiences in his work with you. 
Note from the Founder
It is my belief that life is long and that what truly matters is how we manage the process of our lives, which means learning to manage ourselves well, as much as it does anything else. And that can start and continue at any time.

It is up to us to become more able to direct a path through the ups and downs of life. At the core of this, is the work we do on ourselves - to better deal with both.

Most importantly, it's about realising that meaning and direction aren't just given to us, we get to define them for ourselves. They come from within and they evolve within us too, depending on our awareness, autonomy, and sense of control: our agency. 

The more we grow in these areas, the more we're able to shape a life that feels genuinely ours, one we value and one we enjoy more.

| Growing a Life | 

This is what my work here is for - to support you in growing your life and yourself as a person: building stability in your mind, finding meaning, discovering what you enjoy and brings you joy, and getting more of these into your life. It's also about emerging from the tough times as much as anything else, with your head held high and your heart intact, still able to enjoy the process of life itself. 
All of this is as much about managing your thoughts and emotions, evolving your perspective, and deepening your inner character as it is about acquiring anything else. To me, this is the most important work there is, because everything else valuable flows from it, and we can keep working on it and getting value from it, no matter what else is going on outside us in the world.
For now though, take care of yourself out there. I hope our paths cross, whether through a chat, a workshop, or one of my courses. If you want to get in touch, you are always welcome. You'll find the links below.

A First Video Introduction
This is a first attempt video introduction to what I and Twenty2Beyond are all about. I originally had no intention of publishing it – hence the comfy clothes and at home feel – I had just been playing around with video for the first time. I liked the message though, it is the right one, so I decided to share it.
Write your awesome label here.
