As Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and director of Aidan Walker Associates, he now creates, curates, presents and chairs conference and seminar programmes such as The New York Times’ Art for Tomorrow Conference and the Grand Designs Live seminar programme with Kevin McCloud.Aidan has practised and taught Hatha and Raja Yoga all his adult life, and is now working on developing their principles to apply to mindfulness in the practice of design.[/expand]

He has practised yoga and meditation all his adult life and is currently writing two books – one on Mindfulness in Design and the other on Arts & Crafts in the Digital Age.[/expand]
Aidan is a compelling and charismatic speaker with a highly unusual CVthat includes six years living a monastic life of meditation and celibacy.
