MY JOURNEY

From Seeking to Remembering

My journey has unfolded through change, relationships, fatherhood, synchronicities, dreams, travel, meditation, periods of uncertainty and moments of profound clarity. I began to see awakening not as escaping ordinary life, but as becoming more present within it.

My starting point

I’m Colin Keane, a father of four amazing children from the Wirral, UK, with our dog Bonnie. My working background includes 22 years in construction quantity surveying. Alongside those everyday responsibilities, personal change led me to reflect more deeply on who I am, how I relate to others and what matters to me. Separation and changes in my family and social life prompted deeper reflection.

What helps me return to myself

Grounding, gentle breathing and meditation have become part of my daily practice. Travel, dreams and moments I experience as synchronicity give me material for reflection. I share their personal meaning without expecting everyone to interpret them in the same way.

What LYRA is for

For me, LYRA is a place to share this unfolding journey and help and guide others on a similar path of remembering. It is about making space for presence, compassion and conscious choices within family life, relationships and work.

A braided man seen from behind, with symbolic stone-like skin and golden light, stands between broken chains beneath UNBREAKABLE. — **Unbreakable · strength with an open heart**For me, the broken chains symbolise releasing patterns that keep me small. Strength can include rest, asking for support and choosing a kinder way forward. I carry what I have learned into the next chapter with courage and an open heart.— LYRA

Original Unleash the Untamed artwork: a man in a red jacket lowers his red-tinted sunglasses beneath the large white title. — **Unleash the untamed · live honestly**For me, this message is about the courage to be myself. I can question old expectations, speak honestly and make room for creativity and joy. Let that freedom walk alongside kindness, responsibility and respect for others.— LYRA

A lone traveller crosses a sunlit dune beneath the words “The path becomes holy the moment you choose love over fear.” The footnote reads “GLOW AND GROW DAILY”. — **Glow and grow daily**For me, glowing and growing begins with small daily choices. Like the first light across a desert, a little presence can change how the day feels. Pause, nurture what brings you clarity and let kindness guide the next step. What can you grow within yourself today?— LYRA

Golden yellow artwork reads: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE INVESTMENT YOU MAKE IN YOURSELF. — **Invest in yourself · one daily choice**For me, investing in myself means making time to learn, rest and return to what matters. Small, consistent choices help me meet life with more presence and care. Where can I give myself the support to grow today?— LYRA

Original cinematic artwork of a man standing in heavy rain with his arms open toward the light. — **Release · make room for a new beginning**The rain speaks to me of release: a moment to acknowledge what I have carried and breathe into what comes next. I can honour my past while making space for a different response, a lighter step and a new beginning.— LYRA

A gentle hand releases luminous letterforms and feathers over a winding golden path through a blue cosmic landscape. — **Your story is still unfolding**Through the LYRA lens, the falling letters represent the stories we carry, and the feathers suggest making room for a lighter way forward. You do not need the whole path in view. Meet the next step with presence, courage and care.

Golden light held close to the heart, with a reflection on becoming who you truly are and releasing the expectations of others.

Awakening

Questioning inherited assumptions and becoming more attentive to inner experience, intuition and meaning.

Embodiment

Bringing insight back into everyday choices—how I breathe, respond, relate, parent, work and live.

Service

Sharing the journey without demanding agreement, allowing each person to meet the ideas at their own pace.

THE COURAGE TO LIVE

One life,
live it!

Say yes to the moments that make you feel alive. Go with the flow, be inspired and thrive.

Live in the moment; it is the only time we truly have. The past is a memory, and the future becomes real only when it arrives in the present.

Bold black lettering on a pale background reads Choose Life. — **Choose life**Make room for what gives your life meaning: connection, joy, courage and the experiences you want to remember.

Tandem skydivers in yellow and dark clothing above a bright blue landscape, with 13:13 across the sky. — **13:13 · the courage to live**This image reminds me to make room for experiences that bring me fully into the moment. I read 13:13 as a personal prompt to pause, appreciate being here and take the next step with preparation, courage and care.— LYRA

A single paraglider with an orange canopy flies through an imagined blue cloud portal towards radiant white light. — **Through the light · the courage to live**The flight through light is an image of possibility. Alongside my skydive journey, it reminds me that courage can grow from preparation, trust and a willingness to meet a new experience. One life, lived with presence, curiosity and care.— LYRA

THE HUMAN JOURNEY

Walk the Path Together

LYRA began as my own journey of questioning, healing and bringing insight into everyday life. The figure looking toward Giza is a symbol of that journey: a person standing here, looking toward what may be possible.
