Gilbert S Mane

Gilbert Mane, educated in Sydney, Australia, graduated with a law degree in 1980. In 1989, he was appointed headmaster of an independent primary school, a position he held for nearly three decades. Under his leadership, the school became renowned for its distinctive curriculum, integrating traditional subjects such as Mathematics, English, and Nature Study with Sanskrit, Latin, Shakespeare, Mozart, Philosophy, Mindfulness, and Practical Virtue. In 1975, Gilbert discovered a school of practical wisdom, where he encountered exceptional teachers and fellow seekers, eventually becoming a teacher himself. He captured these insights in his book 7 Steps to Freedom, providing a guide for others. In 2012, he delivered a TEDx talk on Education and Unity. Since retiring, Gilbert has authored three YA+ thriller-adventure novels blending historical and paranormal elements, and co-manages several businesses with his wife, Sarah Mane.
