David Linaker

David Linaker is a writer, independent celebrant, and guide for those seeking meaning, connection, and transformation in midlife and beyond. He has spent decades walking alongside people in their most profound moments—grief, love, loss, and renewal. Now, he brings his deep understanding of the human experience to his writing, blending soulful spirituality, psychology, and timeless wisdom to help readers cultivate inner peace, resilience, and a more connected life.

Drawing on influences from Zen Buddhism, contemplative Christianity, and modern psychology, David explores themes of personal growth, mindful living, and the power of love over fear. His books offer a compassionate and practical approach to navigating life’s transitions, whether through soulful spirituality, healing after loss, or embracing the second half of life with wisdom and purpose.

When not writing, David leads meaningful ceremonies, records guided meditations and enjoys hiking, running, and sailing. He lives near Salisbury in the UK with his wife, Jane, their blended family, and two beloved black Labradors, Peggy and Stanley.
