Biography
Roads was born in Cambridgeshire, England and grew up as a farmer’s son. He left school as early as he could and worked for his father. At the age of 21 he married his first wife Treenie with whom he immigrated to Australia in 1964. Together they had a beef and dairy farm and raised four children. During this time, he joined the Australian organic movement and he wrote his first book, on organic gardening, which became a bestseller. After selling the farm he and his wife cofounded a spiritual community, which they left after four years, eventually moving to a small town on the east coast of Australia.
In his books, Roads declares that during his youth as a farmer he developed and ability to communicate with nature, and began to explore the world from a metaphysical plane. Claiming that this insight helped him to recover from a serious illness, he began writing his books and giving public talks. For over twenty years, Michael has been a writer and spiritual teacher in many countries around the world.
