Shamot Sesju was born in Grasse (France), his family migrated to Australia in 1968, when he was two. At present he is a senior teacher. Shamot’s childhood, in the central South Australian opal-mining town of Andamooka, inspired his fascination for matters concerning the spirit. Working at a secondary Christian school he was motivated to search for the truth regarding Church dogma and how this might be reconciled for the generations of the twenty-first century.
