John George Butler (born 16 May 1937) is a British author, YouTuber and retired farmer[1] living in Derbyshire.[2] A graduate of the University of Nottingham,[3] Butler is known for having written several books describing his experiences with meditation and spirituality gained through international travel and study,[4] and has accumulated over 200 thousand subscribers on his YouTube[5] channel where he discusses a wide array of subjects that primarily centre around religion and introspection.[6]

Butler's spiritual views are told in a Christian context and revolve around the importance of meditation and self-discovery,[7] and his soft-spoken voice has drawn fans of ASMR to his channel as well.[8] A Conscious TV interview with Butler, uploaded in 2016 and covering his life story, received over three million views on YouTube;[9] Butler began his YouTube channel after he was encouraged by its positive reception.[10] Beyond authorship and videomaking, Butler also gained attention in the 1970s when he became one of the first farmers in the United Kingdom to promote organic farming.[11] His organic practices are the subject of the 1975 BBC documentary Three Acres at Bicker Fen.[12]
