They received a teaching certificate from London South Bank University, and currently conduct seminars in anger management and conflict resolution.

By 2003, their interest in counseling and their ordination into the Western Buddhist Order led them to writing and performing, and training themselves and others in anger management and conflict resolution.

In 2012, Mason-John alongside spoken-word artist Kevan Anthony Cameron co-edited the anthology The Great Black North: Contemporary African Canadian Poetry, published by Frontenac House,[13] featuring more than 90 poets.

[13] Notable poets in the anthology include George Elliott Clarke, M. Nourbese Philip, Wayde Compton, Sylvia Hamilton, Olive Senior, Fredrick Ward and d'bi Young.

The anthology is unique in the way it categorizes "page" and "stage" poetry, as a means to honour both the written and oral traditions of poets from the African Diaspora.
