“Many of us assume that taking ourselves apart will be a spiritual adventure. It is fascinating to discover what we are and the causes and conditions in which we arise – but we expect something to catch us at the end. We might be willing to deconstruct ourselves if everything else in our world remained intact, or we might be willing to dismantle everything else as long as we remained intact, but disassembling both can seem pointless and scary. What is left of our world, what is left of “me”?
If it were not for the compelling force of the heart, few of us would venture into this arena, but the heart holds not only the urge to move beyond the perception of separation but also the safety of its own love. And that is why we move: for the resolution of the heart and the fulfillment and embodiment of love.”

I made this video to give visitors here a better sense of who I am and what I offer. Enjoy!
Sometimes it is necessary
to reteach a thing its loveliness,
to put a hand on its brow,
and retell it in words and in touch,
it is lovely,
until it flowers again from within, of self-blessing.
