Welcome to this space for humans who want to come home to their true nature and live full out from their radiant Being. This is the path I walk, and I share my journey here, because perhaps you may see yourself in it, too. To quote Ram Dass: “We’re all just walking each other home.”

For most of my life, I hid behind masks —not speaking up, people-pleasing, and numbing out with substances, relationships, productivity, fixing myself, food, dissociation from my physical body and more— to avoid my unconscious fear of being rejected and alone. I hid my essence, consistently adapting to be someone I was not. This led me to the experience of feeling lost and empty inside, again and again.

Finally, I got to the point that I did not know if I existed anymore, and some part of me knew it was time to break the cycle once and for all. I was done with quick fixes and the part-time, solo healing journey, and embarked on a journey to unfold my Being, full-time, in connection with community.

In walking this path, I find I know less and less about who I am or should be, and enter more deeply into the unknown of being with life, facing into all the shadows and light that come with it, in every here and now. This has initiated me into taking radical responsibility for building a solid home inside myself. And wow! is this journey ALIVE, WILD, LOVING, INSPIRED, CHALLENGING, and SOULFUL.

The school of life has so far taught me a lot, from:

• following the linear life plan of going to school at Colgate University, then having a professional career in New York City, then a life partner, house, car, and pet…and then giving it all up and starting over

• changing jobs, industries (from the visual arts to real estate and architecture to technology to healing and transformational arts), cities, and haircuts many times

• romantically relating with different partners, sexes, agreements, and depths

• experiencing various therapies for anxiety, depression, addiction, self-abandonment, and codependency

• leading teams and founding companies in my professional work life

• retiring from “working” and entering into a life of practice and passionate service

• traveling around the world alone and with other humans, immersing myself in cultures different from what I grew up in, such as the grand melting pot of the threads of arts and spirituality across northern India, the Wayúu indigenous people living in the beautiful yet harshly elemental conditions of La Guajira, Colombia, the ecovillages woven into the jungles of Brazil, the Shibipo plant medicine lineage in Amazonian Peru, the clash of modern western spirituality and Mayan tradition throughout Guatemala, the creative and conscious sexuality community in Berlin

• participating in authentic adulthood initiations and practitioner trainings in transformational and healing modalities (listed to the side / below)

• experientially researching living in community in India, Brazil, Switzerland, Mexico, and more

• working with sacred plant medicines

• exploring the depths of my sexuality and sensuality

• leaving everything behind to live out of a backpack twice (currently living out time #2 some years later)

• holding space for hundreds of people for their emotional, energetic, physical, mental, and spiritual healing and evolution

All of these lived experiences have supported me to build a conscious relationship with fear, which is an ongoing practice.

Fear is not a design error. It exists for a purpose.

Instead of fear being something to be avoided, I’ve learned to use fear as my compass. It points me exactly where I need to go next.

Moving in this way allows me to dance inside the fires of transformation, in an ongoing process of unlearning, dying, rebirthing, and experimenting with the new life I feed myself with the ashes created through these cycles.

Through this I’ve trained to cut myself, others, and organizations open with a gentle strength to ignite healing and transformational processes.

With a unique combination of precision and spaciousness, I hold space for people and projects to enter into powerful inner excavations where they navigate below the surface to that which most wants to be expressed.

By being with the full collection of parts that make up the whole, I help Beings and organizations to discover that thing behind the thing; the essence that wants to be experienced that has been blocked by numbed feelings, unspoken words, or abandoned desires.

I am in awe of and grateful for the varied and diverse life I signed up to live. These experiences have fostered in me a deep love for holding space for people and organizations to transition into more alive, aligned, and authentic expressions of their true nature.

And ultimately, this work isn’t just about me or you. Living your true nature is about owning the unique soul path you came here to live so the full potential of your Being can shine and lovingly impact the web of life encompassed in our shared home, Earth.

You in?
