My work is dedicated to find and honor what is truly noble in the human spirit.
I see that we are all - all 7.6+ billion of us - only One Human Body. Our work is to remember, in this lifetime, that we are not separate. We are called by the Earth, a living and self-aware organism, to free ourselves from the mind-created illusion of separation.
This view of the world has been forming in me for the past 30 years. Here are my teachers and what I have learned from them:
From Osho Rajneesh, and from living in his communities, I have learned about daring to be alive;
From Carlos Castaneda, I have learned what it means to be complete;
From Carolyn Myss, I have learned the nature of sacred contracts and how they guide our lives;
From Andrew Cohen, I have learned about commitment, corruption, spiritual greed, honesty, and integrity;
From Shanti Mayi, I have learned about unconditional love and what it means to be transformed by the Guru principle
From my life partner and collaborator, Mitra Martin, I learn about honesty, integrity, and living a life together in the service of a higher purpose - and about tango, its subtleties, and how to lead by following.
From the spirit of tango, I learn what it's actually like to follow a spirit;
From Buddhism, I learn the stages of meditation and the transformative power that comes from being dedicated to studying the Noble Eightfold Path;
From nature I learn how to open my eyes and see that which has always been here for me to see - I learn that nature is spirit itself.
Power plants teach me a larger view of spirit than I found in any religion - one that encompasses: humility, humbleness, healing, liberation, integrity, truth, inner silence, and fluidity. Most of all, from plant spirits I have learned how to forgive.
From Shamans, I am learning what it takes to lead a ceremony and what it means to approach a plant spirit with honor, reverence, and humility
Through my parents, I am learning that where the deepest wounds lie, there awaits the deepest potential, the greatest contribution to life we can make in one lifetime;
From disease, I have learned that there is no time for indulging in anything since death is stalking us every moment - that I, as this global One Human Body, am not the top of the food chain, but am prey in the universe - just like everything else.
From my own death, I learn what it means to be truly honest: I don't know when my last moment arrives, and I have no time to waste
From Wolf and Lisa Wahpepah and through their work with native ceremony, I have learned what it means to pray
From Robin Eagle Sage, I am learning about how to give remote readings and healings, about grounding, and about trust
From Chinese Medicine, I am learning what it means to contain myself as energy, and that Chinese herbs are not for me
My gift to humanity, to my One Human Body, is to spread these teachings.
