About
This is a calling I have had since my earliest years. I've not always followed that calling nor have I done it justice, but is an undeniable part of me.
I have a wide range of interests and over the years have honed the gift of synthesis in a way that brings abstract ideas to life in applied and practical ways. Orchestrating meaningful, embodied learning processes is part of my joy and part of my creative art.
So whether it is drawing from the neurosciences, quantum mechanics, complexity theories or ancient wisdom traditions, holistic philosophy, well-being, I love the synergies that happen when these encounter the intuitive "truths" of our inner world. I love to create the possibilities and the transformative emergence that often occur. It is in this place of heart-felt awe and wonder that re-enchantment is born and our cosmic nature finds a voice.
