out of my own purpose, a deep commitment to creatively and lovingly facilitate relationship to Essence, to Nature and to a greater sense of Spirit. For as long as I can remember my passion has been ignited by exploring my relationship to myself, my intimacy with others, my love of the natural world and my deep and abiding sense of Spirit.

    was a deep desire to know love and freedom… to directly experience the essential beauty of my being and my connection to all my relations. I wanted to recognize the truth, and to shed its light on anything that obstructed my direct experience of myself as a Sacred being. I wanted to come home to myself. Over time, I realized the answer was within and the illusion of obstruction was only kept in place by the grip of my personality, held in place by my judge. What has most helped me to soften my defenses and to become more permeable are the tools of self-inquiry and my commitment to Spirit. From this exploration my life purpose evolved to help facilitate others on their healing journey towards connection and love.
