The greatest contribution you can make to the collective comes from the embodiment of one's true spirit. It is the pursuit of this embodiment in collaboration with source that guides me on my path. In my work, I support others in finding their way to their truest expression, with the knowledge that their highest path is guided by deep listening to the heart.
I practice this work in combination with my own spiritual practice of sailing. I have lived on my sailboat for the last 6 years. In 2021, I sailed from the San Francisco Bay Area to the West Coast of Mexico. I spend much of my time sailing the coastal waters here and traveling elsewhere overland.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
The revelatory discovery of my life has been learning to let go of how I should be so I could embrace who I am. I have spent many years in pain, suffering, depression and addiction caused from trying to be someone I am not and fit in to a society that is sick. My healing has come from allowing myself to let go of rules and conditioning and agreements that prevented me from knowing and expressing who I am. What we have to contribute comes from following the call of our hearts. The courage to follow that call leads us to a life we craft for our own pleasure in collaboration with source. Following the call of my heart has led me to a paradise beyond my own comprehension or design. As a spiritual counselor and sailor, I live on the ocean, develop my own spiritual practice, do meaningful work, play, commune with nature, experience magic and support others in attuning to their own spirit.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
My spiritual practice and the work I do with clients is my creative practice. I am also trained as an artist and see my spiritual work as an extension of the work I started in relational aesthetics and conceptual art. I also love to play, to experience, to see and connect to spirit as I move through the world every day, which is a creative practice in itself.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I am drawn to create community, to align with and share others who are drawn to lead deep, meaningful, spiritual lives. I am curious about others' practices and viewpoints, and have an affinity for the creation of experiences where those of diverse backgrounds can break bread together and form new bonds. I have years of experience teaching energy medicine and meditation, and facilitating energy and spiritual healings one on one and for groups. I would love to share these skills with anyone called to the practice.
