I’ve been thinking a lot less about what I want to do or change (future oriented), and more about what I am being right here, right now. How will memory hold me when ‘I’ transcend this place? But mostly—who I AM being. Right here. Right now. Am I soft enough? Am I surrendering or controlling? [...]

Coming + Going In Freedom
The idea that we could lose something that never belonged to us…well there’s some perspective. All the things are coming + going in freedom. Be kind + allow them this. Accepting that nothing is ever “ours”—as in personally mine, or personally yours. This is where we find peace in mental suffering. In the anguish of [...]
Thriving Not Surviving
What limitations have you placed on your own life because of your past experiences, beliefs, values or preferences? Because of wounds that won’t allow for you to fully imagine all the possibilities for something greater? If I asked what you want most in life, could you articulate a clear response? I find many humans often [...]
Dreamfast With Me
“Let the past die.” As if they are not aware that trauma is like recurring movie. Played over and over. In every cell of our bodies. Deeply enmeshed in our ciphers. For trauma survivors, the past never dies. Trauma is etched into the fabric of our beings. It enters and makes a home in the deepest [...]
Holistic Wellness…What They Won’t Tell You.
Pic: Himalayas-- Sikkim, India “Modern medicine, for all its advances, only knows 10% of what your body instinctively knows” (Deepak Chopra). They won’t tell you this of course.

I am honored to have co-organized, presented at and gave opening remarks at this year's conference. Conference attendees keep asking me to post those remarks...So here they are: In a time when a national figurehead can say or [...]
Acceptance is the Mantra
2018 shattered illusions. 2019 is about seeing without the veils, about moving from 3D to 5D thinking. As the midnight hour neared, they asked me what I wanted for the New Year. I had no answer. What I had wanted more than anything in 2018 did not come to pass. They say the sun always [...]
Self-Inquiry and the Scholarly Life
What is a scholar? They are someone who invests their curiosity, creativity, and full energy into discovering and mastering all there is to know about a thing. They take this thing, make it theirs and claim to hold all the secrets of wisdom regarding the thing. This curious inquiry is born of a passion, a [...]
Gods and Giants.
I always gain something and leave something behind when I visit India. My love for this country knows no bounds. My heart expands each time I have the chance to go here. I went into the country crying this time, and I left crying, both times for the deepest of loves a human can know. [...]
Don’t Shoot the Messenger
In lieu of the latest scandals involving men in positions of power, abusing their power, I have thought deeply and tried to remain objective. When we use one another's pain as a platform for political agency alone, we perpetuate the very dominant systems we seek to transcend. By simply focusing on the actual events or [...]
