Who am I?

Who are you?​

Who are we?
 

Be-ings.

On the most unspeakably, wonderous, journey imaginable-

LIFE!
​

I began meditating in my teens and had a Kundalini awakening... I didn't know what was going on, just that I was irresistably drawn to "spiritual" things and creative endeavors.

Once I was introduced to the idea of Enlightenment- of being At One with everything, I was possessed to pursue that.

​

AND

I am a very creative passionate being. Poetry, Dance, Writing, Authenticity, Relationship, Connection, Intimacy, Tantra.
Are DEEP passions of mine.

Over time, I began to notice that a theme of my life has been the resolving the seeming conflict and tension between the paths of:

 

• being at peace, content and happy under all circumstances / feeling whole and complete - not wanting or needing anything

• the path of following one's desires and feelings and inspirations

 

For decades, I vacillated between wanting to be a monk and wanting to be a poet/lover/dancer/artist.

I have come to learn that this "conflict" is very common and one fo the central issues of the spiritual life.

And I am happy to say the tension is mostly resolved... when I am detached and whole- it is much easier to create and follow my inspirations- from an unattached place!
 

My path has been an ongoing initiation. I have faced nearly every challenge that can come one's way in life - and made it through - by some mysterious combination of grace and grit.

I am NOT A Guru.

I am an Artist - seeking to ruthlessly follow and express a vision of myself and life I find from within

I am a Yogi- Seeking to ruthlessly find ABSOLUTE freedom, healing and peace- no matter what.
