REALIZATION + ARTISTRY

I am passionate about creating and tending diverse, genuine practice spaces for people 

1) to realize their abiding, boundless nature,

2) to embody their own artful expression of their exquisite uniqueness, and 

3) to co-create real community of belonging, in which they can awaken, unfold, transform, and deepen naturally, and in compassionate attunement and service with others.
