About

First Person

I am the question and the questioner, the singer and the song, the dance and the dancer, the motion and the stillness.  I am the space in between.   I am a friend.

I am a social philosopher massaging the upwards spiral of emergence, and a social entrepreneur co-creating new world commerce through the exchange of experience, beauty, trust and mutual benefit.  I am a spiritual ecologist aligning right relationship within the interconnected and infinitely relational ecosystem of the universe.  I am a holographic architect, co-engineering a more harmonic world.  I am a teacher who is here to empower the embodied leader in every person.  I live the invitation to collaborate with everything.  I choose alignment with the true voice of my soul.

I’m a yogini who loves to dance, a dancer who loves to think, a thinker who’s head is firmly anchored in the heart, and a heart who knows the body as a home.  I am love – just like you.  And, in choosing to be this consciously, I am free.
