The Journey Continues…
If you’re interested in deepening your spiritual understanding, I am happy to share with you what I have learned and assist you in your own development. My own path and influences can be gleaned from the (short) list of teachers/teachings below that I have personally found to be profoundly authentic and useful in furthering my own progress. For the most part, my philosophy can be summed up in the words of Samuel Sagan: “See for yourself, know for yourself.”
I look forward to growing with you!
