My work is not based on any particular spirituality, religious faith or belief system, though I draw freely from both, tradition, as well as from modern psychology. I invite you to be open to discovering what works for and resonates with you. This work is as much about the irrational as it is about the rational. The questions we are dealing with are ageless. The answers evolve over time, but we don't have to reinvent the wheel.

I don’t believe in quick fixes or magic pills—and I don’t have any to offer. Change takes time and effort, although breakthroughs can happen suddenly, in the readiness of time as a consequence of honest work, dedicated practice and approaching challenges lightheartedly. This work is about developing virtues, not learning better tricks.

Becoming whole and authentic is not about wish fulfillment or inventing the next grandiose version of ourselves, then trying to live up to that new standard. It’s about stripping away the false ideas that limit the inherent goodness and pre-given wholeness of our being. It's not about perfection, it's about being perfect as a work-in progress.

By learning to face and embrace our shadows, we cultivate greater love, compassion, and understanding for ourselves and others. There is no difference between the parts of ourselves and those of others. That's why ethics and non-violence are so important. Until we have learned to fully love ourselves, we can at least agree on not to harm others and also not ourselves.
