You have a Story.
Stories can hurt. Stories can heal.
But everybody has a story.
Your stories influence your choices, your movements, your relationships...
Because myths give meaning to this human experience.
The most profound questions in life are answered in narratives.

I've loved stories for as long as I can remember.
When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a preacher…or an actor...or an artist. I wanted to tell stories that inspire. I imagined I was Indiana Jones embarking on life’s adventures through mythic symbols. In the footsteps of Joseph Campbell, I aspired to share the world's secrets; mysteries that reveal your purpose and make you feel alive. Because myths give meaning to this human experience. The most profound questions in life are answered in narratives. Your stories influence your choices, your movements, your relationships... Stories can hurt. Stories can heal. But everybody has a story. So, I traveled to six of the seven continents, gathering personal and cultural myths.
I have been broken by the things I have seen. There have been moments of exquisite bliss. |
I have found that real transformation is just one illuminating story away.
I am a story-hunter, a peace warrior, and a Soul Artist.
I am a Mythologist, writing my own story every day.
I want to help you realize your most empowering narrative—a story of gratitude, courage, and Love.

I invite you to be a Soul Artist.
Weaving World Mythology with Yoga Psychology and mind/body practices, I'll guide you home to your inner power. Embark on an adventure of myth, symbol, and ritual. Let me show you the common threads of image and archetype that weave us all together as one. |
असतोमा सद्गमय ।
तमसोमा ज्योितर् गमय । मृत्योमार्मृतं गमय ॥
ॐ शािन्त शािन्त शािन्तः ।।
asato mā sadgamaya
tamasomā jyotir gamaya
mrityormāamritam gamaya
Oṁ śhānti śhānti śhāntiḥ
Lead me from untruth to truth
Lead me from darkness into light
Lead me from death to immortality
Om peace, peace, peace
This mantra may be found in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad.
It is a beautiful mantra for March, as we begin to celebrate the brighter, longer days of sunlight and the fresh growth of Spring. It honors the dawning of the Visionary Heart...and the illumination of the deepest wisdom within.
