Wisdom traditions throughout the world speak in different languages of the possibility of awakening to a state of consciousness which transforms suffering and struggle into self-awareness, clarity and peace. How do we get there? When life itself becomes a spiritual practice, every moment is an opportunity. Every challenge opens us to the next lesson we need; every joy reminds us how far we have come – and about the choices and consequences of where we focus our awareness.

It is possible to resolve stuck places in your life by finding the creative possibilities in every situation. Cultivating practices for staying centered in the midst of chaos and change shifts the interior experience of what is happening even when external circumstances remain unchanged. From this perspective a wider repetoire of choices opens up.  This is the key to shifting patterns that keep repeating.  From a place of self-connection, we can tap into the most reliable source of guidance – an intuitive inner knowledge – without abandoning the filters of reason and experience.  These are the promises of a spiritually grounded, meaning-centered life

“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.” – Jesus (Gospel of Thomas)

“To carve and paint the quality of the day – that is the highest of the arts.” – Henry David Thoreau

“I guess we meet with things when it is the “right” time. I see that in my teaching all the time. The students learn when they are ready, no matter how many times you have given the “proper” instruction. I am ready for what I am learning now. Thank you, and you are still stunningly amazing.”  – spiritual direction client{jcomments off}
