This week I returned from the playa! AKA the Black Rock Desert, home of Black Rock City and the magical yearly event known as Burning Man. This was my first full Burning Man, and my second “burn” of sorts if you include the grassroots-organized Renegade Burn of 2021. I’m feeling, fittingly, burned. As though some …

Earlier today I caught myself in a pattern that was totally familiar, and also totally didn’t feel good. I found that I was on autopilot, moving a lot, ungrounded, “doing” a lot while also not really feeling like I was doing anything at all, mindlessly snacking despite not feeling good in my body about it… …

In a moment of calm I come to the computer to write, to let my voice be heard where it will be, to let Spirit move me to express what needs to be expressed. I am a human. I live in the United States. I am increasingly aware that our collective habits of consciousness are …

The story of my experience with the master plant teacher Iboga continues! In the final days of the last decade I had the great pleasure and blessing of visiting Iboga Wellness Center in Costa Rica. It's now been a little over a month since I left, and the ripple effect of my encounter with Iboga …
I am becoming more and more conscious every day, and finding so many small joys in that process of waking up. Today I feel inspired to share a new way that I am observing my life: instead of viewing everything from my own point of view as an isolated being, I can choose to focus …
December 23, 2019. Fairfax, CA. I am at home with family. It is the holiday season. There is some anxiety about "integration" today. Now I'm back in the "real world" and it's time to put into practice what I've learned. Some points of focus: Exert conscious control over the mind, and don't use it when …
Post Iboga. December 22, 2019. I am sitting at the airport in Liberia, Costa Rica. I have just spent 10 days in this beautiful country. I am a different person than I was when I got here. I feel more present. More at ease with the flow of things. A little less anxiety-prone. And I've …
