I was raised by the gentle and wild landscape of coastal California, where lush trees and grasses intertwine and cover soft and fragrant soil, and the echo of the tumultuous ocean carving the cliffside can be heard all around. The sounds of the Earth and its inhabitants glide through the air, and the pacing of this land’s life, growth, and rest slows time until I feel my breath deepening, my thoughts surrendering to the spacious quiet, and my footsteps falling more slowly as my feet widen in contact with the ground. 

This is the way of living that makes the most sense to me. I believe that it is our inheritance as embodied beings to feel the rich sensuality of this world, to move slowly enough to be moved, and to feel as connected to our world as it is inherently connected to itself. 

I have dedicated my life to being moved and moveable. I feel that we are all vessels for some kind of beauty that wants to be shared in the world, and the more deeply we can listen, the more clearly we can align with what wants to embody through us. I serve life by lovingly disarming the sticky and rigid pieces that keep us in familiar grooves, and joyfully inviting the radiance that I see.

I am devoted to my sensitivity and nurturing the sensitivity in others, so that we may all feel the world deeply and engage in the sacredness of this life.
