Principles

Assumptions behind my life and work:

We are dreaming into being a world that is socially just, ecologically regenerative, and spiritually connected. 

I believe that the inner state we cultivate is the ground for the world that we create.

Gaian Consciousness. We feel that we are all part of a living and self-organizing system that we call Gaia, and that the intelligence of this system moves through the consciousness of each individual.

Interbeing. We see that we are all connected processes in motion. There are no solitary cells. We are all part of one dance of interbeing and every action impacts the whole system.

Ayni or Balanced Exchange.  Harmony in the system relies on balanced exchange, or ayni.  Rather than engage in consumerism,  we seek to turn an attuned ear to listening to feedback in all directions and to open channels of giving and receiving. 

Integrity.  The health of the system relies on being true to its own form.  We seek to build integrity into the structures of our inner and outer worlds.  It starts with truth in our actions, speech, and how we show up.

Humility to Life.  Life itself is the great teacher.  In every moment, we invite humility of personal attachments and stories to let this teacher show us what is our true nature. 

Friendship. At the core of our web of relations is friendship, the balance of intimacy and interdepedency in which we learn through others about who we are. 

Ceremony.  We create containers for connecting with spiritual guidance and we feel that Life is a ceremony.

Other Simple Axioms I work by:

Play 

Play leads to openness which leads to new discoveries, new learning, new choices, and transformation

Devotion

When we work together, we are on a team making an extraordinary journey of asking real questions, facing hard truths, and embracing the richness of being alive.

Full Responsibility

No Rx’s, No Rules. Our journey is not following a prescribed set of steps but taps on your own inner wisdom and intelligence to set a course unique to you.

Trust

The psyche, like nature, is a self-organizing system. We are naturally driven to learn, evolve, discover, and grow to higher levels when we remove fear and limiting beliefs and connect with our own vital energy.

Dynamic Balance

The zone of creative genius is always moving, between will and allowance, spontaneity and control, structure and flow. Its balance is always in movement. We must learn to feel the center zone within us.

Results Reflect Commitments

Results reveal commitments, conscious and unconscious. Want to see what you’re committed to? Look at your life. Want to expand your life? Let’s expand your commitments, and let some go altogether to enter the space of full presence.

Infinite Creativity 

All situations are navigable in life, sometimes we must think outside the box.

Empathic Joy

When you succeed, I succeed. When someone across the world awakens, I awaken.

Community

We grow in the context of community, we fuel eat other and learn from each other. We don’t do this in isolation. 

Integration 

Earth-based indigenous traditions see body-mind-spirit-community-environment as one interconnected system. Health and vibrancy require harmony among our whole being on ever level.

Circulation

By removing blockages and rigidities within a safe container, the system will stabilize at higher levels of organization.

Flow 

Connection to source and discovery of soul exist in creative flow.
