My history: My twenties and thirties were devoted to being a wilderness vision quest guide and recovery counselor. I loved leading people deep into the mountains and desert and was profoundly inspired by the courage and creativity of my students.
My early intimate relationships were filled with heartache and repeating poor patterns. I eventually found myself in a seven-year sexless marriage made difficult by lack of truth-telling and poor relationship skills in general.
I then made a deep study of intimacy and masculine-feminine dynamics with personal coaches, numerous workshops and other programs in addition to being in extended love relationships with tantric practicioners.
I created and led workshops in communication, intimate relationship and sacred sexuality and now I am focused on private coaching for individuals and couples who want a better experience of intimacy. I respectfully work with a spectrum of heterosexual, LGBTQI, emerging identity and KINK clients.
Some of my outstanding teachers: Bodhi Avinasha, David Deida, Baba Dez Nichols, Jim Benson, Kamaladevi, Charles Muir and Scott Catamas. The work of Thomas Leonard and Marshall Rosenberg (Non-Violent Communication) and participation with the Human Awareness Institute (www.hai.org) deeply informs my life as well.
I’ve been immersed in earth-based spirituality for most of my life. I’m a sundance singer and I lead sweat lodge and other ceremonies as a member of the Native American Church and I am an ordained ULC minister. I’m also the father of two amazing sons.
