Welcome
We are living through a time of extreme separation consciousness. We move in the midst of an overculture that has carried us into tremendous fragmentation in essentially every aspect of our lives.

As a EuroAmerican Elder, I am here to address as best I can:
-
Your capacity to ground in knowing that your people once lived in unity consciousness, aware that we are an integral part of all of life and all of life is an integral part of who we are.
-
Your capacity to open to the intense, beyond-words destruction that separation consciousness has wreaked on people of other cultures in your name and still respect yourself and where you come from.
-
Your personal resources for healing the wounds in your life from a metaphorical, mythical, spiritual realm.
-
Your growing consciousness of the personal insights, talents and gifts that are emerging in you that are of mighty use to both your own healing and the wellbeing of the collective consciousness that we share with all other living beings.


Here you can finetune your meditation practice to undergird you in personal, interpersonal and social justice realms.

Concerned about the climate crises all around us? Wondering about all that is ending and looking for signs of what’s emerging to replace the old ways?

Understand the historical and cultural roots of your heritage in a light that empowers you to contribute to collective healing today.
