Inspiration & Source Material
“Now is the season to know that everything you do is sacred.”
-Hafiz
My greatest teachers continue to be nonphysical. These teachings are channeled through books, audio, live presentations, and from my own direct experience at the fire’s edge, in what I refer to as “source material”— straight from the source, clear, undiluted and with the ring of truth.
The Inspiration Source Material for personal growth work that has influenced my life and perspective over the years…
Landmark Education. I took the EST training (which later became Landmark) when I was 18 years old, setting the stage for several years of personal growth and exploration through seminars, weekend workshops, satellite events, the 6 Day Course, the Mastery of Empowerment and other programs. This work helped me to grow up.

Outward Bound’s Leadership Development Program, outdoor experiential education, shaped my perspective on leadership and deepened my love of the desert and mountains.

The ManKind Project’s New Warrior Training Adventure for men was a transformational experience that led me to reclaim the sacred masculine in my life. I participate in weekly men’s circles, staff weekend trainings, and facilitate fire ceremonies for our men’s community.
