Remembering who we are through presence, practice, and community.
"You’re perfect the way you are. And you can use a little improvement.”
~ Suzuki Roshi
Being human can feel messy. Oh, what a messy journey it can be! And sometimes, straight up heartbreaking. Yet we are so much more than our memories, thoughts, beliefs, views, opinions, stories, and reactivities. We are so much more than our historical selves.
Practice is learning to recognize, in what Thich Nhat Hanh called “the sunlight of awareness,” our historical selves. This recognition creates the conditions for something else to emerge. We are imbued with a deeply happy presence. The human heart-mind can sense itself to be sufficient, whole, undefended, appreciative, spontaneous, unique, and free.
We can learn about ourselves, learn to love what we find, and notice what happens next. This is very different from trying to think nice thoughts. For most people, this takes time and commitment. The commitment is not should-based; it’s based on longing and love.
As we listen to our longing, we uproot the causes and conditions of stress or suffering. Life becomes less about demands and expectations, and more about curiosity and the creativity of our innate intelligence.
We become less certain and more available. This availability is a sacred doorway, a portal into awakening to our truer selves. Here the difficulties of being human can be metabolized, and the beauty and potential of being human can appear.

I work privately with clients, offering Hakomi-informed individual sessions grounded in mindfulness and somatic awareness. Trained with the Center for Mindfulness as an MBSR teacher, I serve as adjunct faculty at Antioch University, where I teach mindfulness and compassion-based practices to graduate students. I offer teachings to the public, organizations, and schools. I design experiences for groups that explore the transformative benefits of cultivating presence. I lead a wonderful online sangha called Rainbow Mind, teach an eight-week course, and offer residential and daylong retreats.
