ABOUT

The Essential Truth

My purpose is to help you live the inner truth of your being. Liberated from the bonds of conditioning and patterns of fragmentation, isolation and fear, you live increasingly from your wholeness, from the essence of who you truly are — wise, powerful and free.

Wholeness becomes the central organizing principle of your life.

When you consciously create your life and business, you become a source of love, truth, freedom, radiance, prosperity and blessing in the world. In my private programs, I work intensively with CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs and leaders to integrate the deep powers of spirit into business — to create a strong foundation for sustainable growth and to leave a lasting legacy of practical success, meaningful contribution, harmony and peace.

My published works include two books, as well as two transformational digital programs: How to Rule Your World from the Inside Out; and Become Your Own Business Advisor. I hold an MFA degree in Creative Writing, have taught at universities, been a book publisher, and served on national arts juries. For the past 35 years, I have been a spiritual entrepreneur and teacher.

My deepest wish is that you continue to unfold the miracle of your life and your work, and help to shape a world of peace, sufficiency and fulfillment for all.

What is your deep desire? How will you answer its call?

The expanded version

Everything in the universe has a spiritual counterpart
which holds the blueprint for its perfect unfolding.

Your business is no exception.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve seen many layers of reality simultaneously. There’s the miraculous world we live in, with its treasures of human and natural life. Nested within and around it are subtle-energy worlds, full of ancestral stories, wise Devas, councils of selves, playgrounds, labyrinths — everything you can conceive or create. Within you. And embracing you.

These subtle-energy worlds are as vivid and real to my inner sight as the physical world. I work and play in them as freely, and I know them better than I know my own backyard. These energy worlds have their own natural laws, and their own culture and customs. Gravity has no power there. Time and Space function very differently there… and the laws of physics, which shape our experience of everyday reality, do not apply.

For the past thirty five years, I’ve worked with thousands of people to co-create the lives and businesses they desire. I’ve helped them reach new levels of creative intensity, prosperity, productivity, and autonomy. I’ve helped them cross the border between the subtle-energy worlds and physical reality many, many times, until the crossing becomes as natural as inhaling and exhaling. As natural as the tide sweeping onto the shore, then back to the sea.

The not-so-distant past:

My spiritual curiosity and thirst for freedom have taken me on adventures around the world — through many different positions, academic programs and leadership roles.

In an earlier incarnation of my career, I founded and directed the Spiritual Awareness Centre, a teaching and research facility offering programs in intuitive training, energy alchemy, transformatonal technologies and spiritual development.

I hold degrees in psychology and creative writing, and have taught in the MFA Program in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia, as well as at writers’ festivals and retreats around the world. I’ve been Writer-in-Residence for CBC Radio, Canada’s national broadcaster. And for more than a decade, I was Managing Editor of an award-winning literary publishing company.

My published work includes a novel and a collection of poetry, as well as essays, fiction and poetry in anthologies, newspapers and literary journals. I’ve served on national arts juries in Canada. My writing has earned several arts fellowships and awards. It gives me great joy to share my most recent writing on my blog, and to create a conversational space for the exchange of ideas and discussions that expand our understanding of our selves, our businesses, and our place in the world.

For the past forty years, my home has been in the Pacific Northwest. The beauty of the natural world inspires me – its rhythms nourish and sustain me. I am deeply grateful to live in this pristine, sacred place, and to share its beauty through in-person retreats at my home in Nanaimo, on Vancouver Island.

I’m moved and delighted by music (from Leonard Cohen to Bach); books that speak to my heart (Czeslaw Milosz’s The Book of Luminous Things is a favorite); the natural world (especially the sea); loving friends, and flowing conversation.

My two sons, both grown now and happily creating their own lives, are the suns of my heart.
