A blog to help us wake up fast.
Yoga of Joy
Dear Friends, As I mentioned a couple of newsletters ago, I recently got licensed as a psychotherapist. What I didn’t mention is that the licensing process, especially in the end, was grueling. At a few points I got pretty down. In some of those moments I managed to slow down, go inward, and ask myself…
What heals
Dear Friends, Recently I went on a retreat with some fellow therapists who are also close friends. It was a deep and thoroughly safe space. As the retreat went on, I was impressed by how much each of us healed. During a few especially poignant moments I asked myself how we heal. The answer was…
Reflections on the longest night of the year
Dear Friends, Happy winter solstice! I, for one, am really excited that we are now headed toward the light. Winter solstice, the holidays, and new year’s often make us reflect on a lot. So I thought I’d share with you a truly inspiring piece of writing that I came across. It guides us toward what…
The Full Moon
Dear Friends, It has been a while since I have written a newsletter. I have been pouring all of my energy into studying for my final licensing exams. I passed them both! (Thank you, I will take a bow now… and a nap.) Now I feel inspired to share a Zen teaching with you in…

Here is an excerpt of their conversation. Stephen Colbert: You recently made all the patents for Tesla available for everybody, basically…
My Zen and climate change radio interview
I recently did an interview with Will Sherwin, an MFT, Zen practitioner, and friend who hosts a radio show called Ethical Lifestyle Design. It’s about my attempt to make a positive impact on the world and about understanding that journey for everyone. It’s got good music, good questions, and I hope good responses. Here it…
How to return to who we really are
Recently I was listening to a talk by a wonderful, wise psychotherapist and shaman named Sandra Ingerman. She said something that resonated with me in an incredibly powerful way and I’d like to share it with you. She said, “The only difference between me and you is that I know that I am God and…
Two great tools for healing ourselves and the world
Thank you to those of you who read my last newsletter, and thank you to those of you who responded with so much enthusiasm. You all encouraged me. Today I would like to share a recent Facebook post of mine with you. It meant a lot to a handful of people. For most people though…
My first newsletter
Welcome to my newsletter! As a way to get started, I would like to let you in behind the scenes and tell you how hard it has been for me to write this first newsletter. I racked my brain and heart searching for what would be appropriate, catchy, and profound, but not too profound. Basically I tied myself up into…
