A rich life of adventure - Inward and outward!

Birthplace Detroit Michigan. We all needed a place to land! Launched my rebellion at 19 after an excellent 9 month wake up marriage ending all illusions of the church and established formulas as my guide to knowing myself or knowing 'god'.

Welcomed in the intentional community of Harbinger Hot Springs CA - A catholic getting naked - what freedom!

The ISLANDS - YUM! I fulfilled the dreams of living in Blue Hawaii only one year later. Found my next teachers that initiated me to looking within myself deeper with my Kahuna teacher Morrnah Simeona and several oriental influences...ah! is this a life story of a wow of how life wont let you rest if you ride the wave at the crest! This segment empowered me to trust my hands - how I love their wisdom.

The crest brought me to Osho, to the sense of community at Rajnesshpuram to enjoy being a European for three years. Each turn seasoning the fragrance of one who seeks to not be and yet to be. Osho...I am still so intoxicated by his nearness.

Alaska Alaska is vast. Alaska so empty of history....so full with animals and nothingness and fullness. I now make drums, from full vegetarian to defleshing stinky hides. I figure around 10,000 bodies taught me how to touch and, are still teaching me so I started a school at the end of the road in Fairbanks Alaska twenty years ago along with Osho Sampatti Meditation Center- the only center in all of Alaska?!

The sandbox has gotten too small in this vastness that taught me to let go of form. Not threatened by throngs of civilization I emerge now...this fall 2008. So, this one who seeks to not be and yet in worldly terms - I take this presence to free fall into the act of total trust - beingness is born.

I now wonder: do I know how to trust? do I now now how to love?

Ah...time for breath.

I welcome connection in my free fall time returning to the bigger web. Community would be nice...I have learned how precious  living alone really is. I have survived many a 50 degrees below zero winters alone. Darkness meditation is a death meditation. It is so enlivening! HA!
