Despair, shame and hyper self-consciousness descended like a heavy cloud, my face frozen and numb. I felt broken and lost as if I had been plunged into unfamiliar territory without a map. The so called 'real' world I was a part of, felt harsh and unwelcoming. My attention turned inwards and I found myself disinterested in the material world. Spontaneously I embarked on the most important journey of self discovery that any of us can make - to find the source of true happiness. 

 I was nineteen years old. 

​

I remember the young woman I was back then and feel great compassion for the pain and torment she experienced. I understand now though, that it couldn't have been any other way. As with all true 'rights of passage' the descent into darkness brings us face to face with our deeply held beliefs of who we 'think' we are. We get to meet all the ways we resist life to avoid pain, and cling to 'our' ideas of what life should be.

​

When one's head is in the tigers mouth, there is no turning back.

​

My souls' task or assignment has been to understand the truth of who I am. To live it, embody it, and share it with others. As the threads of false identification unravel, breath by breath, life reveals itself as it is. Unaltered. 

My life is a 'heroine's journey'. Is the journey of many. I am here to share mine. 

​

Living from this groundless ground of being anchors the work I do in the world. As I step into a new season of life, it's my privilege to offer my hearts' work. ​
