Coaching style that makes abstract ideas concrete with conscious living, intention setting from an embodied space, along with following the wisdom of the body.
For the past decade, I have used the wisdom of the system to co-create with hundreds of international innovators, visionaries, and executives through personal transformation and integral awakening in their professional, artistic, and personal lives.
My clients include Founders, CEOs, Executive Directors, Physicians, Crypto Pioneers, Lawyers, International Artists, Clergy, and Educators that are committed to living in reality with the wild new world emerging around us, and from us.
In our work together, we will transmute the obstacles in and around your system to enable you to witness your radical wholeness and live an exceptional life.
Let’s co-create the world we are quickly moving toward, together.
following the yes’s: my story of seeking and discovering my embodied self in right relationship
I’ve said YES to being many different things throughout my lifetime - an artist, a sculptor, an executive, and an investor, but I’ve always been a seeker immersed in everything from Animism to Western Mystery Schools, from Experimental Media to Design Thinking.
Whether in the living room or boardroom, I found my practice could boundlessly elevate my life and influence the systems around me. It helped me through my father’s untimely death and company succession planning, move through a void of artistic suffering, and gave me unique tools to create change through my work as a CEO, advisor, and investor.
In 2019, it became clear to me that to serve the world we are moving toward, I didn’t need an MBA, to study more Organizational Development, Coaching, Design Thinking, or Innovation.
What we collectively need is a way to be with the truth of uncertainty in the Human-Earth story. What our systems and leaders need support with, is the undeniable, frightening yet fruitful change-state that is our new normal.
I said YES to creating what it means to be a Systems Chaplain.
trust in The animating mystery was once the running thread in the background of my life, and it’s now the center.
I said YES to fully immersing myself in the practice of truth-seeing by becoming a lay Buddhist Priest, Transpersonal Chaplain, and Pastoral Counselor. Today I’m able to show up as my full, embodied self, combining my passions with the secular world to influence impact.
intrigued and animated by
Social innovation, emergent leadership, systems thinking, deconstruction, paradigm changes, Bitcoin, decentralization, and the mysterious, boundless intelligence of whole systems, and the parts we echo in them.
