The Vulnerability Tribe

If you’re coming to San Francisco….
I’m walking through the Panhandle of Golden Gate Park on this soft June morning. The intense aroma of the Eucalyptus trees gently touching my skin through the gentle breeze. The air of the west surrounding me and allowing a kind of equilibrium for my soul – the substance of my …
What’s the Truth got to do with Intimacy?

The Secret Work of We-Mysticism

CCL (Couldn’t Care Less) & Spontaneity
CCL is a term my dear friend, Jeff Carreira, recently introduced to me in one of our many conversations where I’m no doubtedly being irreverent, silly and not paying the slightest attention to what is ‘spiritually pc’.
