| 1. What do you see as your primary work at this stage of your life? | Hmmm, my goal is whole human well-being with a focus on the emotional aspect as the first step in the process so that humans become more in tune with themselves and the collective. I have had many experiences in which I numbed with substance and distraction, yet realized that those were simply the modalities I used, they themselves weren't the issue. |
| 2. What role do you see as yours to play? | Guide, facilitator, co-creator, mirror… |
| 3. What goals or aims do you have in regard to the above? | That humans begin to feel good, better, best because when that happens they begin to extend it to others, humans, animals, planet. |
| 4. Where do you feel your next arenas for personal growth are? | Ah, never-ending question…tuning more into my essence ans nature and working with that as it fits into the ‘projects’ in places that I wish to bring/connect to life. |
| 5. And for professional growth? | Create a regenerative business model that supports me as well as my employees/contractors/other humans/sea/ land/ animals/planet (in no particular order) |
| 6. What have you invested in to get you where you are? | Hmmm, so far…surface level investments Working in Restaurant Industry I say all of this because not only were these financial investments, they were preparation for were I am now…hard, challenges that created a necessity for me to look at myself… |
| 7. What fields of learning and which thinkers have been important in your life? | BKS Iyengar ‘Anti-isms’ |
| 8. Can you frame your philosophy or cosmology of life? What role(s) do humans play in it? | I feel like we create our own reality…as within, so without and the inner turmoil shows in our outer life. Humans play an essential role but we have a false sense that we are apex where nature is going to ‘win’ because ‘she’ has already shown the magnitude of ‘her’ messages… Humans are stubborn and think we can control...and believe me, I have had to WORK on that, still am… But if we flow vs force, if we allow and surrender vs dig in and stagnate, we will see more and better results but sometimes humans don't want to listen. |
