First and foremost I am a devotee of the sacred, and this makes me a student of nature -- our own, and all things. I have always been naturally connected to spirit, and as a child had to learn to read people, energy, and situations to survive. I developed a meditation practice in high school freestyling as an emcee, then through Buddhist vipassana insight meditation, with a selection of traditional plant medicine and ritual praxis from the “americas”, and continually through many traditions — ancient and contemporary. Meditation and art therapy, both with professional practitioners and peers, saved my life as a teenager, and gave me power in the world -- as did studying the human condition. I have toured the U.S., Europe, and Puerto Rico with my music, social justice education and healing programs, hosted men’s and young men’s groups, coached, counseled, and collaborated for more than two decades -- all combining arts, activism, healing, and education.
