Nature Art Trash Transformation in Baja, Mexico

For quite some time now I have practiced living life one step at a time. In May of 2013 I left my homecity of 26 years in a camper I named Magic. I chose a direction and let the journey unfold, planning rarely more than a week in advance. The plans I did make always turned out different than I thought they would, so they were usually quite flexible. East […]

Repurposing Creativity: Making the Transition to Adulthood

As I stood on the soft, damp ground in my bare feet, I found myself immersed in the reflective and present moment experience that only an act of creativity can birth.

Why I Choose To Be A Gratitarian

  In response to the many reflections that I am observing lately around diet and food choices, I thought it would be an appropriate topic to pull out of my “to write” list. Before I begin I want to share that you will not find any external sources or appeals to authority in this blog – only that from my own personal experience – which may or may not be […]

A Virgin Burn

A Virgin Burn There exists a world within the hearts and minds of each of us, already here, yet still awaiting to be born. It is felt as a calling to return to a state of being we have forgotten, yet never really lost.

Elemental Awakening

Elemental Awakening This is a piece my partner Jade and I wrote for the opening of our workshop we created last summer for our tour, called Elemental Awakening.

Throughout the ages, civilizations have recognized and honoured our sacred connection to the elements. It […]

Top Five Community Event Creation Tips

Top Five Community Event Creation Tips I am inspired when I witness the increasing courage among individuals as they take a leap of faith by making themselves vulnerable in an act of devotion to their truest self expression.

Ripples of Effect

Ripples of Effect  “How wonderful that no one need wait a single moment to improve the world.” – Anne Frank A question that I often ask myself is, “how can I make the biggest difference in the world?” The magnitude of change required now to steer humanity back onto the path of natural balance is calling forth each of our individual gifts. Indeed, the steps required to repair our home […]

The Story of Eden’s Cove: Insights and Experiences into Urban Community Living

***** The Paradox of Our Age We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We built more computers to hold more information to […]

Fasting Experience: Day 4

Fasting Experience Day 4 Part of the reason I was so intrigued with the idea of personally fasting was because I was hearing such differing extremes of opinions from people before I started. I have heard people say that it was the worst thing I could do to my body and I heard people say that it was the best thing I could do for my body. The interesting thing […]

The Transformational Power of Fasting: Goals

A few weeks ago I read a book titled “The Transformational Power of Fasting” by Stephen Buhner. The thread of ideas he wove around the tool of fasting were extremely thought provoking. The material presented can be confrontational to many people as it touches a deeply rooted relationship within us: our relationship with food.
