CURRENT MISSION

Sharing all the beauty of life one breath at a time

ABOUT ME

life has been a mystical journey , following the road less traveled. My journey included spending time with indigenous cultures around the world. Very much influenced by eastern thought and shamanic practice. Very much of a naturalist and live life in multi dimensional reality.

I had an Inn in Vermont for 17 years but got tired of 10 months of winter and two months of bad sledding. Had a rock shop, gold mine and alternative wellness center north of Phoenix for many years. Got burnt out in the Cave Creek Complex fire in 2005.

Spent time as a monk and had a travel company.
A complex person who enjoys the simple life.

PHILOSOPHY

just breathe. be spontaneous. Live in the present. I live totally off of the grid. solar and wind powered, water harvesting etc. I believe in making as limited a foot print as I can on the planet and I totally embrace others who are wanting to or or living the same way.
