CURRENT MISSION

I'm alive! Yay! With a growing attitude of gratitude and yearning for discovery. I realize that I never know what is coming around the corner from moment to moment so I enjoy being present and taking things one step at a time.

ABOUT ME

I am a kind and thoughtful man, with deep core values of: Integrity, Respect, Honesty, Love, Peace. I'm exploring life's teachings, with a serious interest in contemplative traditions and embodied spirituality. I enjoy connecting with friends, whether it's a conversation over tea, dancing, or my favourite; a nature walk/hike/adventure.
I don't "party" with alcohol or drugs, I prefer the clarity of sober presence (I will have a beer or a glass of wine.. on rare occasions). I have a healthy sense of adventure and like going out in the wilderness often. I spend alot of time alone exploring and sitting in the woods or canoeing on lakes and rivers. It supports me in connecting with and uncovering my natural self.. which is what my deepest intention is.

PHILOSOPHY

All of life's experiences are opportunities for our growth/evolution if we are willing to see them that way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to mutually share/explore what I've learned/discovered along my spiritual/life path and hear/learn about your own discoveries.

I could teach some photography skills. I'm a an enthusiastic amateur (having sold some photography) with quite a bit of experience and some photography school under my belt. Skills are important and being present is the key to great photos! You can take a look at my Instagram account if you like. Search for "@noticingmoments"
