Philosophy
Road to Self
You are inherently whole, radiant, and powerful. You are an incarnation of divine energy in a human body. There is nothing you could ever do to separate yourself from that radiance.
This is our journey: to remember our divinity. The road to God and the road to self are one and the same. Together, we will walk through the areas of tension, blocks, and impediments that keep you from your cosmic, eternal truth.
Yoga Journey
I began my exploration of spirituality in a traditional yogic ashram. I took a guru, committed myself to years of hard work, and cultivated my desire to grow. Years later, I have now established a robust skill set to lead others on the journey of self-reconnection.
My journey has taken me to healing centers in India, the abodes of shamans in the Andes Mountains, and the universe within. Each step along my journey has brought me a greater set of tools to be able to assist you on yours.
Guide
I view myself as a guide, an usher, a doorman. I am here to walk beside you, point out some doorways, and invite you to step through. You are the one who does the work—you know the way home. I am just here to facilitate the exploration.
Transformation
This is life-changing, transformational work. You will not be the same person at the end of the journey that you were at the beginning. “The big question is,” to quote Joseph Cambell, “are you going to be able to say a hearty YES to your adventure?”

The “you” that already exists deep down at your core. Lace up those boots and get ready to Journey to the Ecstatic Self.
I Dreamt of Flight: A Fantasy Novel
18 year old Bondi Ashborne never knew he could breathe fire, never knew that the government was rounding up people like him and slamming them into concentration camps. No, all he knows is that life as a gay, quarter-dragon in a fully-human town couldn’t be harder for him.
When fate forces him to flee his home, he ends up encountering other Mythicals like himself: enigmatic naga,…
