Where I found the tools

In Chronological Order

The Nature and deep ecology of the Ozark Mountains.

The hills, valleys , rivers and caves were my playground . The trees and flowers , mushrooms and the turtles all were my teachers. They showed me that my gifts were naturally derived and intrinsically important to shaping the ecology of the future world

I have an Associates Degree in Psychology\Sociology and a Bachelors Degree in Forest Ecology and Management from The University of Missouri, Columbia

For the past 8 years, I have carved stone and wood with a hammer and chisel. I’ve spent thousands of hours shaping them into timeless, meaningful forms. I remove what’s not needed to reveal their inner beauty. For me, art is a kind of meditation. Some pieces take a day and last a lifetime; others take a year and are given away right after. No matter the art, practicing it helps you discover your inner magic and true purpose.

I have participated in the New Warrior Training Adventure with The ManKind Project I Group, Men’s Groups

I completed the Basic Compassionate Deposession training with Betsy Burgstrom through offering “Spirit Wise”.

A powerful healing workshop that focuses on tools and techniques to help those suffering from illness caused by possessing spirits and that problems they create.

We looked at some of the causes or reasons for possession and the mechanics of how it happens. Practicing age old, and new age modalities for helping both the individual and the spirit find peace.

All of these experiences have led me to what I am offering now with
“The Alchemical Vessel”

This has been an Alchemical Process of dismemberment and re-connection, through a myriad of modalities and stages of evolution. I have come to find that my true purpose in this world is to hold space for evolution. My own and possibly yours.

Know that I am here to help you on your path, as so many guides have been there for me.
