I have been trained in the healing arts in several modalities, including meditation, Reiki, Body-Talk and more. A decade ago, I became focused on sustainable living and a vegetarian lifestyle with lots of raw foods. During this period I also focused on improving my relationship skills and personal development. I have taken workshops with the Hendricks Foundation ("Conscious Loving"), the Human Awareness Institute, The Mankind Project, Re-evaluation Co-Counseling, The Heartwork Institute, and Sid Simon, as well as many other less-formal workshops and discussion groups. As a result of this work, I have deepened my understanding of myself, gained self-confidence, and improved my ability relate to others in both one-on-one and group settings.
In December of 2003 I moved to southeastern Arizona to actualize the dreams I have had for a community of love, health, freedom, abundance, and personal development. I am also an avid organic gardener and have been trained in permaculture, obtaining certification in 2004.
My views about money have evolved, realizing that money, while not ensuring happiness, is very important to accomplish what I am passionate about. Workshops by T Harv Ecker and Christopher Howard gave me new perspectives and motivation. In 2007 I began a web design and development business to contribute my talents for sustainable and green businesses, and to help fund the Sacred Garden Sanctuary community and other projects. I never consider myself finished with personal growth, realizing that there is always so much more to learn and experience. Find out more about me on You4ia.com
