Since childhood, I have pursued the growth and development of both my mind and body in what started with a deep interest in the martial arts. Early on I gained a second degree black belt in Taekwondo (ATA/Taekwondo America Association) having trained diligently for 4 years, and experienced teaching for nearly a year. I trained Capoeira for 3.5 years having taught for 1.5 years with the Canto do Galo group in Boulder/Denver, Colorado, of the American Capoeira Association. My interest in developing my mind and body has since broadened to include yoga, meditation, and healing. I began my study of various forms of yoga in 1998, and am currently focused on Classical Yoga in its original 8-limbed form, in the lineage and teachings of Patanjali. I received my teacher's training certificate in the summer of 2006, from Yoga Point's Yoga Vidya Dham Ashram in Nasik, India. My practice of yoga revealed a greater interest in the healing arts, and I began reiki training in 2001 in Fort Collins, Colorado, under the lineage of Mikao Usui. I completed my Level 3 Reiki Master training in August of 2006 in Portugal.

The approach I take to my practice is an expression of my commitment to my approach to life. I believe this human experience is only fully and truly embraced when from both the personal and transpersonal perspectives. Beginning with awareness of one's self and the pursuit of self-discovery we are brought to the realization of our greatness and empowered with the tools and wisdoms for aiding in the evolution of the collective in reclaiming our spirit. Through a balance of personal practice and the promotion of knowledge sharing, we can amplify our abilities to heal ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Our collective efforts are what will ultimately propel the development of elevated levels of human communication and awareness, allowing us to transcend and liberate from that which illudes and separates us.

Boom Festival - Idanha-a-Nova Portugal, August

I am honored to, once again, be returning to Portugal for the Boom Festival with the opportunity to teach a couple of brand new workshops!

From "I Am" to Manifestation: Memetics and the Self
By understanding how memes, as the content of the mind, affect our interpretation and experience of reality, we can learn how to move beyond adopted behaviors and into our True Nature cultivating Self-empowerment through conscious choice.
In this workshop we will address how thoughts do indeed create our reality as they define the lens through which we see our reality. We will examine, in depth, the perceptual layers of experience and the role of memes in sculpting and determining what types of experiences we have. A step by step model will be given beginning with “experience” and progressively moving all the way inward to the “I am” or “true Self” as defined by the Science of Yoga. Through this process we can begin to understand the subtle layers of mind creation, the power of conscious choice, and how to step into a place of empowerment by recognizing where conscious choice begins. Once aware of how the mind interacts with memes, and consciousness interacts with mind, we can understand how the translation of our choices and actions can be much more effective in designing and creating in the world around us. This will be an abstract merging of a science of thought (memetics) with the spirituality of Self as a potential model for bridging the gap between consciousness and manifestation.

This workshop will be located in the Drop workshop zone. Time and Date TBD

Choosing Bliss

Boom Festival - August 11-18th, 2008, Idanha-a-Nova Portugal

I was honored to host 2 workshops at the 2008 Boom Festival. Below is the program posting of what was covered in the workshops:

"Awakening to Bliss: From Witness to Limitless" Shift your reality from perpetual suffering to unlimited bliss by understanding the illusions of the mind in order to release resistance to what is and step into a peaceful allowance of what can be. Changing your perception about the world around you begins with shifting your ideas about yourself and yourself in relation to the world around you. This process starts by developing a clear and present mind through the continued practice of conscious choice and action. This program will discuss the deceptive nature of the mind and include a guided meditation sharing simple techniques to elevate self-awareness. By witnessing the disserving thought patterns that rest at the root of our conditioning we can transform the way we live through the choices we make, in turn strengthening our ability to create transformation in the world around us. Through the process of developing greater awareness, we can begin to understand how much control we have over a life potentially filled with unlimited bliss.

This workshop was located in the Liminal Village at the festival. See www.boomfestival.org for full details.

"Psychic Sleep and the Mind's Potential " Learn to use the power of deep, conscious relaxation as a meditative technique for effectively imprinting new patterns on the mind and body, harmonizing the deeper unconscious states of the mind, and awakening your inner potential. Through the practice of Yoga Nidra, we can induce a state of complete physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. This takes the mind into a hypnogogic state, the threshold state between sleep and wakefulness, where contact with the subconscious and unconscious dimensions occur spontaneously. This occurs by turning away from outer experiences, then shifting the consciousness to function at a deeper level of inner awareness. Through this practice of pratyahara-withdrawal of sense organs-the consciousness becomes very powerful and can be applied in many ways making impressions on the mind and body much greater and more powerful. This program will illustrate techniques for achieving this state both through a guided meditation and the use of ambient music.

This workshop was located in the Divine Flower Healing Area at the festival. See www.boomfestival.org for full details.

Boom Festival - August 6th, 2006, Idanha-a-Nova Portugal

I hosted a yoga workshop at the BOOM Festival in Portugal following my 3 month sabbatical/training in India. Below is the program posting of what was covered in the workshop:

"Choosing Bliss - Yoga and Awareness" A look at the ever-present opportunity for consciously choosing a life of happiness. We will focus on the importance of a clear and present mind and address our tendency for habitually choosing complications and discomfort unallowing us to maintain a balanced mind and body. Emphasis will be on the importance of applying these conscious states throughout our daily life by using practical techniques based on the 8-limb Ashtanga Yoga tradition including: meditation, diet, cleansing, and asanas (including a "moon salutation" in celebration of the full moon that week). Through the continued practice of conscious choice and action, we can begin to understand how much control we have over a life potentially filled with unlimited bliss.

The workshop was located in the Liminal Village at the festival. See www.boomfestival.org for full details.
