About Me


It took me a while to get back to this "myspace" contraption, especially considering that my wifi at home sucked balls. But lately I've been a wifi-nomad and traveling down freeways and intersections for the perfect connection. Bring it on baby.

"From my own experience as well as other's experiences, I can say that dreamwork is soulwork." - Unknown
In many, many dreamwork classes and groups, people have become deeply involved in their dialogues, sometimes moved to tears or awe, or realization of truth. Who can say where such an experience comes from, or even what it's meaning is? From my own experience as well as other's experiences, I can say that dreamwork is soulwork. That somehow, somewhere there is a more central part of ourselves than we usually know, who welcomes the chance to speak to us. It is a rare occasion when we first listen, and so we are moved, often profoundly. Yet what could be more natural than knowing oneself? And this means using the known self to learn and relate to the unknown selves. To know ourselves we must know the various parts of ourselves.
A dialogue is a relationship between a known and an unknown. Dialogue penetrates mutual isolation. We have the choice to listen perpetually only to our known selves, or to take the leap towards a relationship with the stranger who stands in the corner waiting for us to wait no longer.
Every dialogue is a reach into the unknown where we listen to more than the echo of our own solitary being.
