About Me


ABOUT ME

Welcome to my "virtual" home, a place where you can expand your reach, engage your truth, and embrace your soul. Those are not just catchy tag lines. They are my heart's desire for you.

My other virtual home can be found here: Be Who You Are

Have you ever thought about where things stop and where things start? Because the way I see it, life itself is a mystery school, and you—yes, YOU!—are living at the smack dab center of the spiral. Think about it. You are the only person you can be sure is really here, really conscious, really living at this very moment. For all you know, the rest of us might be animated props. And so your own life must be your first and final centerpoint. From this amazing place, there is so much room for curiosity; so much of the unknown yet to be discovered. It's nothing short of a smorgasbord of possibility!

So what am I doing in YOUR reality? Well, from here on out, you might want to think of me as a kind of mythological "Troll At The Bridge." (Though not in my official bio, this is the role I love most.) You know the stories. The first son goes out, comes to the Troll standing on the bridge, kicks her off, and rushes on to his early demise. Same goes for the second son. But the third son, a little strange himself, takes a moment to listen to the Troll's crazy admonitions and pack up the talismans she says he'll need. Next thing you know, he gets the goods and the girl.

As your Troll, I'm here to point out some of life’s absurdities that are actually signposts, a few of the dangerous blocks that just might be worth breaking through, and a good many of the dramatic scenic overlooks that make the whole journey worthwhile. I'm here to intentionally speak the language of mystery, assisting you in decoding so many of the messages that come through life's metaphors, our day and night dreams, and the symbols and omens that grace the path. Because if you're not living magically, mysteriously, all-out sensually and most of all authentically, you're going to miss the very best stuff.

That much, the Troll knows.

If you are like most of those whom I mentor and share with, your journey has already taken you a long way down the road, and you are no stranger to self-inquiry. But now you are looking for more...more intimacy, more connection, more expression, more fulfillment and more passion. And you are willing to find it wherever it comes, be it a life-altering trip to the Himalayas or in that small, perfect gesture that puts a sparkle in your step. You are also willing to find it by whatever means is available. It might be through the people you love, your creative life, your work or service to the world, your prayers and meditations—or some great mix of all of those. All you know is that you’re searching for the pearl of great price, and that to find it will have meant that both the journey and the destination were worth every step.

Each and every offering is designed to make you think, help you love, and be a lantern for the next steps on your own unique journey. Enjoy!

All Blessings,

Robin Rice
