Inspiration is a key component of our lived experience.

I look to myself, others, the natural world, art, design and culture for glimpses of those expansive moments I call inspiration. Below are various people who have inspired my personal growth, Healing Arts practices and beyond. I offer these videos as glimpses into other perspectives, other ways of being. Little nuggets of wisdom to fully digest or takeaway a lil' something. Sometimes just one word spoken by another person creates a ripple effect in our lives. This page will continue to grow.
