Welcome to my blog. Let me introduce myself by telling you a couple of things about me.

I’ve been a seeker and a searcher from a very young age. At 13, I decided to find a way to leave the small, intimate, rural, farming community in which I grew up. At 16, after graduating from high school, I applied to college, was turned away, waited a year, applied again, was accepted and left on my adventure to find the meaning of life.

About Me in My Voice

My journey has taken me through several careers including management, teaching and consulting. It’s also taken me to sacred and energy grid sites around the world including here in the United States, France, Czech Republic, Italy, Austria and Egypt, as well as tribal villages in Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.

My initiation into alchemy began with a life changing experience in 1977 while a member of a TORI community. Since then, I’ve completed an apprenticeship with a practicing alchemist, researched the history of alchemy and conducted workshops on the application of alchemy principles to our everyday world. I’m writing a book that explores what alchemy can tell us about transformation during this time of vast and unpredictable earth changes currently taking place. And my company, Ouroboros Cycle, applies the process of continuous creative renewal to the transformation of our personal and organizational lives.

I hope you enjoy my blog. I also want to hear what you’d like to know about alchemy so post a comment or Email me.
