Stephen Dinan is a gem.  He speaks very coherently on global politics, our collective evolution and spirituality.  My sense is he has powerful perspectives on what is emerging and where we need to go as a human family. Stephen is founder and CEO of the Shift Network, the global movement to empower a shift in […]

Wanna do some real personal development? It won’t be sexy

By on June 16, 2015 in Conscious leadership, Inner work, Presence

Real personal development is often about taking radical action in the areas that we are least oriented towards. We’re so more inclined to add more to the areas that we already are pretty accomplished at, or least pay good attention to. The business person who takes another seminar on building a business.

I remember being introduced to the idea of Parkour or urban free running by the teacher who did more than any other in my life to galvinize my path of personal growth, the remarkable Andy Fisher.  Having left the circus to come teach, Andy had an amazing story and a breadth to his professional interests which was […]

By on September 23, 2014 in Full spectrum living, Inner work, Lifestyle
