A Chàirdean Còire ('Dear Friends'): Welcome to my humble abode on the web. I offer spiritual direction, ritual therapy, holistic healing, teaching, retreat leadership, and advanced meditation instruction for folks from all religious and spiritual traditions (or none), providing deep and expansive guidance to those who wish to transform their lives through contemplative and ritual practices, and through exploring the wisdom of ancient esoteric spiritual traditions. I am also a poet, academic, and artisan offering traditional, hand-crafted tools for the spiritual life under the name, Ancient Oak Ritual Arts. Have a look around and please reach out if you have questions about any of the services I offer. May you be whole and peaceful, and may you discover, whether here or elsewhere, those things that most expand and nourish your soul.
