My story
An explorer of consciousness and a lover of Nature.
I grew up a shy and sensitive boy, more comfortable observing than engaging. That sensitivity led me from psychology to Traditional Chinese Medicine, and from there to the plants themselves: growing and wild-harvesting herbs, homesteading in Vermont, and apprenticing with Stephen Buhner for nearly two decades.
Vision quests, silent retreats, ceremony, and my own chronic illness and grief have all shaped how I work. Every person I sit with teaches me a little more about myself and the world we share.
Writings & teachings
From the garden, the forest and the clinic.
