Virtual Programs
As a catalyst and guide, Michael offers speaking engagements on leadership and change as a path of self discovery, awakening to the sacred without a guide, and the wisdom of dreams as an embodiment guide. Themes include: risking everything for love, moving from a strong to an unlimited love for the truth, surrender: end of the line, revolution of the heart, a real human being, beyond mindfulness, working with sacred light, and the mystery of no path, among others. See the calendar for events.

Individual Consultations/Soul Work
Individual consultations create a nurturing, provocative space to reconnect with one's deepest Heart and to move through various dilemmas that we face in these turbulent times. In some cases, we may inquire into the dynamics of a life/work situation. Or we may draw on the wisdom of a dream to explore the root of a core dilemma and any shift in alignment that we need to make. Cost: Individuals $150/hour, Executives $180/hour. Please ask about discounts.
"If I was your strategy coach, I would make provocative conversation your brand, because that is what you do." - D.S., global strategy consultant

“We don't even know what to call Michael, but when anything new happens here, he is right in the middle of it (laughter).” ~ D.S., philanthropist
6-Month Program (January 2022)
This six-month program brings together a small group of artists, leaders, coaches, and others to: (1) open to our deeper nature and incubate inspiration for what is next, (2) develop a game plan for turning that inspiration into and actual, concrete reality, and (3) return to our lives to put that structure into action - with constant, subtle refinement. The next program - With Nothing Held Back - starts in January 2022 - .
"Painting is my path to God, but the insights did not translate into my life and work. Michael bridged that gap and more." - B.K., workshop leader
Way of the Heart Gatherings
In contrast to the traditional, teacher-student model of dialogue, these gatherings were designed as a rich, collaborative art form that constantly takes us onto new spiritual and creative edges, where the radiant, primordial Self is embodied in a unique, particular way - by combining silence, deep listening, truth inquiry and dreamwork with painting, writing, music and other gifts that participants bring. See Calendar for details.
"I found the experience amazing and transformative and was not used to so much love ... being so openly expressed." ~ D.W., feminist scholar/poet
