Where Leadership and Innovation Meet the Deepest Potential of Love
*The phrase Mastered by Love speaks to a deeper level of the spiritual quest that is found in wisdom traditions from around the world, and to a capacity that is required for leaders and groups to overcome the polarization in our world, and to move together in more unified, holistic ways.
Most of the people who have been involved in this work are motivated to awaken their deeper potentials and gifts, and to explore deeper edges in their creative work. If you are interested, please contact us for a private consultation, to host a gathering, to discuss a new venture, or to join us on a river trip. Or, you may join the mailing list or make a donation below. Thank you.
Individual consultations use a rich, nurturing process of dialogue to explore deeper levels of the spiritual quest, and to move from entrenched patterns that govern how we live into what is truly vital and new. In many cases, we work directly with a life/work situation. In others, we may bring in the guidance of a dream. Cost: Individuals $150-$180/hour, Executives: Corporate rates apply.
"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
In contrast to the traditional, teacher-student model of spiritual dialogue, Michael's gatherings were designed as a rich, collaborative art form that constantly takes us onto new edges, where our deepest, formless nature is embodied in a unique, particular way - by combining silence, deep listening, truth inquiry and dreamwork with painting, writing, music and other gifts that the participants bring. See Calendar for details.
“Michael does not tell me what to do, he helps me to hear the deepest part of my Self.” ~ D.S., spiritual guide
Since 2004, Michael has accompanied small groups into the canyons of southeastern Utah, to reconnect with the primordial thresholds of Nature and with a deeper knowledge within. Mornings start off slow to commune with silence or to capture the flow of a dream, followed by a modest number of miles on the river, but with no idea how each day will unfold, Repeatedly, the setting creates opportunities to explore how to move together as One. Please note that the trips are self guided, so each participant is responsible for their well being and for any choices that they make. September 2023, TBD.
"Those storm clouds above the rim are strangely responsive to the work that we are doing out here." - B.S. priest
Michael has worked as a catalyst and advisor with leaders in business, government and philanthropy to articulate the deeper vision of their own hearts and to launch groundbreaking initiatives in areas such as climate change, grassroots leadership development, children's education, HIV/AIDS, the contemplative and healing arts, urban farming, and creative exploration. Cost: short- and long-term rates apply. Contact for more information. .
"We don't even know what to call Michael, but when anything new is going on around here, he is right in the middle of it." - D.S., philanthropist
Michael's work as a speaker started with lectures as a fellow at Duke University on the challenges of delivering philanthropic aid to grassroots projects in developing countries. As a consultant, he spoke at several EPA conferences about strategies for involving the public in environmental decision making. In 2002, Michael started to speak on awakening at venues in the United States and Canada. He was interviewed in Spirituality and Health magazine for a piece on spiritual teachers in 2017 (https://www.spiritualityhealth.com/programs/5-spiritual-teachers) and on dreams in 2020.

"If I was your strategy coach, I would make provocative conversation your brand, because that is what you do." - D.S., global strategy consultant
