If you have a vision of a world you would prefer, I can help you become the person who can make your vision a reality.

Whether you want to dismantle a system of oppression, attain enlightenment, or both, the obstacle in your way is internalized oppression - the learned state of Fear of Aliveness that leads us to repress our power, expansiveness, and capacity to impact life. I write about Unleashing Aliveness on Substack- link in footer. 

Years ago, while living in a meditation center, I built an equity consulting business to train leaders to think and act from equity. I thought the largest impact I could make was impacting leaders who would impact institutions.

What I found was surprising...

The world is made up of well-meaning people trapped inside systems of oppression, who are unaware that they are trapped, and content to stay stuck. We don't even notice how much we love the weighted blanket of oppression... 

It is oddly soothing to be in a small, confined space with no power, and therefore no accountability. Life appears small and still and we havebeen  socialized to like the simplicity of that. 

But life is very alive. Oppression could be defined as simply an imbalance of structure and Aliveness where there is too much structure and not enough Aliveness. Aliveness exists to express what is alive so it prefers honesty to safety. But, we have been socialized to fear Aliveness so we prefer the structure of the cage. I never knew just how revolutionary it was when Bob Marley sang, "free yourself from mental slavery." He sang those words to humans snuggled up in a blanket of misery, asleep in their cages, unaware they could be free.

I could not have told you my spiritual growth was only inching along because I was afraid of Aliveness. I did not notice my social impact was hindered by that fear as well. As I began to notice how imprisoned I was, my spiritual practice exploded. I quickly attained profound new realizations, one after the other. The realizations were there for the taking all along, I was just too afraid to leave the cage. As I healed my fear of Aliveness I quickly and easily found myself becoming unstoppable. Like water flowing in a rocky river, I swiftly moved around obstacles, following the path of least resistance in my spiritual work and my anti-oppression work. 

I stopped fighting oppression and started teaching people how to heal it with liberation. Today, I make a much larger impact on systemic oppression. I make more money than I have ever made and I do not feel bad for what I charge. I can gift my time to anyone I want because I have what I need. I have healed my trauma and the trauma of my ancestors, and I heal the pain of the planet every day. In every moment, I am in movement, partnership, and co-creation with the aliveness of life. I have reclaimed my birthright; my indigenaity. And I can hold the horror that colonized people dare to reclaim this birthright - the knowlege that we are an essential part of life and nature - in a world where we profited off the attempted erradication of indigeneity. Life can hold it all. And I am life. So I can hold it all. And life only wants to be more alive. So life holds all of me. Nothing can happen to me that does not benefit me. Because that is how I choose to live my life. I cannot control what happens, but I can control how I respond to life. No matter what, I benefit from life’s aliveness. In every moment, even when life is agonizing, confusing, or boring, I am never lost. I am always home. In myself. On this planet. In this universe. I am life and I am unstoppable. I am excited to die and support the forward movement of life and aliveness, for the benefit of all life.

If you don't feel unstoppable yet, you can. The doorway is just behind your fear. Oppression told you to be afraid of life, but don’t. Heal the fear of Aliveness and claim the liberation that is already yours.

You can rest, fight, embrace pleasure or pain. It is up to you. Just be more alive. I can show you the path. It is up to you to walk it but we are all here together. You never have to do it alone.
