About Me
I have been asking myself how I can best be useful towards the evolution of our (humanity’s) collective consciousness for most of my life, beginning, perhaps, when I was twelve years old, and in some ways, going back to when I was six. Asking what can I do myself, and what would be useful for those of us who share the desire to serve, to do collectively. What can I do, and what can we do? These two questions have been the driving force of my life.
Self worth.
Quite some years ago, I led a Self-Worth workshop that was sponsored by the Young Women’s Social Entrepreneurs Association, which was founded by Sara Ellis. It was quite a successful workshop, although all we did was create a space to talk about wounds and scars to the psyche. After a while we did another three-hour workshop. At the end, when we were doing evaluations and appreciations, it was suggested that we really needed to do a full weekend to give the subject the attention it needed, to do something other than just bear witness for one another.
I sat with that for a long time. In spiritual circles, I had often heard the advice given that one should just drop the past. From my own experience, that is much easier to say than to do
Sometime after learning about that process, while sitting in morning sadhana, I developed a clear vision as to how to lead a self-worth workshop for women. The idea of a man, in this day and age, leading a self-worth workshop for women, seemed very presumptuous, and I sat with it for a very long time. I discussed my ideas with Sara, and she agreed to work with me in leading the first workshop. I do not know if I would have ever been able to start without her help and support.
