“As simply as possible, I define myself as a mystic with a passion for the pragmatic, and the academic. I am devoted to the education and transmission of alchemically transmuting that which individuals have learned to most fear, mistrust, deny or loath about themselves, into that which is experienced as the sacred within.”
