 I was born in Connecticut, and except for living 7 years at the Findhorn Foundation when I was younger, I’ve lived most of my adult life in rural Vermont, where I learned first hand about the need for support for awakening individuals out there in beautiful but remote places. In 2002 I had an incredible and seemingly permanent awakening in the presence of Eckhart Tolle. In 2004 I moved to the San Francisco bay area of California, an amazing hotbed of spiritual support and activity, and regularly attend satsangs and retreats here with a teacher named Adyashanti.  Adyashanti has been a wonderful teacher for what to do after awakening, how to live then. The Wide Awake Living website went up by synchronicity and grace in 2003 and now a book is happening also, as well as offering mentoring services over the phone.
In 2006 I wrote a book called “Life Beyond Belief, Everyday Living as Spiritual Practice” which is both a personal sharing and a teaching about how our everyday lives can be our most vital spiritual practice. It is about the importance of living fully what we have realized in our most mundane or disturbing moments.
The book is available at www.awakepublishing.com now, which is my own little publishing company. It will soon also be available on amazon.com.
You are also invited to visit my website at www.wideawakeliving.com, a site of support and inspiration for spiritual awakening. There you will find my nature photography, lots of writing, poetry, links, recommended reading and so on.
