THE HUMAN PSYCHE - CULTURE - CONSCIOUSNESS

Calling all Poets of Life

Your Hole-y service is needed on Center Stage... where

The Human Condition
Is Showing

Current Act:
Actors seen storming the castle (aka earth) at one of history's
more revealing passages, when the extraordinary powers of
human invention, fear and division-mongering are exposing
an equally extraordinary depth of human shadow and folly.

Shakespeare, Jung, Leonard Cohen, the Walking for Peace
Monks, and the millions upon millions of inspired poets,
artists, scientists, philosophers throughout all time, await
to see how we will play it....

A Callout to the Hole-y-Whole Misfits: The Scribes, the Fire Dancers, the Poets, Weavers, Healers and Visionaries.

AN INTRODUCTION:

It is my hope that this website will help spark your own creative ways of becoming ever more human, creative, artfully-present, daringly-inspired, and compassionately-awake to the place we face today as a culture, as a collective psyche called to determine what humanity and our consciousness is called to become...

I've spent a lifetime studying the human condition both formally, and up close and personal... most notably through the trials and tribulations, missteps and miss-takes along the way. Many of those times were heart-wrenching. Each took a chunk of my body, my heart and my buried gifts.

Yet each and all of life's experiences offer the unavoidable schoolroom that makes a human, human. The trick I've slowly learned is how to unmask the buried treasure troves of healing wisdom embedded within the journey and what life presents.

My life's work, like many a good misfit, has taken every turn and trail it could find: early study of comparative western religion and the Bible, to the caves of the eastern mystics and poets; into the holy grail of our worlds' seer-singers and songwriters, and into the academic hallways of studying social-psychology behavior and research methods in graduate school, to the hallowed street art and performance art as social commentary arts and visual bard.

I have gathered a lifetime of curious looking into what moves human beings (individually and collectively) through the trials and tribulations, hopes and dreams, fears and loves, identifications and false gods; through health and illness and the myriad calls to wake up...

I've come to see first hand, first through my own foibles and folly, then through my formal academic studies, later, much more richly through decades offering SoulArts private retreat intensives, to where we stand now at our present cultural moment in time: We are in a very real pickle so to speak! We who are here at this moment in history find ourselves perched at a stunning crossroads for the future fate of humanity ... as for our home planet itself.

Allow me to ask you a personal soul-question here and right now in this moment:

If you were to take this moment in time to pause, look inward, and gather around you all the curious open-hearted compassion you can muster for what you yourself have lived, witnessed, questioned, hoped for, dreamed of, achieved and lost... an particularly at those things that feel not yet whole within your soul...

...what song might you write today that might help to stir, gift, soothe, awaken, shake loose and heal our next human chapter?

This is what I hope that this site, and my life work may help inspire in you now today...
