You’re not lost.
You are becoming.
A Cosmology of Wholeness
Exploring wholeness, healing, and becoming through story, meaning, and reclaiming the Sovereign Self
The Work of Reclaiming Wholeness
For more than four decades, I've been engaged in the work of reclaiming wholeness by exploring a single enduring question:
How do we remember our wholeness?
Along the way, I've been an archaeologist, educator, researcher, editor, coach, publisher, memoirist, eco-spiritual practitioner, and spiritual companion. At first, these seemed like separate paths. Today I understand they were never separate at all.
They were evidence gathered in pursuit of the same question—and part of my own journey toward reclaiming wholeness.
As an archaeologist of the Soul, I spent decades uncovering fragments before realizing they all belonged to the same vessel. I discovered that what I had been searching for was not reinvention but remembrance.
Life has taught me that our most difficult experiences—loss, caregiving, estrangement, spiritual questioning, and unexpected transitions—are not detours from becoming ourselves. They are often the very places where we begin to remember who we are.
My work is an invitation to reclaim the Sovereign Self through story, community, scholarship, and relationship with the living world.
Because you're not lost.
You're becoming.
One Cosmology.
Many Expressions.
People sometimes ask how archaeology, Buddhism, education, research, memoir, eco-spirituality, coaching, healing, publishing, and women's work belong together. The answer is simple:
They are all expressions of the same cosmology.
Looking back, I can see that every threshold, every unexpected turn has introduced me to different ways of exploring the same enduring questions which speak to the way we understand the world:
What does it mean to be human?
Why do we suffer?
How does healing happen?
How do communities flourish?
What is the role of story?
What is our relationship with the living world?
Together, they became a cosmology—a way of understanding our Selves, one another, and the living world.
Over time, I came to believe that we've been asking the wrong questions. The question is not:
How do we fix people?
The deeper question is:
What way of seeing allows people and communities to flourish?
