Personal statement:

”In Process Work I found a paradigm in which process (what is happening) is the teacher; all experiences are valued and hidden treasures can be found in the most troublesome of them. This worldview fit my feeling about life. Being immersed in it has given me a deeper understanding of myself, and the world. The wide spectrum of applications of this paradigm, and the myriad aspects remaining to be discovered, thrill my inquisitive nature.

In my doctoral studies I focused on the application of process thinking to panic attacks. Through this research I have come to appreciate these experiences as potential doorways into unknown aspects of ourselves and the underlying intelligent field guiding our lives.

In my personal and professional life I apply processwork concepts, ideas and methods as I attempt to stay with and focus on the various tensions and difficulties that appear in everyday life, making space for the potential gifts they carry.

I love sailing the Aegean, gazing at the ocean on the Oregon coast, swimming, lying in the sun, sleeping under the stars, getting lost in music, gardening, cooking, doing things with my hands, building, chopping wood, pushing myself to my physical limits and beyond, all of which somehow help me get in touch with the sense of the mystery of life. My life myth revolves around living life as a divination process!”
