"Give a man a match and he'll be warm for the night. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life."

​The transformational fire burning within me for many years has been a passion for substances and processes integral to ancient technologies along with their applications towards health and well-being, social evolution and psycho-spiritual reconnection. This ultimately led to a profession as a researcher ... and to the collateral study of alchemy, visionary plants and the hidden history of humanity as personal interests. Some have labeled me an alchemist, mystic, shaman, researcher, writer ( ... plus a few things inappropriate for a public forum ), but mostly I'm just passionately fascinated by life's unbounded multiplicity of expression.

I spend my time, between travels, at my home in the Indian Himalayas or on a tiny coconut island in the gulf of Thailand with my wife Sunisa and daughter Ayla, should anyone care to stop by for a visit.
