About Me

Born in South America, living on two continents, and being educated in Science & Technology, Social Sciences, and Humanities, has provided me with a broad perspective about Life in the Universe and the human condition. I am essentially an accidental mystic grounded and guided by contemplative practices from various spiritual traditions, including mainline Catholicism, Zen Buddhism, and First Nations. I possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Engineering, and a Master’s Degree in Library and Information Studies, with studies in Christian Theology and Interfaith Spirituality. From where I am right now, rooted in and nurtured by Divine Presence as a teacher of perennial wisdom, I can clearly see that my life has been a paradoxical journey, a mix of profound and inexplicably joyful experiences, and a fair share of personal suffering and sorrow. Through Grace, I have become aware and have acquired a deep understanding of the amazing potential for growth and expansion we possess as human beings. Living in the Canadian Pacific West, surrounded by astounding natural beauty, I have further discovered that the combination of having the charisma of spiritual guidance and the deep awareness of the human need for love, healing, and meaning, allows me to accompany others on their life journey. Currently, most of the spiritual companions I am walking with come from a variety of backgrounds and traditions, including LGBTQ+ individuals, clergy men and women, and spiritual seekers, Roman Catholic (mainline and monastic traditions), Christian, Buddhist, Agnostic, Atheist and Earth-Centred belief systems. I am continually engaged with the beloved community of people around me, always learning from my favorite contemplatives who are too many to list here.
    “In the Heart of Humanity, not just in the Church, and by virtue of sheer Divine Grace, I am love united – in fact, I am already but not fully yet– with the Energy of the Universal Christ Incarnated WHO sustains Everything that exists in this Universe, for the ultimate good and love of All,” because “in Christ we live, and move, and have our being.”  (Acts 17, 28).
