"I'd rather be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war zone."
I am a man of both indigenous and foreign decent living in America, having been partly raised by my time serving in the military from age 18. Now 36, I have traveled the earth, been to war and not only witnessed the struggles of others but also battled my own great war within, primarily within the confines of identity: the very essence of all humanity that is supposed to be born free.
Yet all my life, I’ve been in a battle to feel fully free expressing myself without feeling the need to hide parts of my identity - to feel understood for who and what I am and able to declare it without concern for the judgement of others. Not to say that I am ashamed of who I am, but there are definitely parts of my ancestral line that I have felt stand in stark contrast to who I strive to be and to the parts of my blood that I identify most with. Because of this and other parts of my journey, I've had the difficult task of learning that I truly am...
Free.
...no matter my ancestry, no matter my past, and no matter what anyone else has to say or think about any of it.
I deeply believe in the freedom of all beings- to be able to choose who we are, what we do and why. And yet, in certain seasons of our lives, we can feel there are truths we are restricted from speaking and walking in.
So- in this space, a sanctuary I am learning to build brick by brick alongside my wife, while traveling both within America and beyond its energetic borders, we are allowing our bodies to holistically and energetically feel freedom. By experiencing cultures and lands our bodies have never known but our souls recognizes, we are able to stretch out of the chains that have confined us and our people for far too long.
We are unlearning habits that have contributed to restricting the American people while redefining and uncovering the true essence of the dreams of our ancestors fought so hard to reclaim.
They knew better because their bones... their spirits remembered freedom- and so do mine.
I choose to stand up for those who find it difficult or impossible to fight for themselves and their freedom, by learning what it is to embody freedom both within the strength, stamina and courage of my body and by the might of my Spirit.
So… if you are here because you are tired of being held back by the chains of a societally imposed identity, trying to tell you to conform or you won’t be free- then I welcome you to the Truth and the holistic breaking of those lies. And if this is the first time you’re hearing such words, I hope it sparks within you the same flame of wisdom that True Freedom ignited within me.
This is a place, I hope you feel welcome to ask questions… to seek and feel empowered to battle for deeper understanding… and to find Your Way to peace, prosperity, abundance and a shackle free existence.
Upon this Mountain, within the Spirit & Source of Freedom- the same freedom all of our indigenous ancestors knew and lived within by the whispers and strength of the wind, the medicine of plants and a strong Connection to the divine, we hope you find safety, security and the dominion your Spirit was promised the moment our Creator breathed life into your bones.
Join us… for our journey, one we hope will encourage, empower & reSource Your Own.
