#001 - The First Step

After more than 2 decades exploring both eastern (Chinese internal and Daoist arts) and western (stretching, rehab, calisthenics, etc) methods of self cultivation, I started to reduce my body of knowledge to something more essential at its heart, and explorative in its application. I stopped focusing on the techniques and started focusing on which qualities the techniques were igniting in me and my students, how those qualities might be useful in other areas of life, and how they could be pragmatically applied.

I broadly break my approach into 4 main categories: physical cultivation (all things to do with bodily development and care), internal cultivation (bringing the process of opening and releasing into the internal bodily landscapes), cultivation of the mind (including development of the imaginal spaces), and finally exploring the context within which all this development takes place: non-duality.

Join me as I dive into the many discoveries I have made along the way, as well as interviewing many of the super interesting people I have met in my travels and through various practice circles.
