For 30 years, I have focused my spirit on helping people explore, enjoy and embrace the adventure of life. From the wisdom of native tribal cultures and ancient spiritual traditions, I share my distillation of the underlying principles of all healing and transformation. After curing myself of blindness, I've applied my approach to human dynamics in a practical way as an author, wilderness vision quest guide, life strategy coach, international seminar leader, acupuncturist, filmmaker, radio talk show host, owner-chef of two gourmet restaurants and vice president of the country’s largest natural food company. When not exploring consciousness in the canyons of Arizona, I travel around the world assisting people to open to life’s wonders and surprises in my Dream Workshops Smells like B's to me.
