I am a work in progress! I have the distinction of being one of the first openly-gay, non-theistic Franciscan contemplatives to serve as the archbishop-exarch over a postmodern Gnostic Catholic faith community (whose apostolic succession is derived from the Mar Thoma, Syrian Orthodox, Anglican and Old Catholic traditions). I am an ordained Buddhist contemplative, spiritual teacher, New Thought practitioner, and author of numerous books, including "The Dharma of Compassion", "Tea & Dharma", "Songs of the Night Skies", "Awakening: Living the Dharma of Compassion" and "Sunyata: the Transformative Power of Emptiness".

As the Spiritual Director of the Contemplative Order of Compassion, it is my sincere hope that these books help you discover the path of non-suffering, non-attachment and non-violence, and that your life be filled with love and mindfulness. Namaste!
