This piece is a gentle ode to idleness—a meditation on the quiet, miraculous fullness found in simply sitting, watching, and being. With the sea as a companion and the sky as a witness, we explore how presence asks nothing of us but attention. In a world that constantly demands productivity, this poem offers permission to pause, to be thoroughly unuseful, and yet feel more whole than ever. Through images of waves, wind, and distant...

This poem is a quiet ode to the cosmic woven into the domestic — how even the simplest gestures can become sacred when seen through the eyes of wonder. It’s a reminder that we are not separate from the universe, but shaped by the same forces that form stars, radishes, and tenderness.

Sometimes, we need to use a different word in order to let Grace in. In this meditation, I explore 'presence' as another name for Self, Oneness, and Reality—so we can deepen our somatic experience of the undivided now. Whether you're seeking peace, clarity, healing, or a sense of belonging, this inquiry invites you to rediscover Wholeness - not as something to achieve, but as something that we already ARE. Even pain ...

This immersive meditation uses the metaphor of a tree to guide us through the illusion of separation and the quiet journey back to our true nature. Through poetic reflection and direct felt experience, we explore how thought becomes identity, how suffering arises through forgetting, and how, like the tree, we can return to the peace that never left us. 

A powerful invitation to simplify 'enlightenment', to see cl...

This track is a daily invitation to return—to yourself, to presence, to the unshakable truth that you are already whole. It is a reminder that nothing in life needs to be fixed or figured out for you to belong to it completely. Through surrender and by offering a radical presence to all experiences, you are guided to embrace uncertainty, failure, longing, and love without resistance. Let these words be a refuge, a steadying force i...

In this soundscape laced with gentle words, you’ll be guided into a reflective and sensory-rich journey through the natural world and your place within it. Blending poetic language with grounded presence, this poem explores what it means to belong to life, not as something separate, but as life itself becoming aware. You'll be invited to soften the boundaries between self and world, and to rest in the quiet knowing that you ar...

In this poetic, guided meditation, we explore the illusion of a separate, exalted "higher self" and instead uncover the wholeness that has always been here—woven into our being, inseparable from life itself. Through guided reflection and deep presence, you’ll be invited to see the self not as something to transcend but as a vast, interconnected relationship—like a forest sustained by unseen forces.

By releasing t...

This audio has been created to deepen my free experiential meditation, The Unbound Self. As you wake up, come into your body through your sense perception and discover how much the mind creates your day ahead of time with ideas of effort and struggle.

In this talk/meditation/reflection, we are asked to stay in bed while we make contact with what is already here through our direct experience, which already offers itself to...

Attempting to fail as gracefully as I can at articulating the experience of our selfless, true nature. This meditation is full of intentional questions that will help you unbind your egoic sense of self from its narrative, freeing the story of emotional pain and lack from its root cause; our forgetfulness of who we truly are. This visualization blends thoughtful music, nature scapes, and the non-dual realization of ‘no-self’ with d...

This episode is taken from my last free newsletter of 2023! The original voiceover can be found on my SUBSTACK, along with the transcript and a poll I've put forward to all listeners.

Thank you for sharing, or f...

Blending psychology, wilderness, and non-duality to take you on a meditative journey into the heart of your self-less being. The colonized mind pollutes our ability to recognize our essential nature by creating a protective small self that relies on the external world. However, we also have a Wild Mind, a metaphor for how natural, spontaneous, and organic our minds can be when we leave them to regenerate, compost & expand thems...

This experience has been wildcrafted from time in the Wild. It offers us a somatic experience of presence, which can help us heal by bringing us down to earth. Nature has a natural ability to ground us which is one of the most important healing practices of our time because we all spend much of our day on screens, in buildings, in shoes, and sepa...

A short talk and poem to help you ease into the foundations of your being.

Don’t waste a pain, a crisis, a depression, an illness, don’t use them as motivation or escapes, don’t get used to them, don’t transcend them but walk through them by releasing them and by always retu...

A poem to help you discover yourself without the external noise that bombards us every moment. We often seek answers through this stream of information, but it tends to not make us feel like we are healed or whole, and often causes a rift between where we are in our lives right now and where we wish ourselves to be. What if we listened more attentively to the well of wisdom we already hold within us? What would bubble up from that ...

Those of us who have been traumatized often find ourselves shut inside protective caves that sever us from our feeling body. Returning to who we are, therefore, means leaving what we know - those coping strategies (caves) - that no longer serve us. Finding our way back home to our soft mammal of a body means giving up the reptile within that keeps us perpetually in fight/flight/freeze mode. I hope this helps you with whatever you a...
