Thanks for finding your way here. Whether you’re here to look into coaching, workshops/retreats, poetry, or fundraisers, this page provides a good introductory overview.

Integral Journeys is not a travel agency in any literal sense, but a journey for sure—through identity, perspective, behavior, relationship and environment, and that’s just for starters.

My overt and covert intention is to alleviate unnecessary suffering—my own and yours, if that sounds attractive to you. Toward that end, I offer coaching and workshops that explore the relationships among identity—who you think you are, perspective—how you view the world, behavior—what you do, relationship—with whom you interact, and environment—everything “out there” that affects you (and that you affect, and perhaps even effect from time to time).

So, when you’re wrapping your arms (mind, heart, soul and spirit) around a currently unwieldy issue, task, “opportunity,” or (gulp) person, I believe that your attention needs to be with the individual who’s always at the scene of your unwieldy experiences.  That would be you.

Not that you would ignore the issue, task, opportunity or other person(s), but the evidence is in: until you truly see, feel and hear your own perspective on, role in, and approach to the unwieldiness—until you own your modus operandi—you may be carrying the flaming torch of passion into the gasoline convention (or offering potable water to a drowning woman or man).

Transformation begins with self awareness. Once you’re aware of your mode of operation, you can operate on it. Until then, it operates you—or at the very least, on you. 

My tool kit carries a variety of lenses that will bring into focus your current way of negotiating what’s unwieldy for you, and then offer a new way, along with practices designed to help you embody it.

Integral Journeys is a member of the Waterbury Regional Chamber of Commerce.

At the invitation of NYC Vistage Chair, Mark Taylor, I presented Who Do You Think You Are, and What (in the World) Are You Doing? to a group of key executives on Thursday December 2.

Designed to be an introduction to integral theory and application–with a focus on “the self”–what each of us is aware or unaware of–the program focused on the influences of intention, behavior, relationship and environment on our moment-to-moment awareness. 

In response to the presentation, Mark posted this insightful reflection on his blog.

Thanks again to Alex Havriliak, who hosted the meeting at the offices of Volunteers of America of Greater New York.

I’ll be reading at Silas Bronson Library in Waterbury, CT on November 3 at 6:30 PM as part of the Calling All Poets series, hosted by Victoria Muñoz. The evening includes my reading, a Q & A session, and an open mic.

The library is located at 267 Grand Street in Waterbury. I’d love to see some familiar faces–whether celebrating or mourning election results.

On Thursday, September 30 at 6:30 PM, I will be the featured poet at the Underwood Café as the Riverwood Poetry Series kicks off its Fall 2010 program. The Café takes place at Wood Memorial Library in South Windsor, CT.

Friend and poet Faith Vicinanza will feature on Saturday, September 25 at the Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, CT, also at 6:30 PM.

We would love to see you there.

Both readings include an open mic.
