Projects

Using Pain as the Path: Healing Through Creative Mindfulness

I've just finished writing a memoir that follows my journey to becoming a creative mindfulness teacher, which inspired my sobriety after I served recovering opioid addicts. I'm interested in collaborating on projects that will carry this message to a wider audience.See More

Connecting to Creative Presence for Cleaner Living

This is a self-help version of my memoir, which I'm developing as a sobriety resource. It includes activities and exercises that readers can perform for boosting wellness through contemplation and creativity. As a Buddhist, I'm interested in collaborating on projects that will carry this message to a wider audience, to benefit as many people as possible. The drawings I post on my website were made by recovering opioid addicts and senior citizens in New York City.See More
