I discovered Circling during COVID through conversations between Guy Sengstock and John Vervaeke on YouTube. Something in their dialogue struck a deep chord, and I quickly found myself immersed in both Circling and Dialectic into Dialogos. What started as curiosity became a calling—a way of being that has shaped how I listen, speak, and connect.

Before landing here in Colorado, I lived in a van as a traveling singer-songwriter. While my path has shifted from that stage, I still see myself as a conductor of relational music, attuning to the subtle rhythms of presence and connection. My facilitation holds a light but secure container, balancing relaxed and playful authenticity with sensitivity to depth and tenderness.

Philosophy remains a vital part of my life, not as an abstract pursuit but as a lived aspiration toward wisdom. I consider myself to be on a path of dialogical mysticism, searching for the gleams of eternity revealed in the space between us. For me, Dialogos is more than a method; it’s a bridge between interpersonal intimacy and existential inquiry. Through the Colorado Connection Collective, I’m honored to offer spaces where these dimensions meet, inviting others to get intimate with themselves, each other, and the vastness of Being.

This work has done so much to deepen my relationships, ground me in presence, and call me into a living relationship with the ever-present mysteries of existence. Outside of running events, I've been blessed with the opportunity to bring the insights I've garnered from this work into the real world to the people who need it most. I work as a behavioral health technician at an addiction treatment center and also offer one-on-one mentoring and coaching. When not working, some joys I've found include writing, poetry, music, and the kind of conversations that leave you a little more awake to the world on the other side of them.
