ART IS SURRENDER

For most of my life I was looking for ways to relieve the pressure inside me. Vulnerability was a terrifying concept. I was constantly questioning myself, always wondering what other people thought about me.

So I went on a journey. It has been the craziest adventure of my life. But through it all, I found myself in there somewhere. I came to a place where I knew, not intellectually, but somatically, that it was OK to just BE. To live. Without expectations.

I believe life is a journey about remembering what we are, not what the world told us to be. Before the programming. Before the unworthiness, and the shame, and the guilt, and the compliance.

My surrender came to me through art. Through stillness.

I am not a trained artist. I am just someone who remembered what I was capable of. Just like you.

So let's remember who we are together.

Three ways to practice surrender with me:

1. UNMASKED - Poetic Integration

Poetry as Medicine for Integration

Poetry is the container, public posting is the activation, the journal is the integration, the community is the witness.

Growing up, I was the quiet one. The calm one. The pressure kettle. Poetry found me when a relationship rupture broke me down and exposed my masks. Through that I discovered: art is surrender.

When I post poems publicly and document the process — how they arrived, where ego controlled vs. where transmission flowed, what shadows surfaced — the unworthiness wound has nowhere to hide. That activation becomes the medicine.

This is wu wei. Effortless action. Letting spirit channel through without the thinking mind controlling the outcome.

I share this practice on Instagram and Substack. You're invited to witness, use the journal, share your own poems, and gather for workshops. How to join is provided in the link below.

2. A Shrewd Unraveling of Eternity - Fiction

This is a work of fiction set in a parallel universe — one that feels, at times, uncomfortably close to our own. The worlds here are invented. The truth inside them is not.

What if the only way to remember what you are — is to completely forget?

Somewhere in the ancient world, a healer climbed a forbidden mountain alone, carrying more love than he knew what to do with. What he found there, before the fall, is what the universe would eventually grieve.

Somewhere in Oakland, a woman in sweatpants sits in a therapist's chair she has avoided her entire life — not knowing she - just like you - is both the most important, and most insignificant person, on the planet.

And somewhere beyond the stars, a being drinks a darkness so foul it erases everything he ever was — so that he might one day remember everything he is.

We live in an age of endless revelation. Hidden agendas, forbidden knowledge, darker and deeper truths — the rabbit holes go down further than any one mind can follow. And somewhere along the way, for many who are searching, the search itself becomes the trap. The darkness becomes a destination - it whispers - I matter more than you because I know something you don’t.

This is a story about that seeker. About the costs of that descent. About a universe that set the whole unraveling in motion — the sacrifice, the corruption, the forgetting — because there was no other path to the only truth that has ever mattered.

Not hidden knowledge. Not a deeper revelation.

That the love being sought was always the love within.

A Shrewd Unraveling of Eternity is a novel about the oldest question consciousness has ever asked itself: what am I, beneath the masks I was programmed to wear?

Released chapter by chapter on Substack, as they arrive. Subscription required ($7/month).

3. Get Me To Vipassana

Strengthening our nervous system. Integrating our shadows.

GMTV exists for one reason: to remember how it feels to be in our bodies.

Twenty-six weeks of daily practice. Weekly sessions together. Building the capacity your nervous system needs before ten days of vipassana dissolution.

When we stop collapsing under pressure, when we integrate our shadows instead of projecting them, everyone around us feels that.

The collective shifts through nervous systems learning they're safe to feel what's here, right now.

That’s what this is about. Not to tell you that you need to be fixed or that you need to live without fear. But to discover if love finds you when the masks fall away.

Because it will. Not the love you've been seeking from outside to prove you're worthy. The love that's already here, always has been, and it’s discovered when we stop running away from ourselves. 

Twenty-six weeks. Ten days in silence. Then the rest of your life.
