Please call or email me to start a dialogue in philosophy for you, your group or company. I teach and guide individuals and groups personally, or through phone conversations and email correspondence.
- Does living a life based in philosophy seem important to you?
- Do the great historical philosophers appeal to you as models of self-examination?
- Do you as an individual or does your company feel philosophical study and practice would improve intuitive growth, interpersonal relations and goal performance?
- Are you searching for a personal philosophy, a philosophy of life that you can outline and write yourself?
The search for harmony often begins with a foundation of philosophy. Life is meant to be lived joyfully with a daily continuum of philosophical play and insight.
Much of entering into a philosophical life is learning of other philosophers—ancient, west/east, renaissance, contemporary—who appeal to you, or who may inspire you. Socrates and Plato (Socrates' student) often inspire people for their power of commitment and conviction, and their faculties of intuition or reasoning. Plotinus, a lesser known philosopher mystic of later centuries, is one of my favorites, and I am currently writing a historical novel about his life. My background includes all of the major philosophers of the west and east.
I've been practicing a deep philosophic life for 34 years, and I've been teaching philosophy to individuals and groups for over 25 years, having received a masters in philosophy and continuing my philosophic studies throughout my life as a monk and priest. While I have an academic background, my approach and practice has always been experiential and personal. While analyzing the reasoning of a philosophical school is rewarding and edifying, it is the absorbing it as an informed knowledge and forming it into your personal practice and expression that transforms you in all facets of your life: personal, family, career, ethical, spiritual.
One of the highest compliments given to an individual, and rarely heard in contemporary conversation, is, "She is a philosophical person." Or, "He reflects philosophically and acts from that reflection." And this is a profound compliment. For it portrays the individual as educated in the process of philosophy, deep enough to habitually think philosophically, and one who daily translates a philosophic perspective into moment to moment living.
