Offerings

I regularly facilitate healing circles and retreats, and offer classes and workshops in a variety of community and academic settings. Topics include: Mysticism & Social Change, Sustaining the Soul of Activism, Deepening the Well (multifaith spiritual formation), and several different courses on the life and work of Dr. Howard Thurman.

I have a part-time counseling practice engaging spiritual wisdom for healing, growth, and empowerment.

An earlier version of my essay "Mysticism and Social Action: The Ethical Demands of Oneness" from the book Anchored in the Current: Discovering Howard Thurman as Educator, Activist, Guide and Prophet is linked here.

For more than 18 years I have collaborated with Destiny Muhammad aka the "Harpist from the Hood." Here is a 26 minute guided healing meditation from our CD "Inner Oasis." (You can hear more of Destiny's work in some of the videos below.)
