Hello Friends! 👋
Who I am
I've practiced Vajrayana since 1993, receiving instruction from Dzongsar Khyentse, Bhakha Tulku, Bruce Tift, and Lama Pema Dorje. Thirty years of meditation practice, therapy, and nervous system work woven into daily life. My main interest lies in fully participating in the stream of immediate, open experiencing.
Drawing from Jeffrey J. Kripal and Erik Davis, I consider anomalous experience serious territory for investigation. My writing on these topics blends cultural critique with embodied analysis.
I founded The Field to support practitioners whose meditation and personal work has to survive board meetings and bedtime routines. We offer concrete methods for working with what actually arises when contemplation meets daily life. Genuine transformation happens through integration and interpersonal relationships, not isolation.

The Work
At The Field we work with tantric methods inside the actual disruption of daily life. The practice has to survive your teenager's crisis, your parent's dementia, the meeting where you're getting fired. Vajrayana was always meant for householders; we just forgot that somewhere between the throne rooms and the wellness apps.
Our approach draws from somatic therapy methods and Vajrayana transmissions from the Dudjom Tersar and Longchen Nyingthik cycles. No guru theater. No ancient wisdom marketing. Just proven methods for working with what actually shows up in your experience when life gets intense.
I write from inside my practice, where tantric method meets the disruptive pressures of daily life, including the unexpected demands of intimacy, work, financial risk, and relational tension. Partnerships, nervous system work, grief, desire, and embodied presence all serve as practice ground.
Nothing is left out.
Some posts are public. Others are reserved for paid subscribers, where I write more candidly and share materials that belong inside the more vulnerable edges of my work. Paid members receive private practice notes that go deeper into live edge material, essays exploring the energetics of tantric physical intimacy from a grounded, healthy perspective, members-only discussions where we metabolize the essays together, real-time chat for direct engagement, and monthly workshops where we investigate these methods in a collaborative space.
This is not a system or a curriculum. It is ongoing investigation. What I’m working with. What breaks, and what is uncovered in the difficult places.
What to expect
Essays on sensation-level awareness, embodiment, subtle body energetics, and tantric view
Video workshops where we can co-create new language and reference points for our practice of embodiment and open experiencing.
Practice notes from Tummo, Dzogchen, and nervous system work
Psychological and energetic tools tested under real conditions
Financial markets and personal finance as unexpected training grounds for presence, where volatility, risk, and uncertainty mirror the same emotional intensities we meet on the cushion and in relationship. The work is to stay embodied even when stakes feel high and outcomes are uncertain.
Private reflections and deeper workshops for paid members
Why subscribe
This isn’t a place for polished answers or tidy conclusions. I’m writing from inside my ongoing experiment, while the paint is still wet and dancing on the canvas in ways I can't control. What you’ll find is a mix of curiosity, friction, occasional breakthroughs, and plenty of unresolved weirdness that comes with Buddhist practice.
As a free subscriber, you’ll receive essays and reflections from my experiments. Paid subscribers get access to private practice notes, deeper workshop sessions, member-only conversations, real-time chat, and a more intimate view of the ongoing process.
Your attention, support, and presence make this work possible. I value your participation. 🥲✨
