HELPING HEAL THE EARTH

We offer teaching and healing gifts

Helping Heal the Earth is a non-profit website offering teachings, recordings, and reflections on the natural world as a sacred space, and as an opportunity for mystery, reverence, and communion with the divine.

The site includes material on nervous system regulation, calm, and inner stillness through the Healing Gifts section, blog writings, and archival recordings.

Across these materials, the work explores spiritual teaching, meditation, consciousness, and the relationship between inner experience and the natural world, offering a quiet invitation toward greater presence and understanding.

Public Talks

These ten brief excerpts are taken from public talks I gave in Tiburon, California, in 2013, intended to introduce my teaching to my home community. I had previously given talks in Paris and Padua, Italy.

The audience was already familiar with my teaching, so the talks became an in-depth conversation. The last entry contains the final questions and answers from the conclusion of the last talk.

 What Is The Emotional Quality Of The Sacred?

During a public talk I gave in 2013, I was asked whether the sacred was an expression of love or some other emotion. This was my reply:

A Question About Emotional Reactivity

I look at the issue of emotional reactivity as an obstacle to spiritual experience.

Questions About The Gods

In my responses to additional audience questions about the gods, I open up the topic of the structures of the sacred.

Spiritual Growth

In response to a question, I speak rather forcefully about choosing to give up our 'mind games.'

The Sacred Is Growing

In response to a question, I suggest that consciousness, the sacred, is growing.

The Sacred's Neutrality

In response to a question, i suggest that our values should be grounded in our shared humanity rather than in the sacred.

Hate

Martin Luther King asked us to not hate the hateful.

Fear

Fear is part of human experience. We all have fear.

Living A Useful Life 

I repeat my point of view about spiritual development and service to others and to our planet.

Final Q and A As I Conclude These Talks

I respond to questions about personal values and spiritual development.
