For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for people, conversation and personality growth. I believe we don’t just grow as children and adolescence; we can continue to grow as adults. The self-work doesn’t need to be monotonous and heavy. It can be a creative act when we embrace our ourselves with kind attention and when we have maps on hand that help us to understand and navigate the territory we find ourselves in.

The work is to stay in the game which means staying awake to the patterns that run our lives. There is always a new stretch to make, some aspect of our life that needs attention. That is good news because it’s the kind of work that invites us into a closer relationship with what we value most and then discovering the strength to live it.

Ryan’s knowledge, humor, and compassion has made these events a joy to participate in, and an ease in which to absorb, and more importantly, to apply the wisdom I’ve been gaining. His calm, genuine manner lends a spirit of safety and trust, so vital to an intimate discourse on a technology-based platform. Equally valuable are the short meditations we are gently guided through.
