The Greatest Task of Living
The greatest passion of my life work has been to offer counseling and support to people making life transitions. This is not just work I do for others. In my own life, I show up as consciously as I can whenever I’m making a great transition.
This is, I believe, the greatest task of living.
When working with others, I look to help them make their own life transitions
as consciously as possible. To this, I bring my own passion, deep listening,
and a lifetime of insights.
I offer consultations, counseling, and mentoring.

My Background
I am a physician, an educator and an author. I worked for nearly 20 years as an AIDS specialist and more than 30 years as a hospice physician. During the traditional part of my career -- which has ended -- I sat with hundreds of people who either were struggling with a serious illness or were making their own final crossing.
In 2001, I also started working as a wilderness guide. Two years later, in 2003, I joined the guiding staff at School of Lost Borders. I've guided an array of wilderness programs, with two special interests. The first is exploring how the three phases of a wilderness rites of passage -- death, in between worlds, rebirth -- are informed by my many years of sitting with people who were physically dying. This the topic of my first book, The Final Crossing: Learning to Die in Order to Live. My second interest, drawn from being a longtime student of Buddhism, is seeing how a person can cultivate an open, spacious heart-mind, both by being alone in a wide-open desert and by sitting quietly on a meditation cushion. Both of these interests make up a major part of my newest book The Soul's Red Thread: Emerging, Transforming, Dissolving. Publication is anticipated in 2024.
