Adam and Gogo, Brooklyn 2022
I am a father, a mystic and therapist, living in the Hudson Valley, New York. I am an NYC native - my parents immigrants from the Caribbean.
Recently, I was the wellness coordinator for a private PACT clinic in NYC, and a founder of their Social Responsibility Committee. It was an amazing experience. I’ve been doing my private practice for over 2 years now. I have 30+ years of Shaolin qigong practices. Before that, I was an artist, and living a tumultuous, uncertain life. Part of that fantastic experience was a dark night of the soul, for which I am grateful and still reflecting upon.
My life and work is deeply rooted in mysticism. I have been inspired by my own unbelievable spiritual experiences, and by what I have learned during my journey into and out of the darkest depths of my own adventure. I study the Kabbalah, a Course In Miracles, the Law of One, Carl Jung. I love Gabor Maté, Eckhart Tolle, and Mister Rogers. Nowadays, I mark the stillness of my own being, and allow that stillness to welcome the quiet musings of my truest self - the signal of the Soul.
I believe in social justice, in access, and human compassion. I believe in uplifting people, and sharing, and love. I believe that there is a graceful place to understand darkness and suffering. I have faith in the truth.
But what is the truth? I had to decide that for myself, and it took some time. In knowing it, I feel protected. Assured. I feel free, to be who I AM. I get this exciting feeling in my stomach though, because I know that there is even more ahead. Dojng this work is exactly how I find my way towards it.
