My Dreams 

Travelling, within myself and elsewhere

Searching for new spiritual horizons

Being actively aware of the many paths available

Acting without prejudice and preconception

Daring to examine the shadows behind the light

Overcoming old behavioural patterns

Restraining from self-injury and rejecting ballast

Working on the past and on grief

Realising the possibilities for change

Experiencing the power of positive energy

Imitating the resiliance of nature

Recognising the potential of every person

Accompanying others along their path

Individual and global peace 

Sources of Inspiration and Support 

Brilliant hues. Strong contrasts. Unexpected detail. Gold, the symbol of hope. Debussy, Chopin, dancing at Schloss Elmau, Tango Argentino. Hundertwasser, Kandinsky, Camille Claudel, Louise Bourgeois, Frida Kahlo. The holy mountain Heng Shan, the Potala in Lhasa, Stromboli, Dumbala, Tikal, Paris. Jesus, Sartre, Pascal, Han Suyin, Nelson Mandela, Osho. The sound of the sea, natural forests, birdsong, children laughing, hugs, self-awareness seminars.
