"I believe that nothing less than a revolution in the way we perceive
ourselves and our world is occurring right now. We are moving from a paradigm
of separation between mind and body, to a universe of infinite possibilities
for the entire organism. My goal in life is to facilitate the growth of
everyone, including myself, through understanding more and more this mystery
called the human being."
