I practice and teach mindfulness in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. I was ordained as a member of the Order of Interbeing in his tradition in 2013. I am also a student and teacher of the science-based Story of the Universe, told as a sacred myth, in the tradition of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme. I integrate these in my teaching and practice. I’m a singer/songwriter/guitarist celebrating the magnificence of Earth and Cosmos and I make my living as a socially responsible investment advisor. I live in San Diego, CA with my wife of 34 years, Marge Wurgel, and we love eating an Earth friendly whole plant food diet and walking in the mountains.
