Phaistos Disk, Crete ca. 1700BCE

Traveling has always led me to rediscover and relink with the ancient places where human civilizations thrived in relative harmony with the Earth. In this current age, where there is a massive depletion of natural resources, precious animal and plant species, and encroachment of human development on the wild places which were once a source of inspiration and plenty for ancient peoples, I feel that we have a unique responsibility to learn from and remember the traditions which are left for our Witness by the land and our collective ancestors. Their wisdom is so direly needed in this age, in which increased technology and access to resources has outsped our ability to evolve ethically and humbly in our relationships to the precious Web of life.

Traveling is also important in these times when there is so much misunderstanding between cultures perpetuated by fear and ignorance, the mainstream media, and inevitably by the individual refusal to relinquish notions of economic and political "privilege" that keeps us blind to our common humanity. Through my travels in different countries, I have personally been a part of several incredible healing dialogues with people of different backgrounds and faiths coming together through circumstance to break down the lies and misanthropic hegemony of separatism that threatens to thinly divide us, unless we can address those issues face-to-face in a respectful and open way.

On a Time level there is, as both spiritual and scientific traditions are pointing out, an urgency in how we respond on an individual, consumer level to the increased awareness of the effects our lifestyle has on our collective health as a planetary community including All Our Relations. Remembering and visiting our ancient places of heritage will help us to respect the role we humans have in the determination of the quality of life that will continue to manifest as we increase our knowledge of the physical world in conjunction with the development of our Souls. The knowledge and ability to artfully and authentically be in relationship to one another and the material world is not so far back in our human history and memory!
