| About Me
|
|
|
|
I am a single woman age 77 I'm in good health and love exercising and sunshine. I work partime as a holistic psychotherapist in my own private practice in North Oakland. I am deeply committed to awakening to and abiding in True Nature/the Divine. I love life, people, my friends, playing guitar, chi gung, singing, and intimate communication with others. My main spiritual teacher at this time is Rupert Spira. I have been on many long silent retreats and have done deep personal inquiry work for years. I was a Diamond Heart student for 6 years. I trust that Life is and will continue to present the circumstances I need to Love and care deeply, enjoy passionately, and learn what is needed to further open to the Divine presence which is always HERE. It would be fun and enriching to share this joy with a male partner, but it is not a requirement for my happiness. I am grateful to know that. |
