Dear Fellow Human,

As humans, we’re not having a solely physical experience. We exist within a body, and we’re also more than our bodies.

We are conscious beings with desires, dreams, fears, and longings. Those inner parts of ourselves want to be seen, known, and expressed.

When we intentionally tend to our interior lives, this care and attention ripples into our external reality.

I believe every single one of us is meant to live a life where we feel alive and love waking up each morning.

We're not meant to pay bills and die.

We're here to enjoy life and the rich layers it has to offer, but our journeys never unfold in a straight line.

Sometimes, we veer off course, or find ourselves lost and unsure of how to find our way. We reach the end of the map and what lies ahead is the unknown.

Maybe something in your life is ending, and you feel uncertain about what's next.

Maybe you've become aware that things in your life don't feel aligned anymore.

Maybe you feel disconnected from yourself, and feel like you need to remember who you are again.

Or maybe you're aware that you're becoming a new version of yourself.

Part of the human journey is moving through recurring cycles of change, grief, and uncertainty. But we don't have to let the turbulent waters of life overturn us.

We can learn to navigate life's storms with more ease and confidence with each season, and as we change and grow into new versions of ourselves, we can be kind and curious as get to know ourselves again and again.

In early 2024, I experienced three major life events at once—the triple confluence, as I've come to call it.

As the dust settled, I realized I needed to start my life over, but I felt deeply disconnected from myself and had no idea where to begin.

As I found my way back to myself, I remembered all the things I'd learned throughout my life as an inner journeyer.

I came back to all that I’ve learned about how to navigate the unseen. I remembered and practiced how to build bridges in the daily moments of life between the inner and outer world.

I also wrote Where the Map Ends—the book I want to give you—where I wrote down how to tangibly work with your inner world to help you find your way.

So why am I selling this book at cost?

Actually, I'm "losing" money on each book, but I’m choosing to consciously give it away. But why?

There are two reasons.

First, I've spent over four decades learning the dance between the inner and outer world.

It’s one thing to talk about the idea of turning inward and living intentionally from a grounded place within, but how do you actually do that?

In the book, I share real world application of genuine practice from a life lived off the map.

I'm giving this book away because I want you to feel deeply connected to the aliveness in you and the path you’re choosing.

The second reason I'm giving this book away is because I know by supporting your journey and transformation, you may be someone who wants to dive deeper and be interested in other things I create that will support you further.

Like I said at the beginning of this letter, this isn't a gimmick, but an invitation.

This book is an invitation to explore my world and my work, while receiving support along the way.

Regardless of if we journey together beyond the book, I know it will help you gain more clarity on how to move forward and connect more deeply with yourself, and I can't wait to sit with you in its pages.

Sending love your way,
