A full circle implies a completion of any number of external or internal processes. This name first came about in my working with plants; growing them from seed, nurturing and harvesting them, extracting their essence and composting the remains. I would then prepare various products and offer them to friends or at community market places. Hence the concept name Full Circle, from seed to product to people and back again into the earth. I now see looking over my life experiences there are many circles completing
themselves within other circles. The point where one concludes begins another.
My work with plants led into a study of the mineral kingdom. |

| I took up
silver and gold smithing learning how to set stones, to enhance and access
directly their energies through wearing them. I then
thought to correlate the energetic nature of plants and stones to better
facilitate and balance their therapeutic actions on a personal, constitutional
level. There was not much written material available for this endeavor,
except through astrology, I thus began another circle. The study of astrology
opened doors unimaginable to me as simultaneously circles began completing
themselves. Years of seemingly endless studies in seemingly divergent disciplines
now coalesced. One of the themes tying together these divergent disciplines
was the distillation of all manifest action into the four primary elements
of earth, water, fire, air. All action contains some degree of each. This
foundation becomes the motivating structure behind ancient thought processes
and practices. My many years as a spiritual seeker, visual artist, yoga practitioner, herbalist, chef, jeweler, and student of Vedic arts and sciences has gone into this current endeavor. My ultimate purpose in this life is to create beauty and honor diversity, in any way, shape or form, and offer it as an antidote for the dark times we live in. By offering tools that enhance various levels of consciousness giving insight and direction. The primary building blocks for any tool of transformation lies in understanding the energetic foundation of the four primary elements, their actions and reactions, how they balance or imbalance. Comprehending these inter-relationships helps one establish a state of balance and harmony. I sincerely hope this work inspires and elevates our searches for higher meaning and purpose. May your circles of transformation be fully conscious and constructive. |
