Wherever I’m, my whole self (conscious and unconscious) is experiencing life. I’m learning to slow down and live.

I used to be a seminarian. For three years, I spent at least an hour every morning praying and learning a specific spiritual way of life. Today, I find spirituality in the ordinary. I don’t need retreats or sacred experiences for spiritual growth.

I look for the sacred in the ordinary.

I’m making spirituality a way of life. I use spiritual lessons to awaken my unconscious self, build a meaningful life and appreciate life more. These teachings, among many others, have improved my quality of life.

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

You and I are more than our bodies.

Our true nature is spiritual. We are here to have a human experience. When I think from Teilhard de Chardin’s “spiritual beings” perspective, I feel a sense of peace. I understand my struggles and joys better. Life becomes a learning experience.
