Silvaticus Mundus is an educational and therapeutic project dedicated to cultivating ecological intelligence in the midst of a society misdirected by the worship of machines. It serves to support human development from an ego-centric, consumerist immaturity to a ecological, wisdom-oriented maturity.

Cognitive Immunology and Soulcraft™
We all know that viruses infect bodies, and even computers. But did you know cognition can also be infected by "mind viruses?" Cognitive immunology, an emerging (yet ancient) field of science and therapeutic practice, takes these phenomena seriously.
Soulcraft™ is the antidote to the cognitive disease caused by the complex of mind-viruses clustered under the concept of wétiko. It is the process of evolving from ego-centric being to ecological being.

Yin Online
Offered for free every other Tuesday at 7:30pm MST, I lead a medicinal movement practice drawing from the Taoist philosophy of yin-yang energy integration. The practice is accessible to anyone and can be experienced from the comfort of your own home.

The Center for Everyday Mysticism
The Center for Everyday Mysticism (TCEM) is an educational organization serving to restore and recreate longstanding and ancient traditions of holistic human development rooted in ecological being, natural intelligence, citizen science, and community learning. The core conviction of TCEM is that the mechanical-technical developments of civilizational society have so fragmented and outsourced human experience and social systems that most people are now dangerously divided from their authentic nature as vital elements of a sentient, intelligent world of sacred beings. TCEM seeks to reconnect people and society with the immense intelligence of the natural world by synthesizing perspectives and methods from a diverse range of knowledge and wisdom traditions, including science, socially-engaged and critical mysticism, empirical-immanent spirituality, and the creative/expressive arts.
TCEM promotes the ancient and well-evidenced notion that the best scientists are artists and mystics, and that art is a science as much as science is an art. It supports people and communities in reclaiming their cognitive, spiritual and relational sovereignty and authority from inhuman, mechanical, algorithmic, bureaucratic, exclusionary and hierarchical institutions. This is the path of the Everyday Mystic.
