When I am attentive, and willing to suspend my beliefs and knowledge for a moment, every encounter becomes my classroom, every person a teacher.

My work is a marriage of my history and my aspiration to serve in the

very best way I can. I have been extremely privileged to have learned

from great teachers, starting with my Italian family with whom I loved,      laughed, cried, danced, sang and savored food and beauty.

As a child, my mother taught me to waltz.

In her final stages of dementia, I led her in a waltz.  

This was a great teaching -

To dance, which I continue with great passion,

And to learn to offer what seems to be

the most generous gift for a particular moment

     "It is a sad and beautiful world"     

Italian actor, Roberto Benigni   

Two of my most powerful teachers from the last decade include - 

Students of Chogyam Trungpe Rinpoche, founder of Shambhala  Meditation Centers, their wisdom, humor and compassionate actions gained by study, and the practice of doing nothing with great intention 

and 

Julio Olalla, founder of Newfield Network, International School of Ontological Life and Organizational Coaching, a passionate and brilliant Chilean man who, through his determination and open    heart and mind, has worked to bring forth his own intelligence, so he can actively serve humanity and teach us to do the same, 

and who also taught me to dance

I invite you to dance with me 

Contact me. The first dance is on me.  

I am always inspired, deepened,and cheered by working with

the Newfield Network. They don't just talk about  interrelatedness

or systems thinking or creativity.  They live it!
