The Sins of the Fathers
When the phone rang 17 years ago, it was my niece on the phone, to whom I had not spoken in 18 years. She called to tell me that her mom had suffered an aneurysm in her brain and that … Continue reading
The Counselor at the dinner table
If you know a family member, friend, or lover who is struggling with a diagnosis on the Asperger/Autism continuum, or has been abused in childhood, you probably have seen their symptoms and strategies to deal with post-traumatic stress. These adaptations … Continue reading

Dad, I’m Gay!
That’s what my spirit son told me. He had been unemployed for several months and was struggling with his marriage of five years. He and his wife had been living with friends; they were essentially homeless. The mid-life crisis had … Continue reading
Ayahuasca Death
When I approached the young man across the circle, I introduced myself and told him how much he reminded me of a man about his age in the Santo Daime tradition. It was just a hop, skip and a jump … Continue reading

Returning to Life through Santo Daime
My first experience of Finados or All Souls Day in the Santo Daime Tradition was yesterday. It started out in the normal pattern. We were dancing and singing in Portuguese led by our Brazilian brother and sister. The hymns were … Continue reading
