Teachers & Mentors
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by the spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
- Albert Schweitzer
I have been blessed to study and work with some of the brightest minds and most loving hearts of our time. With deep bows for their wisdom and loving presence in this world and in my life.
