James’ Personal Story
I believe there is no higher calling than walking a spiritual path and connecting with a Higher Consciousness. But like others, I was deterred by the dogma and limitations of organized religion until I began to understand that dogma was unnecessary. All I needed was willingness to be still, to listen, and to let the journey take me where it may. It was all inside. Life began to get better and much more interesting.
I did not come to this awareness easily. I only began a more spiritual journey later in life, even though I had been a seeker throughout. I was always looking outside of myself for things and activities to fill up that spiritual void. Eventually, I realized it was in me all along, just like it’s in you.
Stay connected. Stay consistent.

“I have been working with Jim in a professional capacity for many years. I knew he had a passion for mindfulness meditation, yet once I experienced him in this class, I fully understood his soulful commitment to this work. Jim has gifts for many things, but this lights him up like nothing else. He ignited that passion in me and now I am committed to daily meditation. The class was informative, well structured, and I learned a lot. If you are considering a meditation practice, this is the place to begin.”

Jim has a strong background in communication, and it shows as he teaches meditation techniques in a very easy to follow style.”
