I’m currently looking for speaking opportunities at conferences and summits.
I’m available for 20 to 60-minute talks, 90-minute presentations, and longer-format experiential workshops. I’m especially interested in working with progressive spiritual activists.
Most-requested topics:
Yoga and Religious Experience: How anyone can make a personal connection to the Supreme Self without subscribing to a religion.
Armed with Yoga, Stand and Fight: How to turn progressive social action into spiritual activism… and why spiritualizing social action matters.
Ancient Wisdom for Modern Leadership: How lessons from the Upanishads can help leaders build better teams and support individual initiative.
Secrets of Successful Storytelling: How to wrap pitches, proposals, and sales copy inside a story that recreates your vision in the mind of your audience.
In Search of the Highest Truth: How to chart a path and recognize the guideposts on the journey to wholeness, completeness, and true spiritual awakening.
