I work as the newsletter editor and website manager for the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology. I have taught classes on philosophy, religion, and ecology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, the University of North Texas, Diablo Valley College, and the University of San Francisco.

I received my PhD in Philosophy and Religion from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in May 2017. I studied in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness (PCC) program within the Integral Ecology track.

My first book — Loving Water across Religions: Contributions to an Integral Water Ethic — was published in February 2019 by Orbis Press.

I have been training in Chinese internal arts since 2006 (beginning with Yang-style taiji and qigong, and over time studying bagua, xingyi, and yiquan) with Dr. Sean Kelly. In 2009, I also began studying Bodymind Healing Qigong with Dr. Michael Mayer.

I have been teaching Integral Taiji & Qigong classes since 2009. I currently offer classes in Berkeley, CA and online. See my class schedule here.
