I know where I’m from, who I am, and where I’m going.
I’ve come to such self-knowledge by way of initiation in the Sophian Lineage of Tau Malachi. Before meeting him in 1996, I felt, like so many queer people without a safe place, that there was so much more behind the words of scripture than patriarchy allowed. Being received as a disciple of Tau Malachi and his oral tradition of Christian Kabbalah, I encountered direct, experiential knowledge of God, whose Spirit breathed another bible of greater depth, sophistication, and subtlety without changing a word.
Tau Malachi ordained me as an Elder and lineage holder in 2006. I’ve since desired to make the teachings and practices of the Sophian Tradition accessible to many in a dynamic, creative outreach. My experiences facilitating ceremony, initiation, meditation, mentoring, retreat, and teaching with people continue to humble me. The wealth of who we are in God is here for us to express.
I’m committed to the light within everyone and how this shines.
