"Life is not random or chaotic. There is a directionality, a thrust to life... Life emerges in the simplest form and evolves through evermore complex, evermore conscious forms which are evermore godlike in their capabilities and knowledge. In short, there is a divine intelligence behind evolution and the drive in all life is toward God-realization..." -- John White

About Me

I'm a long-time resident of Sedona, Arizona. To pay the bills, I work as a professional photographer. The rest of the time, I serve as president and chief rabble-rouser of NHNE and the driving force behind Integral Rising, Integral NHNE, Jesus Rising, Sedona Rising, and the Integral Community Organizers' Network.  I also maintain three integrally-oriented Twitter feeds: sunfellow (for NHNE-related news and information) Integral Rising (for news pertaining to the growing integral movement) and Jesus Rising (an early step to begin infusing the integral world with Jesus-oriented impulses -- and visa versa).

I am also the father of three daughters and one step-son. Here are a few photos of my family and friends, from Sedona and elsewhere:
 

 

iSedona Visits iBoulder

In September of 2008, four members of Integral Sedona's Leadership Team -- David Sunfellow, Carol Williamson, Charles Wells, and Steve Schliebs -- made a trip to Boulder, Colorado to meet the movers and shakers at Integral Life / Integral Institute and Boulder Integral. While at Integral Life / Integral Institute, they met with CEO Robb Smith, Clint Fuhs, and Robert MacNaughton. Then they buzzed over to Boulder Integral and met with Jeff Salzman, Ross Hostetter, Nomali Perera, Doshin Nelson, and other Boulder Integral noteables. Later that evening, they attended an inspiring question and answer session with Robert Augustus Masters and Diane Bardwell Masters. The following day, they attended the official launch and book signing of the Integral Life Practice book, with authors Terry Patten, Adam Leonard, and Marco Morelli. In between meetings, presentations and book signings, they also had time to roam through the festive streets of downtown Boulder where they ran into Huy Lam (featured in The Integral Life Practice Kit), discovered photos of Ken Wilber and Robert Masters posted in a local metaphysical bookstore, and toured the quiet halls of Shambhala.
