Welcome!

My mission is to lay the foundations of a new civilization by charting the path to a more human way of life — the way to authentic greatness.

I seek to share with others what I have discovered and learned to see, guiding them to accomplish what they never thought possible; helping them develop the eyes to see more deeply, and the skills to live more fully human lives. You see, by profession, I am an anthropologist and moral psychologist, specializing in the formation of character (personality, habits, and virtues) and culture. I seek to give voice to a new — and ancient (indeed, timeless) — way of seeing the world, opening windows to sources of wisdom long forgotten but rich with life. 

We’ve all seen the “the malaise of modernity”, and feel in our hearts the relentless call for hope — for a new way forward, a new way of being in the world. It is my mission to answer that call, to seek out and give a voice to a way of life that frees us to become who we are created to be.

My task is to establish the framework and environments within which people can freely live in a way where becoming fully human and transformation by the divine should be as natural as breathing.

I am on a quest to make possible for others this new world I have seen. I am a bridge-builder and mapmaker, drawing out the interconnected meaning of the things around us to shed light on a world steeped in culture and alive with meaning so that we can together revive the deep roots of culture and re-create that world anew, healing the ills of contemporary society. 

And I invite you, who would heed the call to a more noble life, to join me in this quest.

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring…”
