Shan means mountain. The temple. A place of retreate and contemplation. Here the hermit recluse monks sit amongst the clouds far away from the land of red dust. Living off ferns and dewdrops, collecting sacred mountain herbs and create elixers which they mix with spiritual practices in order to journey far beyond their mountain home on the backs of cranes and gusts of wind. A Taoist at heart, I seek to connect myself and others with the natural patterns of change, growth and manifestation in our collective ecology. Deeply influenced by Zen and Buddhist sensibilities I am dedicated to continually refining my personal spiritual practice. My role in the GSC is as inspirational interface, mythic cartographer, gate keeper, communications outreach, and post- production consultant. I also do juniper bonsai and garden permaculture feng shui.
