The path to a sustainable and harmonious future on this planet is paved by creating a culture of individuals who are internally sustainable and harmonious. Because individuals create culture as much, if not more, than they are influenced by culture.

We are culture, and the future is determined by the state of our present.

Kokoro 心 Heart is a website and blog with a vision that every individual have access to the resources, knowledge, means and support to nurture their psychospiritual wellbeing and treat the root causes of suffering, so that our collective future might be brighter than it seems right now.

I am a dharma practitioner and lay renunciant, a writer, reader, and traverser of passages. In what now feels like a past life, I worked as an editor in literary publishing. Now in my 40s and on a pilgrimage to find the right community for monastic ordination. I have recently started identifying as an emerging independent researcher in transpersonal psychology and the convergence of science with dhamma.

You can find me at on Mastodon, where I am escaping from big tech to do my part in serving the interests of privacy and digital sovereignty.
