“Don Juan had always said to me that our great enemy is the fact that we never believe what is happening to us… when we finally realize what is going on it is usually too late to turn back. He contended that it is always the intellect that fools us, because it receives the message first, but rather than giving it credence and acting on it immediately, it dallies with it instead.”

About Me
This page has gone through countless changes. This version was born when I realized that I am trying to introduce and explain myself – to sell myself. I always felt uncomfortable with that (and it has never really worked) – so no more.
I write extensively on this website both for myself, as a personal exploration and introspection, and as a means to share my thoughts with others, with you. There is no one answer to who I am and what I do, it is up to you to create a context, to take an interest, and take time to draw a picture of me that is relevant for you. It may take some time. There is a common thread that connects the various aspects of my passions, interests, writing & work, but there are no words to describe it.
I am thankful for a diverse life and a diverse set of skills and qualities life has awarded me. I am a yoga teacher, an artist/photographer, I am a designer & I am a technologist. I am pursuing things I believe in. I care about the things I do and the people I do them with.
My life in recent years has been a combination of extreme fulfillment and unprecedented difficulties & challenges. Yet whenever I get tired or down and turn inwards I realize I am doing exactly what I want to do and should be doing. When I turn to face the world in action I face doubts and challenges – yoga? art? photography? technology? startup? business? social? value? quality? private? public? isolate? immerse? Outside there are questions inside there is coherency.
I make my life together with Andreea. She is an aromatherapist and doula and dedicates her work to fertility, pregnancy and birth with amazing knowledge, love and care. You are welcome to visit her Romanian-speaking website Feminitat.

Sweet Clarity
SweetClarity was born from a magical collaboration with Shahar Dor. It displays visual art presentations in large screens that are installed in coffee-shops, offices, shopping malls, etc. Simply click on “visitors” on the homepage and then enjoy the show. This also happens to be the best place to see my photography presented. There is also a back-door for artists where they can independently create and publish their works.

Dharma Online
Dharma online is where I write about and provide services for creating websites like this one. I work with individuals who are driven by a sense of purpose and want to reach others. I support them by creating for them an online-place of their own and helping them find their own unique voice and presence in the hectic online-place we call the Internet.

Bhudeva
Bhudeva is our most recent web-project. In it Andreea and I are documenting our progress as we move into a village-home in Romania. We are facing many questions, seeking many answers and discovering much knowledge and our hope is to share our findings with others who may wish to make a similar journey of their own

FEM
FEM is an online Fertility Awarenes application that I developed to support Andreeas work with women at Feminitate. It was originally intended for Romanian speaking women but since I don’t speak Romanian it was developed from the start in both English and Romanian … which made it multilingual … and it is now available in 5 languages!

Still Creation
Still Creation is my photorgaphy website. It is currently dormant since my life has gravitated away from active photography and the website was too static for my liking. For now, the best place to see my work is at SweetClarity.
