This website is about a spiritual approach, path and resources for going deeper to find the beauty, vitality and peace that come to us as we allow ourselves to sink into the gracious spirit that draws us into love’s way — a way of silence, peace, love and surrender.

The name, Bright Water Spirit, comes from a mystical dream I had years ago. In the dream a girl – a toddler in a pink coat – fell into a river unnoticed by her mother. I stood on the other side of the river watching in horror, and then dove into river to save the child. I swam after this child going deeper and deeper into the water, but soon realized I couldn’t reach her to save her.

Oddly, as we continued to swim, the river drew us deeper into an intensity of the light and beauty beyond anything I could have imagined. When we got to the bottom, I had a sure sense that a loving presence was waiting for this child.

This dream has been a metaphor for me about the beauty of going deep and the light that can be found there.

Here, I hope you will find support for your own journey as you seek to live from a place of authenticity, beauty, and compassion. And also find encouragement to see where that leads in a world torn by strife and suffering and, like all of us, in need of healing.
