Struggling with Coronavirus Isolation? Look for What Needs to Be Done
Looking Inward Maybe I should say something – respond to all this coronavirus madness and, true to my nature, try to bring a light of hope or some nugget of enlightenment. For the past six weeks, I felt strangely caught without much to say, not because I’d lack thoughts, but because I simply don’t share…
Memes Debunked #001
A closer examination of popular social media memes, pop culture wisdom and famous quotations. A part of my personal Think before you share series.

Open Door Days / Dny otevřených dveří

Remembering “The Chakra Man”
The idea of chakras has been with me since my teens. I created my first spreadsheet listing all their known attributes sometimes in 1996 or 1997. But today, I just came across something I completely forgot about – an open letter to my close friends that I published online in February 2004, just about 15…
Welcome 2019
Toward the end of 2018, I found myself saying “I hope it will be soon over, good riddance.” It’s never wise to wish time away, but the past year was one of the most difficult so far. This time, I wasn’t in the epicenter of some drama, but many people around me were, all of…
Dolphin-Assisted Therapy – Working on a New Book
Dolphin-assisted therapy may be a new concept for you, but I spent the last seven years providing organizational support to Czech clients headed to Turkey to receive this treatment.

Off to Meet the Dolphins
The Dolphin is one of the seven main animal symbols in Value Anatomy, embodying the energy of Love and the Heart Chakra. Seven years ago, I began collaborating with Olda Bureš, the first Czech dolphin therapist – meaning someone who assists dolphins in healing people, not the other way around. Olda spends each spring and…
