Seminars and Talks

I have been a teacher at several high schools and universities, in the New England area, I have also spoken on television and radio, at retreats and workshops. I have participated in many broadcast media interviews, including the national distribution of the PBS film, God, The Environment and the Good Life, in 1993. I was also a speaker at The Parliament of the World's Religions, a gathering that happens once per century of the world's religious leaders. Since 1991, I have served as Workshop and Retreat Facilitator, and speaker for multiple groups and organizations nationally. Most recently, since April of 2004, I have worked with Cross Country University as a facilitator for workshops for mental health professionals working in Sexual Addiction.

Below, you will find an updated list of seminars, talks, workshops, and retreats, that I will be involved in. Please check back often for additional information.
