CALCULUS OF LIFE
NAVIGATING OUR PATH TO TRANSCENDENCE
The Calculus of Life is my method (and forthcoming book) that anyone can use to access their higher potential in every field of being. It developed from my studies of music, resonance and various mind-body practices. The method is comprehensive; starting with the physical renewal of health and often extending into transcendental states, including Unity with all of creation.
ENERGETICS OF PERFORMANCE
FOR MUSICIANS AND PERFORMANCE ARTISTS
What do the very best musicians and performance artists do that others may miss... things that most people might not believe could make a difference? Energetics of Performance sessions take you through a systematic series of techniques that top players use - sometimes consciously but more often subconsciously - to achieve peak and even extraordinary levels of performance.
MONETTE INSTRUMENTS
CUSTOM MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR 40 YEARS
Monette instruments are truly custom built for each individual client we work with. They are designed to reduce the interference that often exists between the musician, their higher creative impetus, and their audience—even if their audience is just themselves. Our mouthpieces dramatically improve the performance of other non-Monette instruments as well.

He taught public Kundalini Yoga and meditation classes in Chicago in the 1980s, and in Portland, Oregon since the 1990s. Over the last four decades he has led Yoga/meditation clinics and workshops at universities and music schools on four continents. Artists and arts-oriented people the world over know him not only from his work in the music field, but by his orientation to esoteric Yoga, meditation, and his holistic approach to working with clients.
