Us humans, we seek validation from other humans. And the bigger the issue is to our lives, the more we seek out validation.

So being human, when I was thinking about ways to share my work with a broader audience, I sought out validation.

One afternoon while having lunch with a friend of mine whom I knew for a very long time, I tried to explained to him what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and how I felt it would serve humankind. He listened and then said. “That is very esoteric. “I latched onto the word. Esoteric. I conjured up pictures of mystery, wonder, knowing, discovering, learning and I felt that ah-ha moment. This was the word that encapsulated my idea.

Us humans, we seek validation from other humans.

So during another conversation with a fellow seeker, I mentioned to him my liking of the word 'Esoteric' for this idea I had in my head. He is a thinker, sometimes I think too much. He asked in his thinking voice (it was via a WhatsApp chat but I am familiar with his thinking voice), “Don’t you think that that word alone is going to exclude many persons from even seeking and engaging in what you are trying to do"?

I smiled. He is so smart. I told him that I am betting on the natural curiosity of us humans. We see the word and just sheer curiosity alone will make us take a second look and that is all I would need, that second look.
My plan was to capture the imagination and draw those curious enough into a world of seeking, mediation, creativity, food, spirituality, and the wonders of plant medicine and healing.
