Welcome to Feri Faerie. Presently, these pages feature my teaching. In the next months, I hope to add more about The Feri Tradition and about Faerie. Please stay tuned.

Whether you're browsing for information about facilitation or you're interested in some of the work that I've done, please take a look around and even drop me a note about what you see or perhaps what you'd like to see.

Teacher & Facilitator

These pages are centered around my role as a teacher and facilitator. I've been doing this work in one way or another for more than 20 years. Indeed, I have facilitated workshops on many different subjects internationally, including clinics on the skills of facilitating. Check my classes page for the types of workshops that I'm currently offering.

Living With Fey

Depending upon your world view, the universe might be experienced as mechanistic, or governed, or (in my case) numinous, alive, and essentially divine. For me, all living things share in this essential divinity. Still, I choose to believe (at this time) that we share the universe with types of beingness that is not corporeal in the same manner that I am.

In the Celtic countries, there are traditional beliefs about beings who are not bound by the physical limitations of time and space, that I am. At least, not in the same manner. Let's call these "The Fey" or "Faeries"**.

I have been acknowledging these beings for quite a while as a distinct possibility, as a part of the grander scheme of the universe. Of late, I've been discussing just how one lives with and works with Faeries with a number of other people who also find themselves inhabiting a universe in which such beings might exist. I hope to offer suggestions on living a working with The Fey in a blog (yet to be developed)

If you're interested in things Faerie, a great place to start is with Eddie Lenihan's Meeting The Other Crowd and A.D. Hope's A Midsummer Eve's Dream. More later, I promise.

**I use the earlier spelling "Faerie" to differentiate from common, modern use of the word "fairy".

Music for Change

For the past few years, I've been developing workshops that involve the use of music: voice, rhythm, movement, and dance as a vehicle for personal healing and change, as well as an act of devotion. I'm deeply indebted in this work to my friends (and teachers and also co-teachers) Jeffrey Alphonsus Mooney, Suzanne Sterling, and Morgaine from Spain for helping me to develop this material.
