John is a sgwm who loves life most of the time (but he has his moments).
He holds a B.A. in Philosophy and a B.S. in Psychology, as well as a Master’s Degree in Counseling but considers the “life lessons” and most nonacademic readings to be of equal worth (and way more humbling) and usually hella undervalued by others.
He loves to meditate (especially use his camera to be “in the moment”), play with animals, read, listen to music, dance, eat “live” foods (as well as heated), hike mountain trails here on Maui, cook – for himself and friends, share a glass of wine (or a pint o’ beer) with friends/family and conversate late into the night, act lazy on Sundays and watch DVD’s.  He still misses smoking and a few other “escapes” *grin*
He is currently the Clinical Director of Education and Prevention for Maui AIDS Foundation and is attempting to move into a greater sense of integration and isn’t at all clear about his next step – but he can say he’s getting more open to possibilities.
Very attracted to developmental theories like Maslow, Kohlberg, Graves, Beck and Wilber – the “One  Foot in Yellow” referes to Wilber/Beck/Cohen’s idea of 2nd Tier Development.  The color of the beginning of integral  being in Spiral Dynamics.  John’s just stepping into that way of living.  And is here to find out more from others who are living it.
(He loves to get to know new people and reading thoughts of others – so comment!)
