Human beings have become the dominant species on the planet, the power to shape the quality of existence of all life rests in our hands. In order to flourish emotionally and spiritually, we need to know ourselves, to reflect and listen to the stories we carry within and allow them to inspire us toward compassionate action for the benefit of the world in which we live and all beings we share it with. For the past three years, I have listened deeply to my own stories and let them speak through the language of the arts. If I were to distill the message of Returning Home it would be: know your self, be present to life and find your way home to your heart.
