Hey, I’m Rick. I’ve spent a lot of my life studying religion and philosophy, trying to understand what we believe and why. I earned a Master of Arts in Religion from Westminster Theological Seminary and spent several years as a pastor.
Eventually, I left the Christian faith. But my interest in religion, and the questions that brought me to it, didn’t go away. I’ve since spent time exploring Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and Advaita Vedanta. Nonduality especially interests me: the possibility that the separateness we experience isn’t the whole story.
Meditation is part of that exploration. I’m a certified meditation guide through The Path’s Meditation Teacher Training Course. You can find some of my guided meditations here.
This is where I write, share videos and conversations, and keep asking questions about being human. I’m interested in what happens when these ideas meet ordinary life, and in hearing how other people see things.
