ABOUT
DEBORAH

depth psychologist | Award-Winning author | teacher of meditation

“I think I am called to discover
your curves of curiosity
and to know what brings you to life,
to walk among the sacred ground of your longing,
with a quiet nod and resounding reverence”.

I am curious what brought you here. And I am honored our paths have crossed in some way.  Let me start by being honest. 

I don’t like writing “about” pages. Especially about myself and the winding, often mysterious, paths of my vocational life. 

So rather than starting with a running list of what occupies my time, I prefer to start with what lies at the heart of my work, the pulse that beats through each and every field of study or project or endeavor I undertake. And that is a deep love for humanity. 

Whether in my writing, my therapeutic work, my teaching, or my humanitarian projects, I am driven by a commitment to an ever-evolving and embodied consciousness, personal and collective.

I hold a doctoral degree in Depth Psychology with emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I have studied and taught meditation, healing and yoga for close to 20 years, and believe in a spirituality in & of the world. 

I am committed to fostering a world (internal and external) based in kindness, equity, compassion and humanity.

WHO AM I

(with co-authors Jennifer Leigh Selig and Dennis Patrick Slattery) was published in March 2019 by Shambhala Publications and won the Gold Nautilus Award in 2020.

My debut collection of poetry, entitled Soul Bird : Poems for Flying was released in April 2019. I also provide written, video and audio content for various magazines, companies, and online platforms.

I believe in the notion of vocation as a ‘calling’ — bringing our unique voice and essence out into the world. 

WHY DO I DO IT

It will happen.
Life will break you
into 1000 pieces.

When it does,
remember your sacred work.

Don’t pretend everything is ok,
Don’t stuff the pain
into your belly
and walk on.

Strength is not found
in false notions
of composure.

Stop.
and imagine
your heart
as an open and holy passage,
see it wide and clear,
free of any and all obstructions,
and then let the agony
flow through,
again and again,
it flows,
let it flow,
let it be,
when the instinct
to shut down erupts,
breathe down
into the canal of the heart,
and keep it open,
let the pain move
through you.

voted a spiritual growth fave for a reason:

"Wonderful soul, Deborah, enchanted us with her flying poems, mystical dreams and astral soul travels." ✨

"Deborah's words cut through our armor, because a place within our souls previously hidden is revealed, because, for a few suspended dream-like moments, protected truths peek out, wide eyed and hopeful, only to, more boldly, dance their way out, draw us close and wrap us in an embrace like no other." —Shonali

"Deborah writes with a multi-generational approach to gives a multitude of ideas for furthering and supporting creativity in every day life." —Margaret

"So much emotion coming from each poem, and all of them are most enjoyable. I hope to read more in the future!" —Jim

"They are inspiring, uplifting, and insightful. Deborah’s poems invite me to think more deeply, and honor my feelings as a full human. Her words give me solace and encouragement to continue to share my soulful insights with the world" —Namaste

"The practices within this book are like portals into which one enters a deeply creative and healing space. Without much effort, and in a myriad of ways, we are led closer to the creative force that calls to each of us." —Kim
