From a very young age, I have been on a journey of reconciling what I innately know and what the ‘world’ says regarding consciousness and what it is to be human. Various paths of investigation led me to attain my Masters of Social work, and now, as METApoints grows, I am completing a PsyD (clinical version of a PhD) in clinical psychology at Saybrook University. I loved serving as a clinical social worker, thriving on serving others in bridging the gap between where they found themselves and where they wanted to be. That is still true for me. My deepest joy comes in guiding the disenfranchised home to themselves and their world. I’ve been blessed to express this in numerous ways: first as social worker, then making sure Tantra became fully alive and able to presence all that she came here to be, then in co-founding METApoints with Tantra, bringing that same possibility to many.
As a child, I discovered it was not considered ‘normal’, beyond childhood, to have a mystic’s relationship to life which included being deeply joyful, completely connected to life, and knowing how to dance with God/Source/Creation. I felt puzzled and disappointed to realize that most adults put away their dreams, separating from Self and their own uniqueness in the name of ‘being real’ or ‘growing up’. I marveled how few people comprehended there is plenty of ‘room’ and need for everyone’s uniqueness, and that the webbing of everyone’s reality actually creates the most beauty, peace, workability and true security. Those observations activated inquiries into what has people draw conclusions from which they lead their lives. This was the starting point of the journey of discovering how to facilitate people opening up to themselves in the ways addressed in the work of METApoints. The work of METApoints is such an expression of who I am. It gives me ways to contribute making a way for reliable paths of restoration of Unity-based existence, founded in what connects us to Life and has us exist as whole, undiminished as the vibrant expression of humanity unique to each of us.
In Loving Service,
All my life has been about Healing in one form or another. Ultimately, it has been about healing myself, yet looking back, I see my spiral path has taken me on quite a fascinating journey. From life in Beverly Hills, including my Debutante days and my BA from USC in Los Angeles, I became very aware of how important “meaning verses presentation” was to me. After teaching high school for one year, I knew the traditional world was not for me. In the 1960's, schools for what I wanted to learn didn’t exist, so I embarked on an amazing journey to find the wise elders that knew “the natural ways.” From Asheville, North Carolina, through Appalachia and Santa Fe, New Mexico, to northern California, I trained with some of the most fascinating people [all very underground in those days... 1970's], from their back porches, to word-of-mouth secret centers, to the first energy healing schools in the U.S… Massage, Reflexology, Nutrition, Iridology, Flower Essences, Herbology, Aromatherapy, and Hynotherapy.
Living in a small “new age” community for 10 years in northern California, as a sister community to Findhorn in Scotland, introduced me to Werner Erhard’s est Training, Psychosynthesis, Ira Progoff’s Journal Work, and taught me about the value of honest, clear, and authentic communication!
In the 1980′s, I founded the Holistic Health Guide Program in Palo Alto, CA. I served as the Director of the National Holistic Institute in Mountain View, CA, and designed a business for myself called Life Management Consulting. Although the beginning of the holistic health movement back then was so exciting, an inner push kept moving me to my next edge, which found me hungry for understanding the world of “energy.” During the 1990′s, I completed a 3-year certification program in Jin Shin Jyutsu (an oriental energy healing art), another 3-year certification at the “School for Enlightened Healing,” an intensive training for healers, the “Science of Intuition Training” with Carolyn Myss and Dr. Norm Shealy, and was accepted as a member of the International Federation of Healers.
Since 2000, my work has spiraled me deeply into evolutionary spiritual work, especially through the eastern paths and death and dying work. Having a private practice, which I call “Integrated Healing Arts,” allows me to BE with people and see what’s needed. Feeling very pleased with my life, but feeling another spiral push emerging in the area of integrating quantum physics into my everyday life, I came across a wild, exciting, unbelievably creative and out-on-the-farthest-edge woman named Tantra Maat. Her work was so “on,” yet t so difficult for me to speak about, that I figured if I offered to have her actually teach it in our home, I might “get it.” Well, that started a wildly creative two year adventure with Tantra, teaching me so deeply through the experience of “living the METApoint work” with all these classes in our home, that in January 1, 2011, I said to Tantra, “what ever it takes, I want to support you to grow this work.” So, with my organizational skills, people skills, and thoroughness, I have become the Events and Logistics Coordinator for METApoints Events.
I AM here to serve You!
From a very early age, Sapphire excelled at being different. She thrived in the abnormalities of life, and things that resonated with the extraordinary. She has lived every moment of her life working toward magical, creative, and fulfilling realities as she helps others become aware of their own realities.
At fifteen, Sapphire faced several hard life challenges that led her to Tantra, who helped stabilize and rebuild Sapphire’s life. Several months later, Sapphire started working for Metapoints as the company’s administrative assistant. Since then Sapphire has also become Tantra’s personal assistant.
Sapphire started writing fictional short stories at eleven, the creative act fulfilling a missing piece in her life. At fourteen she began writing actual books, the desire to get published a huge motivation. And when Sapphire graduated high school at sixteen, she was able to truly focus on her career as a fictional writer. Her endless imagination continues to create different worlds, realms, and realities for others to absorb, experience, and become a part of.
Sapphire wishes to live a magical life as a writer and continue working toward evolution with Metapoints, while changing and healing the world at the same time.
I am honored to bring to Metapoints an extensive background in visual merchandising and marketing management combined with 15 years of graphic designs. With a highly developed skill set in visual communications, I have established a remarkable track record and a keen awareness of how to inspire people's attention toward an important message that is being offered.
My professional strengths in leadership, creativity and transformation within the work place and my executive achievements in highly successful Sales, Training and Management, along with my studies and practices in Quantum Evolutions, Facilitators of Consciousness and Metapoints Foundational work. I designed Flower of Life Graphics in order to give practitioners and entrepreneurs more accurate web presence, more ability to share the resonance and energies of their work and themselves. Flower of Life Graphics and the work of METApoints give me playing grounds for utilizing my entire professional and personal development and my desire to participate in the emerging planetary transformation.
I am privileged to merge the fields of Flower of Life Graphics and METApoints to bring us to the next greater whole of who we are in Creation.
