Jonathan grew up in the suburbs of Seattle and led an outwardly ordinary adulthood, despite a quietly ferocious inner search. After many unexpected spiritual experiences including a neardeath experience, in 2011 he left his regular life entirely and went through a sort of “final” doorway, in which a radical falling away of egoic self became the abiding ground of his being. After a few years spent nearly in silence, an inner prompt revealed a subtle healing ability, and a subsequent prompt to share what’s been received has become the prime mover of Jonathan’s life. His essential function, as he sees it, is to help people remove blocks to their awareness of their deepest being, and to live from the peace that pours forth.
