At Portals we seek to offer great content to inquiring minds, and we also want to nourish and grow a thriving community by creating an ecology of practice for engagement and exchange. Your membership supports that potential.

Throughout history, the great questions have been asked, and great research has been undertaken, always expanding the territory of the known by shining a light into the unknown. Where is that cutting edge today? And can a community of people from all over the world, each carrying their own unique journey of discovery, come together to inquire at the edge of purposeful evolution, through dialogue and interaction? We think it is possible, and we hope that you will choose to be a part of this exploration.

integration and versatility

One aspect of leading a balanced life is to create enough space and opportunity in yourself for the natural growth and development of the three lives in each of us:  the foundational life of intelligence and consciousness, the life we create by interacting with the world, and our universal or spiritual life.

On this journey of life and learning, we can organically integrate the three lives and find the practices and ways that support our continued growth.

This series of conversations will weave a loom of considerations about a balanced life, and look at the inner awareness, technologies, and perceptions that can help us access and get back to a life of balance, harmony and growth during times of change and challenge.

 

We could put another 24 different aspects here that will come into developing the life in you, such that you become the most versatile, most liberated in your range of expression and creativity. The discipline here is that, well, I was given life, and I get to develop that life, and I take myself into different experiences to develop that life.

Socialised in a small communal village in rural Israel, I developed a sense of appreciation and curiosity toward human potential, purpose and our shared experience in this world.

Following my passion for facilitating processes that empower people, I specialised in economics, comparative law and public policy. Applying these skills, I try to be in a continuous exploration process, both professionally and personally, to unlock ever more humane wonders.
