ARTIST INTERVIEW: JAMIE MCHUGH (or finding my path)

I just came back from my interview with Jamie and am still touched deeply by synchronicity, or my inner instinct which chose him. Before I continue, this is his website:
www.somaticexpression.com

I don't even quite remember why I picked him. I'd come across his name several times: he teaches at the Tamalpa Institute, is a fine art photographer, and he even sometimes teaches at JFK.

He combines pretty much everything I am interested in. This is a very big statement, but I mean it. He does combine:
meditation/mindfulness practice
performance
somatics
healing trauma
visual arts
buddhist principles, such as detachment
being present in the moment
sensuality/eroticism as a way of being present and in dialogue with the world
being present in nature

Do I need to say more?

I will, but right now it is late and I will go to sleep...
