People are talking about Daniel's programs. His interactive events have taken him across the country and internationally for two decades, working with diverse groups in education, business, and community groups.

Daniel's program facilitation is relaxed and flexible. Participants are encouraged to engage with questions and participate at their comfort level. In-person events are not another "lecture" and are designed to be hands-on with plenty of experiential learning.

Can't decide which program is best suited for the occasion? Daniel can customize a program, series, or multi-program retreat for your event. Examples of his customization include a reflection event commemorating September 11 for one organization and a two-part photography-spirituality event for another group.
