Home: Welcome
JOHN KOON, SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR
Individual Sessions, Guided Contemplative Practices, Workshops
Welcome! Under the Sweetgum exists to accompany people on their journey to deeper awakening, wholeness, and inner freedom. I believe that our spiritual practice and awareness directly impact the way we show up in the world and the way in which we relate to the divine, to ourselves, and to others. Our individual liberation is inherently connected to the liberation of all of creation.
Will you join me?

"In the morning
When I began to wake,
It happened again—
That feeling
That You, Beloved,
Had stood over me all night
Keeping watch,
That feeling
That as soon as I began to stir
You put Your lips on my forehead
And lit a Holy Lamp
Inside my heart"
--Hafiz, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
