My name is Weston

Born and raised in Texas, I made my way to Los Angeles in 1998 with the intention of exploring my creative side (which I hadn’t explored up until that point). A few years after moving to LA, I realized that something was missing.  I had a big hole in my heart and I had deep amounts of pain and suffering that were hiding beneath my optimistic demeanor. I had always been a major champion for love but I didn’t realize that that desire was really my own need to be loved and that I needed to learn how to BECOME the love that I was seeking. So as I walked away from the pursuit of acting, I let the natural self start to unfold. The good, the bad, the beautiful and the ugly. I was blessed with profound and magical support from the universe which showed up in the forms of friends, mentors, books, movies, angels, shamans, healers, spiritual centers, events, conferences, and much more. All these people and resources coming to help aid me in the understanding of who I am and ultimately what I was searching for . . . to become a loving human/spiritual being.

More About My Journey

I Couldn’t Escape The Truth

Since I was young I’ve had a strong curiosity about love and truth. I think it was something I adherently felt and knew but being around a chaotic and unstable upbringing, I lost touch with my connection to my heart. Also, the hurt, pain and the feelings of rejection from childhood kept me distracted from the power and grace of my heart.  In an effort to avoid my feelings, I ran. I got involved with athletics and friends and I literally spent almost every free moment consumed in running away from my family problems. But years later when I was in high school, I had a scare with what could have been a fatal illness and I was stopped in my tracks.  After years of running and escaping through friends, athletics, and partying, life hit the pause button and I was forced to take a deep breath and start to see how I was addicted to escaping. I had to feel into life and love and connect with the life force sustaining me. Autopilot shut off and I was forced to look consciously at my life.  And I didn’t know it then but that was the beginning of my returning to love by connecting with my feelings. I was starting to wake up by being present to the whole spectrum of the feelings I was experiencing. Also, during the healing of my disease, I had the first awareness of my inner voice.  And so that began a gradual process of separating myself from my friends, my parents, my hometown and then ultimately moving from Texas to Los Angeles to pursue the inner part of myself.

Creative Expression Turns Into Healing

I was drawn to Los Angeles for acting and the creative arts but shortly after arriving, I started to realize that there was more I was desiring.  A deep desire to heal was slowly starting to emerge. During acting class, I started to see my need for love, attention and recognition and how much I wanted to be seen and validated which prompted me to ask “why did I need this adoration and validation?”.  I realized that I had an emptiness that stemmed from my childhood and I started to realize that love and understanding was something I was going to have to find inside myself.   So I let go of acting and just surrendered to the emptiness of the only direction I had . . . the one leading me to a greater understanding of myself, my heart, love, forgiveness and compassion. I had no clue what that entailed but I was eager and ready to love again.  And so because I was ready . . . the healing resources of the universe began to come to my aid.

Spiritual Seeking Begins

I headed off into the unknown to find the deeper meanings of life. I met a fellow seeker and we would adventure around LA and meet so many “spiritual” teachers along the way.  One significant being that we met introduced us to the book “The Power of Now”. I quickly consumed the material and after reading the book I was now fully aware of my thoughts and how my mind struggled to stay in the moment.  But I was now anchored in my spiritual truth and off to discover more about my spiritual awakening that was happening. Eckhart Tolle, author of the Power of Now, was speaking at Agape Spiritual Center in Los Angeles and because of the power of his teachings I decided to attend.  Not only did I get to hear him speak but I was introduced to Agape and the teachings of Reverend Michael Beckwith.  As I expanded in light and truth,  more of my darkest shadows would continue to emerge which made me want to work on forgiving my past and expand into even deeper spiritual truths. I went through more spiritual awakenings as I faced identity crises around sexuality, trust, love and forgiveness. I had a deep romantic relationship that showed me some of my deepest wounds: my shame and self hatred. After it ended, I vowed to find the barriers that I held against love. And when the student is ready, the teachers appear.  And in the next coming years, I was fortunate to be able to do healing work and be in the presence of powerful spiritually attuned masters, healers, and shamans.  

Finding The Deepest Wound

As I studied more and more, I went into isolation to connect with my deepest wound and find the moment that I first closed my heart to love.  The original fall from grace. As I connected with this authenticity inside myself, my external world started to shift as well.  For years I had been pursuing a music career and that identity started to crumble as well. After releasing one of my greatest passions, music, I was able to see my ultimate calling arising: to teach others about healing and compassion. So acquiring spiritual tools along the way,  I want to give back the insights I learned through my journey as a student of many profound teachers, healers and authors.  I stand now in the clarity of wanting to help others heal and learn to love again.  And for myself, each day I learn even more how to stay aligned with the grace and flow of divinity. I learn to open more. Trust more. And love more.  My mission in life is to help other spiritual seekers return to their innate truth: the truth that we are all spiritual, loving beings deep down and we have a burning desire to share joy and create a world that works for all.

I look forward to meeting you on the path down the way . . .
