About Cadence

I’ve always been a seeker. I’ve always followed my heart. Truth is, it hasn’t always been easy or fun. But, it has always lead me to the best experiences of my life. Most importantly it has lead me to hear the voice of my soul. And that connection, is beyond words.

All through college I was driven to create a life full of meaning and actively sought my purpose. I needed to contribute to the positive evolution of our society. As an art student I explored my relationship to spiritual connection extensively in my work. Making art was my way of exploring the wonder and mystery of being alive on this planet and connecting through our human experience. I explored the universal landscape of our untapped connections, strength and beauty.

After school, I landed a great job using my art degree. I was living a sweet life, in an awesome city, with good friends. But something was still missing. I kept looking around and thinking, is this it? Sure, my days and nights were exciting, but it lacked a depth I needed to feel whole. I could only see hundreds of days and nights in front of me leading to decades of the similar.

I’d long studied the shero’s journey and understood that I was limited in my creative potential until I had original experiences, outside the boundary and convention of my society. I knew I had reached the choice to either continue with the secure and familiar life or to trust in the unknown and seek what I could not explain. So I gave it all up. My home, my job, my friends, my possessions. Anything that I used to define myself had to go. I got a backpack, filled it with essentials, and took the leap of faith.
