"Do not try to develop what is natural to man; develop what
is natural to Heaven. He who develops Heaven...benefits life;
he who develops man - injures life."
Chuang Tzu

other in living a more spiritually integrated life...

BOARD OF DIRECTORS






Joseph Knapp
Founder - President,
& Treasurer
 
Spiritual Teacher & Ordained Healer


     Joseph received his bachelor's degree from Sonoma State University in Humanistic / Transpersonal Psychology (1996), did graduate work at the same university in Transpersonal Psychology, and completed three years of graduate work at the Transpersonal Center of Holistic Integration (1990's). (He is now working on his Ph.D.)
 
     Joseph's path in spiritual healing and self-transformation has come about through over thirty-five years of deep and concentrated spiritual practice rooted in Eastern Yogic and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. He completed more than twelve years of retreat practice in India and Nepal and intensive study under the guidance of spiritual teachers including Baba Hari Dass, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Dilgo Khyenste Rinpoche, and his beloved Gurudev H.H. Sri Sri 1008 Kisori-Kisoranand Baba Tinkudi Gosvami.
 
     His primary focus of research and practice is personal ecology, the ecology of the individual self in relationship to the body, mind, and soul in relationship to their immediate environments. Joseph is thus deeply concerned with alternative methods of healing of the body, mind, and soul. Since all personal ecologies are small parts of a larger global ecology, he is also interested in the environmental ecology of the whole earth.

     Joseph is currently working on books and articles on his philosophy of spiritual healing and realization which describe how he has applied those methodologies and techniques to the work offered through SE33 for the purification of body, mind and soul, and especially the purification of the heart for attaining Liberation through Love of God.








Neal Delmonico
Vice President


     Mr. Delmonico completed his BA at the University of Colorado (1978) and his MA (1985) and PhD (1990) at the University of Chicago in South Asian Languages and Civilizations. He is the author of numerous articles and books on South Asian religion, philosophy, and literature.  He has taught courses in world religions and civilizations at various universities and colleges in the Midwest.

    He is currently translating several works from Bengali and Sanskrit into English. His recent work has been on the influence of world views and meditative practices on ecological understanding and practice.

   





Alison Brooke Monfort
Secretary


     Brooke has a life-long career as a professional communicator, consultant, writer and editor, working first in advertising agencies where she created local, national and international marketing strategies and advertising campaigns for a diverse range of corporate clients, and later as a consultant to alternative health practitioners, non-profit organizations, writers, filmmakers and artists, helping them craft and hone their communications, land investors, attain publication and build professional networks.
 
     Since childhood, Brooke has studied world religions, philosophy and alternative healing, having intuitively been first drawn to the religions and Gods of India. Her travels led her to study with Native Americans, Taoists, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus and Tibetans, where she found symbols and common Truth throughout..."Be still, and know that I am God."
 
     Brooke currently works with this and other non-profit groups and individuals to help promote awareness of environmental issues, green-living, goddess awareness, and the joy of reconnecting to our beloved Gaia. She also continues to work as a story consultant to writers and screenwriters.
