Water was my teacher in the spring fed lake of my childhood. It was where I learned to swim, dive and jump with delight. In adulthood, these lessons accompanied me on my spiritual journey, as I learned to breathe deeply and remain forever curious about the mystery below the surface. Let’s explore these sacred waters by diving inward together.

Miami Rescue Mission, Creative Living Teacher
Among her accomplishments that she is most proud of is her work as a volunteer teacher at the Miami Rescue Mission for 15 years. Her Creative Living class consisted of 25-35 men recovering from addiction problems and trying to put their lives back together. The class, initiated and run by Luanne, focused on positive and creative ways to improve one’s life. During her 15 years at the mission, she worked with over a 1000 men helping them to believe in themselves and to begin making healthier choices.
“When you learn to dive it is not much use standing on the diving board trying to make up your mind to take the plunge. You have to Do something about it; even if the first few times you may not be very successful, with practice you will become proficient.”

Mission Statement
Our mission is to dive through our illusions and into our hearts with loving compassion. The journey begins with the whisper of spirit calling us to go deeper into the divine essence of who we are. Diving into our own hearts is where we find our truth, purpose and it is where we heal. If you want more for your life, I invite you to dive into the way of the heart where we can explore the depths together.

The sea is swift in my dreams
and sometimes
it is slow-motion bright.
The sea is time and space
compacted within finite boundaries.
The waves are ripples of time,
moving across the faceless waters,
creating life.
Rolling waters move ceaselessly.
The movement soothes and caresses my mind
like music.
I dance in the restless waters
and I am a wave
and I am the sea.
I dance on the roiling waters
and I slide through the airless airs below,
delighting in freedom.
I dive deep and am not afraid.
I dive deep and I am Alive,
Forever.
