Carson has been on quite the spiritual path and journey for the last several years. The untimely passing of his mother in 2003 made him realize the limitations of his conditioned personality and understanding of "reality".
Carson has embraced various spiritual, esoteric and metaphysical ways of Being and seeking Truth through deep energy healing, Astrology, Tarot, Integral Philosophy and the archetypal rebirth of the Soul. He is a Virgo, and feels drawn to a life of service and healing through dharmic synergy and a collaborative conscious community.
Upon meeting David and Alex at a UOUFC event in 2006, Carson felt the potential of service and understanding that this community could manifest. Carson currently lives in Port Credit and is co-creating his ideal career with the Universe to help others discover their light within.
