Hi, I’m Hopper. I’m a spiritual coach. I’ve dedicated my life to the gut wrenching process of dismantling indoctrination through radical self-honesty. It was necessary for my own survival. It’s a process that never ends. It’s a road worth walking. Let me show you.

I wrote this song as a prayer. I was so tired of platitudes, blame, excuses, people just generally doing anything and everything they could to avoid acknowledging that pain has a rightful place in the human experience. This was more than a decade before anyone had...

The Window

The Window

The Pepsi Question

The Pepsi Question

I was once at a close friend’s house. He was an atheist, but used to be a christian. I was agnostic, but used to be christian. We were sitting in his living room, where we both spent a strong majority of our time, and casually he said, “what do you think about god?” I...

I Am a Small Thing

I Am a Small Thing

I looked down at the colony of ants amused.  There they were bustling about, busy with the day’s work.  I said, “why do you bustle about in such a hurry?  You travel along these single file lines that you create carrying materials back and forth. ...

The Art of Blasphemy

The Art of Blasphemy

A lot of people make a lot of promises for things that they actually can't control. Things that sound perfect but that betray the very nature of what is. People coming offering a constance that in it's actuality is as unavailable as it is ill advised. Life and meaning...

Talk to me

It’s ok to be who you are, and to talk to me however it is that you talk to people. It is also ok to hide. It is ok to be bold. It is ok to be nervous. It is ok to sound shiny or crusty. It is ok to sound like you come from the tower. It is ok to sound like you come from the street. It is ok to be you in this space. I would love to find out who that is. What do you need today? Please, let me hear you.
