  Healing Our Relationship with Math

  This article explores why so many people turn away from mathematics, not because they are incapable of understanding it, but because mathematics often stopped feeling safe. When confusion is rushed, questions are dismissed and speed is mistaken for intelligence, a child can begin to associate mathematics with shame rather than discovery. Sacred Math offers another way: a return to meaning, intuition, patience and embodied understanding. It invites mathematics to be encountered again as a living language of pattern, relationship and order, not as a test of worth, but as a path back into clarity, curiosity and trust.

  Making Peace with Abstraction

  Have you ever stood before a mathematical formula and looked at it with some apprehension, wondering what it is actually about?

  With this article, I hope to clear some of the mystery around the process of abstraction and show how it actually works.

  Before Insight: The Four Intelligences and the Courage to Not Know

  This article explores the passage from not knowing to knowing and asks what happens when mathematics is restored to a more human rhythm. Genuine understanding does not begin with the quick answer. It begins in the uncomfortable threshold of uncertainty, where the body, emotions, intuition and intellect each have a role to play. Through the example of the triangle angle-sum theorem, the article shows how mathematical insight can move from embodied experience to recognition, explanation and proof. When held in this way, mathematics becomes less a test of worth and more a language for meeting pattern, relationship and the deeper coherence of the world.
