Start Being, Stop Doing: Transforming our sense of self by ending our obsession with performance - Hardcover

Kilian, Thomas A., III: - Raised and toughened in the swamplands of North Carolina, Kilian has lived in a tent within conflict zones, built a thatched hut, and opened his first ceramic studio in 2007. He's been a wood mill laborer, interior painter, pastor, program manager, and youth & family advisor -- from mopping floors to meeting with dignitaries. During summer, you may find him hiking with his Boxador, Mr. Bear, in the Blue Ridge Mountains. On the weekends, Kilian sells his pottery at venues across South Central Virginia. Kilian is an ordained minister with a Bachelor of Science in Biblical Studies and Social Sciences. In 2018, Kilian received the Stone-Campbell Promising Scholar Award. In 2024, he became a certified practitioner in 5PHE(c), a human services model, and then completed his worldview and scientific studies at S.I.B.W.S., 20th CADRE. He currently is working on his Art Therapy Practitioner certificate. He travels widely, helping people of various backgrounds, ages, and occupations to manage the triumphs and catastrophes of life.
