Kirby Moore: “I am just an ordinary human being. I make mistakes and I am not perfect ” With that said, here is a brief bio:

Since 2004, Kirby Moore has been exploring and learning the path of healing touch through Craniosacral Biodynamics and Reiki Energetic Healing. His education has also been influenced by a significant study of Western Astrology, where he focused on Natal Astrology, eventually offering professional interpretations. In addition, Kirby recently completed course work at the University of Virginia, where he earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in Psychology. This was the perfect (empirical, critical-analysis-oriented) complement to his natural tendency toward intuitive living and being, resulting in a more balanced and beneficial approach.

Along with the modalities mentioned above, Kirby has completed training and workshops in peace-building techniques, including Non-violent Communication and the Help Increase the Peace Program. While he was going through school, coaching boys soccer produced much enthusiasm and joy. So to add to the list above, social justice, conflict resolution, coaching and community building are some of Kirby’s many passions or hobbies. Then, on an internal level, he believes the study and practice of an authentic spiritual path is crucial to establish inner peace and to resolve outer conflicts. Therefore, Kirby has cultivated a practice in Tibetan Buddhism, receiving teachings and attending occasional retreats in an attempt stay on a Buddhist path. That explains why you will discover many posts on this blog about Tibetan Buddhism and its many flavors.

While Kirby has received teachings from many people, here is a list of mentors and heart teachers with whom he feels closest: Drupon Thinley Ningpo – retreat master of the Tibetan Meditation Center in Maryland; Julie Henderson, Ph.D. – the founder of Zapchen Somatics; Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen – founder of the TMC in Maryland and Leading Scholastic Teacher of the Drikung Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism; Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin – abbot of the TMC; and Janet Evergreen – healing facilitator and peace-builder in Charlottesville Virginia. If you visit the Dharma page, you will also see the story of another mentor who passed away in 2008, but Kirby still strongly feels the inspiring influence of having spent precious and invaluable time with Geshe Jampel Thardo.

Since 2007, Kirby has been one of the primary organizers for the Charlottesville Ratnashri Buddhist Sangha. Therefore, if you find yourself in the Central Virginia area and feel like joining or visiting a Buddhist group which is full of sincere and devoted practitioners, feel free to contact him. As an organizer, he maintains the C-ville Dharma email lists, invites Buddhist monks to teach, schedules teachings, and tracks all the juicy logistics which go with a full weekend of teachings or retreat.

Kirby considers himself to be an intuitive healing facilitator.  The modalities which have most influenced his practice are: Craniosacral Biodynamics, Process-Oriented Bodywork, Reiki Energetic Healing, Craniosacral Therapy, Zapchen Somatics and Western Spiritual Astrology.

He has a private practice in Charlottesville, Virginia where he offers individual sessions in the above modalities, teaches classes and occasionally leads workshops.  He also sees clients for Spiritual astrology interpretations in person or over the phone.
