A clinician and researcher writing about what the contemplative traditions described for three thousand years — and what neuroscience is only now able to test.

About

I didn't go looking
for peace.

I lost a business, a clinic, my health, and most of what I thought I was — and found it in a basement, through a cat, the moment I stopped looking.

A clinician and researcher with two doctorates and twenty-two years in clinical practice. The contemplative traditions on one side of the desk, the neuroscience on the other, and the slow disassembly that became the Infinita Via series.

The series

Nine books, one path.

Infinita Via is a nine-volume project across three years on contemplative neuroscience, non-duality, and what the wisdom traditions described that the laboratory can now begin to test.

No method. No protocol. No guru. The first book ships in 2026. The next eight will appear as they're announced — the newsletter is the first place each one is named.

"Science and contemplation rarely speak the same language. Rosario makes them stop pretending they ever disagreed."
