When we get open and curious about those persistent things in life that we would rather avoid or change, we may begin to see that our entire life has been organized in a way that serves our highest potential in purpose, prosperity, relationship and creative expression.
It is the cultivation of this unconditional presence toward both your neglected parts and your deepest wholeness that I explore with you in a group setting and individually.
As shared exploration in dialogue with the unconscious aspects of our life, we engage in a powerful group process of individual and collective healing. It is part self-inquiry and part social action with the aim of developing the inner neurological and psychological structures that can support the social systems desperately needed today.
This is a journey into befriending one's emotional life which is about allowing and experiencing the entire spectrum of feelings - regardless of it being sadness, joy, fear, courage, anger or humor. By welcoming feelings as they spontaneously arise, we create a pathway into emotional and psychological freedom, learning that feelings can ultimately be a gateway into Essence.
Together we create a safe space of unconditional presence to dive deeply into the unseen corners of your experience. Here you will find a place of healing that runs concurrent with a newfound sense of agency toward your entire life and its unfolding. Discover that you are already more than you could imagine.
In my youth, it was those wild, beautiful places that began to draw me in; the place where the path disappears into the landscape - the high mountain range of pine and river and snow; the ancient gardens of stone collared in sagebrush; the hidden stand of curly oak isolated in the grassy meadow.
As I grew into adulthood, a different kind of wilderness began to lure me in - a place that can, at once, be terrifying and joy filled. Out of both necessity and curiosity, I was drawn into this inner landscape of imagination, emotion and the felt-sense. The pull toward it was unrelenting. We all have this inner space; yet most of us try our best to avoid it. Mine could not be avoided. It was far too loud. So, again, I found myself moving toward the mysterious, urged into the place where the path is often indistinguishable from the landscape, a place where more often there is no path at all, just wilderness.
For more than two-decades, I have navigated this terrain using meditation, movement and self-inquiry. What I’ve learned is this: Life always presents itself according to exactly what is needed, even though it may not be liked or feel good. The process of transformation is therefore not about trying to change our life circumstances. Rather, it is about learning how to orient toward life in a way that is welcoming. At least that’s the first step. And, while this seems like a very simple move, it doesn’t mean that it’s easy. Having a friend that has gone through the territory, pointing out the dead-ends and pitfalls, can have a tremendous impact on the speed at which the process unfolds. You could think of me as that friend.
I work with people who are committed to living into their creative genius and who inspire others to do the same.
