Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
Mary Oliver
The work I offer is the work I’ve steeped myself in for years.
A distillation of what I’ve learned about paying attention, being astonished and telling about my life.
When we work together, In solo sessions or weekly sessions or a retreat, I’m able to meet you in a number of ways: altered books or visual journals, sensing, writing, scribbling, sharing, listening.
In this work you discover ways to meet your life more authentically as you cultivate a deeper sense of well being.
By asking questions. By exploring your inner themes and patterns as they arise. By meeting the places that scare you. Allowing you to feel deeply okay.
As you are. Alive and grounded.
Sometimes it’s easy. Sometimes it isn’t. Sometimes your discoveries delight you. Sometimes not so much. Sometimes you’ll doubt anything is happening. And sometimes you’ll find a clear space, away from the doubt, where these questions live in you:
What is possible when I don’t have to know the next step or have a plan?
What is possible when I let myself find my way by listening to what comes from a deeper place in me?
What is possible when I let myself be guided by what is arising in me, in the present moment?
While being present for what I am doing?
What is possible when I give up asking if I did it right, is it pretty, what do other people think?
What is possible when I am just here? For myself. Meeting myself the moment.
This is what I offer: a way to navigate the journey of your life. Using sensing and creativity. For softening the edges of your heart. For falling in love with your true nature.
By just showing up and doing the work. Doubting if the work is working in you. Noticing that it is. Diving deep. Feeling lost. Letting things unfold. Being astonished. And telling about it. This is how you feed your connection to yourself. By giving yourself what feeds this place in you. A place where all of you resides. Full of brilliance wisdom sadness delight and more. Just you. As you are.
This way of working with yourself is an unfolding process. Changing and shifting. Circling back around. Moving like a river. Taking you home to yourself.
