The heart of a human being

is no different than the

soul of heaven and earth.

Your soul is full of fertile seeds

waiting to sprout.

O Sensei, Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969),

Founder of Aikido

The clarity, creativity, insight, and healing power of aligning with the Deep Self is often concealed beneath what we might call the accumulated "dust" of the frenzied, world-influenced conditioned self. Through this work, this "dust" is gradually swept away allowing for aspects to emerge and be revealed. This principle of muddled-concealment / gradual-revealment underlies the human journey, consciousness, and is also mirrored in the Way of Nature and the seasons. Coming into greater conscious congruence with the hidden gifts, insights, and truth of the Deep Self is what this work is about.

Because each person's Process is unique, there is no cookie-cutter template for what emerges in one-on-one sessions. Sessions are different for each individual and tailored to the specific goals and themes stirring at any given time. While no two sessions are identical, there is a general flow, pattern, or framework within which this exploration occurs.

VIDEO CALL

We connect via Zoom or Signal (for mobile or desktop)

In our initial meet-up, we have a conversation about what is stirring for you in your life path. As the conversation unfurls, I pay close attention to the energies, themes, and what exists on both the surface-level and in the deeper strata of what is being said. In this work, I consistently hold a presence of receptivity and an orientation of intuitive inquiry.

FOREST WANDERING &

QUIET-SITTING PRACTICE

Upon completion of our initial session, I weave our dialogue into two of my core daily practices: forest wandering and quiet-sitting. I "take you for a walk," so to speak, replay our dialogue, and sit in meditation within Nature. I attune myself again to your personal Process and the archetypal themes and energies that are stirring. Various questions, insights, connections, commentary, and/or suggestions arise as a result that I prepare to present to you.

THE JOURNEY REPORT

(A "Field Report" of Themes)

Within a day or two of our session, you will receive what I call a "journey report" — a snapshot of themes that arose during our dialogue and innerwork, along with a dispatch containing a variety of other potential facets for you to consider.

At the beginning of our work together, the Journey Report will be more extensive as we map out the working themes. As we proceed with the work, these dispatches become streamlined one-pagers with a blend of commentary, questions, journal writing exercises, and resources. This map becomes our prime orientation, which we continue to follow in future sessions.

Journey Reports may include:

+ questions of sacred inquiry (Quest-I-On)

+ suggested practices, visualizations

+ articles or suggested books

+ videos relevant to themes

+ other resources to explore

Any resource, experiment, practice, journal writing exercise, Quest-I-On Question, or other suggestions is intended to augment the emerging themes from sessions and is offered with the intention of supporting you in cultivating greater clarity and deepening your connection to your own path.

These offerings -- combined with your own disciplined attention to journaling and contemplating themes between sessions -- become a "map." Looking back, it will become obvious that the journey through the various themes will have been akin to traveling through a terrain of gateways, openings, and discoveries. "Journey Reports" enable you to go back and revisit these gates and themes at any time. At various junctures along the way, you will also be asked to review and 'tune back in' with earlier journey reports.

THE JOURNEY REPORT (continued)

SACRED RECIPROCITY

(please read carefully)

Everything in the Cosmos operates in terms of energy. My focus, presence, attention, co-walking, consulting, and the time I put into a Journey Report requires energy. It is energy gladly given in service and in support of your path.

As a matter of reciprocity, in exchange for my time, energy, and focus, my sliding scale rate is $150-$180 (U.S. Dollars) per session.

I do not accept insurance.

There is no charge for the Journey Report. The Journey Report (and any subsequent one-sheeters of resources for you to explore as our work continues) is a supplementary offering made in support of your path.

PAYMENT / LATE PAYMENT POLICY:

Payment for sessions is due on the day of the scheduled session unless other arrangements have been made. Journey Reports are sent within two days after payment is received.

I use PayPal and Venmo. I no longer use CashApp.

I do not accept checks.

If an alternative schedule for payment has been made and that payment isn't made on time, a $50 late payment fee will be added. If two weeks pass without honoring this arrangement, this will result in a termination of the working relationship.

Note to International Clients: If you hail from a country other than the U.S., you will need to do the conversion in your own currency to $150 (U.S.). Historically, I have worked with Fellow Travelers from Australia, Canada, England, Japan, New Zealand, the U.S.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If we schedule a session and something arises that will prevent you from keeping an appointment time, please endeavor to provide a day's advance notice that you need to cancel. If such notice is not received, you will be financially responsible for the time that was reserved just for you. If the date and time of the session arrives and you are more than 15-minutes late, we will need to re-schedule the session for another day.
