Mentoring
Explore your own connection with the Source
Do you wonder how to live in harmony with nature?
With your own self?
Life is challenging! Impossible things confront us every day—in finances, health, work, and love.
To live with greater ease, we need to find a path that aligns with our own deepest center. Reconciling with ourselves brings us into more harmony with nature because we are nature; the body-mind is our first earth, our most immediate connection with all others on Earth.
So how do we find a good path? We stop and listen for guidance. We listen to our own body and soul. We listen to allies and helpers in nature. Every being has something to teach us that can help us reconnect with the irrepressible source of life and joy.
It takes only a tiny shift of attention to open to that mysterious Source. But finding that connection reliably and staying in touch with it over time takes practice.
So during mentoring sessions we practice listening to Spirit together. The form of listening we use is shamanic journeys or spirit journeys.
A shamanic or spirit journey is a way of hearing Spirit through our sacred imagination.
To prepare for a spirit journey we come to quiet and open our hearts to receiving guidance. We commit ourselves to the largest possible good. Then we simply receive whatever impressions arise. Once we have prepared our minds and hearts, we can trust that these impressions are given for a helpful purpose.
We might see images or hear sounds or feel emotions or sensations. We simply observe, being open to what—or who—appears. We go on the adventure of following a friend who has something interesting to show us.
A spirit journey is prayer in that we are seeking wisdom beyond everyday knowing. It is meditation in that it involves watching without judgment what arises inside.
Where do insights come from? When we are open to the largest good, they come from Spirit. We connect with spirit helpers and allies, perhaps animals or trees or birds or water or ancestors. Or Spirit may just be a quiet presence inside.
For those who gave up on prayer long ago because it felt like talking to empty space, a spirit journey or shamanic journey is an opportunity to hear the universe speaking back. We enter into sacred conversation, and the ever-springing source of life meets us in loving support to provide fresh perspective on whatever we face. A journey is a chance to feel supported and cared for by more-than-human allies. We are nourished by a larger circle of wisdom friends.

Try Mentored Journeys
I offer mentored journeys for those who want support in developing an ongoing relationship with Spirit and learning to trust the impressions they receive.
In a series of four sessions, typically once a week for four weeks, we meet over the phone to listen quietly to Spirit. Four sessions gives you time to assimilate new insights and allow them to take root in your life. You build confidence in your own ability to hear the quiet voice of Spirit. Sessions typically last 50 to 75 minutes.
Mentored journey sessions are different from both therapy and spiritual direction. They have their own rhythm, tailored by Spirit for each person. As the facilitator, I focus my attention toward Spirit on your behalf, and we move through each session guided by Spirit's suggestions.

Try a Single Healing Journey
If you need one-time support with something challenging—in health, relationship, job, with a partner or a pet—I can do a healing journey on your behalf.
Contact me to request an appointment. We will connect by phone for 30 minutes (free consultation) to get acquainted and answer any questions you may have. If we choose to move forward, we will set a follow-up appointment about a week away. If we do not move forward, there is no charge.
Over the following days I will do a healing journey on your behalf. During that time Spirit works to heal your body, mind, and heart and to provide insights that help connect you with your deep-welling Source of life.
At our follow-up appointment (about 30 to 60 minutes by phone), I share insights received from Spirit on your behalf. I pass along any suggestions I receive to help you move through life with insight, grace, and joy.
Fee for a single healing journey: $100
