We are all born with genius. We come into the world with a purpose, “…trailing clouds of glory”, as Wordsworth would say. We feel called to seek and tap into our personal genius and purpose. We can then contribute to the good of the whole. I believe there are many paths to the same truth, the Creator/Source of our being. My goal is to help you seek and find your own inner truth and guidance, your own “path with heart.”
I combine my learning and experience from three areas – depth psychology, coaching and the indigenous wisdom of the Shaman. I serve as your ally as I support you, challenge you and help you connect to your deep inner wisdom and the help that is available to you from the invisible world of spirit and ancestors.
We begin with you telling me your story, the story of your life, your current situation, both outer and inner. What are your hopes, your fears, your dreams and your challenges? You may chose to write it or tell it to me. We will engage in a dialogue of questions, reflections and use the ancient eternal stories found in fairy tales, myths and legends to elucidate and deepen your sense of your own story.
What is it you have come here to do? Who and what have you come here to love? What have you come here to heal? What have you come here to learn?
We may use divination as taught to me by Malidoma Soméand the Shaman of the Dagara people of West Africa. Each of us has the innate capacity to connect to the invisible world of spirits and ancestors. I will facilitate this connection. It is up to you to evaluate the information we receive to seek your own truth.
You will have homework, journaling, recording your dreams at night, making art, doing ritual, and more, depending on what emerges. I am your ally in bringing forward your own story, the one you co-create with help from the invisible world. It is the story that springs from your gifts, and life purpose – the one that fills you with energy, vibrancy, fullness and delight.
I will bring action oriented coaching practices to our work. To risk, to experiment, to take action on your learnings is a big part of the process.
…I practice shamanism myself; not because I understand in OSC (ordinary state of consciousness) terms why it works, but simply because it does work. But don’t take my word for it: truly significant shamanic knowledge is experienced, and cannot be obtained from me or any other shaman. Shamanism is, after all, basically a strategy for personal learning and acting on that learning. I offer you a portion of that strategy and welcome you to the ancient shamanic adventure.
