And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom

Located in the rolling hills of Sonoma County, nearby to both Redwood forests and the rugged Northern California coastline, Unfoldings exists to support the realization of your deepest identity as an inextricable part of the larger unfolding web of life. Through individual mentoring and nature-based personal and group retreats, the invitation is to an intimate and immediate engagement with all that seeks to awaken you to your essential nature and to following its inherent guidance.

All of the programs offered through Unfoldings are designed to support you in re-attuning to the innate intelligence of Life, within and without. Our ancestors were embedded in an alive universe, intuitively guided and informed through their days. We, however, have lost contact with this instinctive knowing in order to fit into the modern industrial agenda. As a result, we've become alienated not only from the natural world but from our own deepest nature. No wonder we're disoriented and dis-eased. With such a deep sense of alienation and "homesickness" we've literally forgotten where we came from and where to look to for guidance.

A central tenet of the programs offered through Unfoldings is that we are not simply skin-encapsulated egos separate from nature, but are beings in process, evolving in tandem with the rhythms and cycles of the rest of Life. Through learning to listen and respond to the way Life continually seeks to evoke you forward, you will come to discover your inherent belonging both to yourself and the larger world. Rather than striving for a vision "out there", the focus is to shift your center of gravity: out of what is conditioned into what is silent, receptive and ever evolving. By re-membering your place within the unfolding fabric you thus support your ability to live in a way that is life enhancing rather than life destroying.

People who come to Unfoldings:

• Sense the possibility of a deeper freedom, beyond the tendency to keep looking for the "next" thing
• Yearn to live a more authentic and spontaneous expression of who they are
• Feel the impact of and wish to align with the cultural and planetary shift of these times
• Are in the midst of transition or on the edge of something newly ending and/or emerging
• Seek to discover a new way forward now that their old goals and motivations have dropped away
• Have had various "awakening" experiences and are in the process of further embodying what they realized (for some this includes working with the energetic shifts that often accompany the process)

Through the process, they learn to:

• Live the questions…
• Live in greater alignment with their own deepest nature and expression Access and surrender to the ever-present silence within
• Consciously engage with what's unfolding and emerging
• Track their own subtle inner impulses and open to what it is to be evoked by Life
• Shift from trying to move through the world to allowing the world to move through them
• Recognize their inherent connectedness with all of life
