What lies behind you, and what lies before you, pales in significance to what lies within you.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have worked in the fields of psychotherapy, energy/body work, Somatic Experiencing trauma work, depth astrology, nature based retreats and vision quests for over two decades. Over the years I have been blessed with wise and supportive mentors. They lovingly and skillfully guided me by providing safe containers while inviting my own authentic expression forward, many times beyond what was comfortable.

I am grateful especially to Adyashanti who so beautifully articulates and exemplifies the full paradoxical spectrum of what I held within my inner experience, both personally and in my work with others and to Bill Plotkin , Ph.D., of Animas Valley Institute; Steven Foster, Ph.D., and Meredith Little of the School of Lost Borders; and renowned astrologer Steven Forrest.

I received my B.A. from Middlebury College in Vermont and a Masters Degree in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco after completing a three year training through the Vermont Center for Psychosynthesis. Currently I co-teach courses at CIIS with cosmologist Brian Swimme, Ph.D., on what it is to live in participatory engagement within a living universe and in more authentic alignment with the cultural and ecological shift of our time. In addition to my formal training, my life and work have been strongly influenced by friendship and creative partnership with Brian.

Although what I learned from others is invaluable, it is through intimately knowing what it is to let go into unchartered territory, beyond the safe and familiar, that guides me most profoundly in my work. Unfoldings is a direct outpouring of my desire to support you in more consistent and self-referenced inner guidance. While I have by no means arrived, as there is no final destination in our constant becoming, I have come to know something about the nature of transformation and what ' s involved in surrendering to the inherent pull of our deepest being. In this light I warmly extend the various offerings through Unfoldings as portals to your journey.

In gratitude,

Kerry
