Tools for the journey

During our work together I will utilize a variety of tools - including awareness practices and nature based exploration, somatic experiencing trauma work, depth psychotherapy and use of your astrological chart, in addition to other modalities. The following are glimpses into what you might experience:

Awareness and Nature Based Practices

Awareness and Nature Based Practices including listening meditation and conscious engagement with the more-than-human world support a direct and immediate way to experience and re-member your deepest nature and belonging.

Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Somatic Experiencing (SE) trauma work implicitly and explicitly informs a great deal of the process, both individually and in groups. While SE is an exceptional tool for working with specific traumas, it is applicable to everyone in that it supports us in unwinding the way our individual and cultural conditioning has come to thwart what naturally wants to unfold. This thwarting – whether short term or more chronic – can show up as feeling slightly numb, being caught in the mind, being anxious or simply feeling hesitant and/or resistant in response to what is pulling us forward. This is especially applicable as we each find our way to moving through the precariousness of these changing times. As we are individually are ushered beyond the safe shores of the familiar, we are likely to hit moments of restriction as we surrender to something more vibrant, authentic and life sustaining. SE is an embodied way to help you track and move through these edges to a more fluid and sustained self-guidance and belonging to ourselves and the wider web of relations.

The Astrological Chart

The Astrological Chart is used as the touchstone for ongoing work. It is an exceptional resource for understanding the energies and qualities we are born with. It serves as an archetypal map of our innate potential, illuminating many facets of our inner landscape. The chart can deepen our understanding of innate patterns and potentials and validate and encourage that which seeks expression. While not depending on the chart for answers, it is used as a collaborative tool between us.

Other Modalities

Authentic movement, dreamwork, deep imagery, expressive arts, council and ceremony are all ways to engage with the deeper undercurrent that draws you. They, each in their own way, are designed to lift the veil so that you might be evoked and moved from within.
