Offerings
Within the inner journey lies the potential of uncovering what may not have been attended to at earlier times in your life.
Guidance in the Realization Process is your path to wholeness and is the foundation for all the services I provide. In doing so we discover unmet patterns that, once recognized, a wealth of resources become available. The study and practice of vital life force energy, Qigong, witnessed within nature and ourselves is also available in this healing work.
Individual sessions
"Spiritual realization is not about creating something new. Instead, it involves clearing away the holding patterns and beliefs that are obstructing our true nature.”
Our time together will be a journey to uncover your true nature, the Realization Process as our path.
Qigong is also offered for those who are called.

The possibility of burnout lurks within healthcare professions due to the externalization of focus on providing attentive care for clientele. Over time a state of depletion dulls a former sense of aliveness being a compassionate guide, teacher, and companion for others. The loss of passion over your once-felt life vocation can affect all aspects of your life. Depletion enters and any action takes extra exertion drawing from your life force.
In my earlier career as a therapist who experienced depletion leading to health issues, I understand what it takes to revitalize the spirit back to health. For the last 30 years, I’ve learned, practiced, and offered to be the “Medic in the tent” for care providers.
I’m here as your companion and guide providing the nurturing restorative space to regain your footing. A place where new life can be breathed into your career enhancing potential for your clientele by the very nature of the connection you have to the ground of being. Invite your life to begin to breathe again. It could be far easier than you imagine.

To be a primary caregiver cannot be imagined, only known through direct experience. There is a delicate dance between selflessly supporting a loved one and attending to your self-care. Often if not almost always, the latter suffers. The most common question is “Where would I possibly find the time for self-care?” Often taken to the point of exhaustion the best that can happen is getting some rest.
What if a practice exists that does not require a lot of time? What if you could learn an embodiment modality that could support you through your day and you don’t have to wait until you have space for yourself to engage? It is quite possible, let’s have a conversation and come up with a strategy to support the caregiver. The quality of our care for another can only be matched by our inner reserve. This doesn’t need to be another responsibility to take on rather, a breath of fresh energy to lighten your load.

Calling all lovers of life. Could this be you or are you finding yourself witnessing the capacity of someone else maintaining connection to wonderment and deep appreciation no matter what life brings to them?
Let’s explore a means of leaning into your genuine true nature and living fully as the expression of life itself being radically loved. Perhaps you have felt a spark igniting your experience only to have it then dim and you are curious about that. You just may dim your experience for a reason and that too can be attended to.
I invite you to deepen your own life where your senses awaken to the inherent beauty of the natural world. Your inner vision radiates from the light of compassion illuminating your humanness. Living life fully we bring something beautiful into the world, a life well lived is a story with meaning. Together we explore the means of stabilizing oneself to go beyond the peak experiences and their contrasts. We can discover a way of being where nondual awareness becomes the spaciousness that invites all experiences to be lived.
Book a private session and let us explore what this could mean to you personally.

Qigong is the bridge to experience stillness within movement throughout all of life.
The Realization Process provides the context to enter the “integrative ground” within the practice of embodiment. You will be guided to explore this rich territory where the ground of being arises naturally. Qigong then moves from here.
“Fundamental consciousness is the essence of our whole being, and it is known through our whole being. To experience fundamental consciousness means that the knower begins to know itself.” Qigong then moves from here.
Without embodied presence we are not fully inhabiting ourselves nor can we fully interact with life. The attunement to Fundamental Consciousness affects our relationship with ourselves along with all our relationships. Qigong then moves from here.
“The experience of existing as a human being, of being alive to ourselves and the world around us…...as we realize this undistorted, unified consciousness, we have a sense of becoming real and of experiencing life as it is. When two people are both attuned to this dimension, they have a sense of being in genuine contact with each other.” Qigong moves from here.
We begin with discovering meaning as a path to experience your wholeness with living an embodied life, it is not too late.
A rich experience awaits your journey. See private Qigong lessons below.

Your quality of life is lost when a loved one is caught in a web of addiction. The unpredictability of daily living can feel unbearable. Families often end up developing symptoms of grief similar to those brought on by a death, only their loved ones are living. We cannot control another person’s addiction. Under such conditions, most people begin to lose a sense of themselves. With help, we can regain our footing and learn to live again.
Past patterns of conditioning come into play during times such as these. We go it alone carrying the emotional weight by believing we would be burdening others. We remain isolated. We have the perception that no one could understand, and no matter how well intended it may be the thought of unsolicited advice is too much to take on.
Whether it is because of addiction, the death of a loved one, or any challenging life event we can find ourselves in a vacuum of emptiness. Illness also brings changes in how we always thought life would be. The onset of any traumatic life situation means almost everything does change. Our losses become a threshold to the unknown, and we feel adrift.
Grieving is personal in every sense of the word whatever the cause and not always perceived in its true light by others who are also reacting within their patterns of conditioning. When liminal spaces are viewed as a part of life, grieving can be allowed to move within ourselves, and witnessed by others as necessary to experience fully. As a condition with a multitude of expressions all taking place within our humanness, grief needs a witness.
In the beginning, we feel neither here nor there being unable to locate ourselves. Paradoxically the threshold of unknowing can offer a journey of finding deeper meaning. Potentially within the search, we invite questions such as “Where is my life heading?” Here within liminal space rests the catalyst to potentially find out.
Compassionate guidance is here to support your life transitions, beginnings, endings, and the unfolding of all life challenges in between. The role of mentoring provides a witnessing presence to life’s pivotal moments in all of its expressions. As your witness and guide I am aware of the unbroken place within that is waiting to be met. My service is to provide you the opportunity to experience your wholeness, the never-before traumatized or wounded place within you.
By attuning to fundamental consciousness, seeing and hearing happen within a relational field supported by the ground of being as nondual awareness.
A supportive and compassionate space is here to meet you wherever you are at. The journey of moving from fragmentation into unified consciousness awaits. There is much discovery here!

Within The Realization Process of meditative practices, we discover what has always been waiting to be met. With attunement to inner stillness and making conscious contact, we allow ourselves to lay our burdens down.
Gathering together, we will experientially discover the vital nature of community. Private time will also provide an opportunity for inner reflection and practice of newly acquired skills for meeting life challenges and becoming more resourced.
This event has been inspired by the following: “Belonging Here” by Judith Blackstone, “On The Wild Edge of Sorrow” by Francis Weller, “Radical Wholeness” by Philip Sheperd, and “A Safe Journey Home” by Felicity Warner. Our time together will allow us to explore some of life’s more profound questions—space to experience meaningful dialogue in a supportive environment that calls forth intriguing and not often-spoken topics.
The Abbey provides a peaceful container for unfolding our experience together. You will learn meditative practices, embodied movement, stress reduction, relaxation techniques, and a unique therapeutic sound experience with Tibetan Bowls.
We will enjoy our meals together, as we are communal. The beautiful Abbey grounds offer walks in nature and an on-site labyrinth that supports your reflective inner experience.
