"The One Essential Journey"

Meeting Yourself at the Midlife Pillars of Wisdom, Purpose and Grace

 

The second half of life is one heck of a profound journey! It often confronts us with the challenges of aging, the shifting dynamics of relationships, and the evolving landscapes of health, purpose and meaning.  Later life often asks us to face our limitations, confront old patterns, and reckon with our fears—often in ways that are uncomfortable. ​

​

In this next maturing state in life with many anticipated and wonderful newfound freedoms as well as the weight of challenging losses, we often find ourselves face-to-face with new levels of growing pains. (...And we thought puberty was challenging?!).

​

But if we’re paying attention, it also guides us to the threshold of something new: a budding WISDOM that’s ready to be realized and deeply expressed -- something that is only just now, ripe with emerging new possibility...

 

The elder years brings us to the threshold of Soul. Those who discover the Soul's veiled genius, will uncover how story becomes transformed into grace, wisdom, purpose and peace.​

​

As we enter the second half of life, I find it to be some kind of "awesome miracle" to discover that every moment lived—each joy, sorrow, triumph, and struggle—holds a deeper calling.

 

Consciously-engaged midlife and elder-hood is our time to rise, to transform what we've experienced into something that touches the very heart and spirit of life! The dreams that still stir in our hearts, the wisdom gathered, the hardships sustained and the light cultivated are all part of a Masterwork waiting to be shared.

 

A QUEST:  What will you create from the life you’ve lived, and what will you leave behind as your legacy of love and wisdom?

​

 Welcome to "The One Essential Journey" -- Your Masterwork is Calling...

​The Masterwork Curtain Call:

​​

  • Powerful Perception (Soul)

  • Physical Poise (Health)

  • Playful Passion (Creativity)

  • Poignant Purpose (Community)​

  • ​​Prosperity Pathways (Finances)

    (...That's a lot of "P's"! :)

​Your Transformational Journey in the Elder Years:

If you sense a deeper creative adventure and transformation waiting to unfold in your second act, I invite you to step into "The One Essential Journey."

 

HERE ARE SOME INITIAL PROMPTS FOR YOU:

​How do you feel (in your body) when you ask your heart and soul these questions? 

​

  • What most concerns or keeps me up at night about my current age/stage in life?

  • What is something I have always wanted to create or do, but have not?

  • What hobby/interest gives me the most joy?

  • What were the darkest times in my life...and how might it afford me a certain wisdom to share with others in some creative new way(s)?

  • What in my life might be signs of "elder wisdom growing pains"?

  • What is something I am uniquely qualified (by virtue of my personal array of life experiences), to reflect back to others about life, meaning, and navigating it all?

  • How might my body be trying to talk to me about things I have not fully addressed or that are in need of lifestyle changes?​

​And, "WHAT IF"...​

  • "What if" there is something (only just now) ready for me to begin to look more deeply into and to honor; to create; to share? (Clue: There is!)​

  • “What if" the whole of my life (the good, the bad, the "all of it") has a special task – a special artistry – a special wisdom - that wishes to be more wholly lived at this next phase of life? 

​​On Working with Me:​​​

With over 20,000 mentoring clinical hours providing private one-on-one retreat intensives with individuals and couples seeking life insight and breakthrough transformation, I’m honored to support those at midlife and elder-hood who feel a powerful calling to:​

​

  • Cultivate deeper vitality and well-being

  • Embark on a creative journey of passion

  • Establish a clear, life-encompassing financial pathway

  • Express a greater overall wellness-wisdom than any other time in your life​​

​​​

What Makes My Approach Unique?​

I guide individuals who are ready to meet new levels of awareness, wisdom, and self-expression—integrating all facets of mind body spirit social awareness with the grounded pragmatics of real life.

 

As a spirted author, health and social research specialist, and respected mentor in personal transformation, I offer a profound, soul-driven and uniquely artistic approach to those who are called to the very depths of inner self-awareness, creative vision, and vitality.

 

The 5 Pillars I integrate into this process (or as I like to call them, "The 5 Curtains of a Midlife Masterwork") are each transformative journeys in their own right—each one a crucial key for unlocking the transformational wisdom of our elder years. Together, these keys "connect the dots" to reveal your life's own unique genius and offering.

​

After decades of deeply-fulfilling work with individuals from all over the world at my former Center for SoulArts in Ojai, California, I’m thrilled to now offer this life-changing process in our new sanctuary home in the beautiful Ashland, Oregon!*​  Contact me for options
