RETREAT INQUIRY & SELF-INTRODUCTION
“There are seasons when a life is too intelligent to keep running on its old design.”
A Note About Fit
Not every inquiry leads to a retreat.
This work asks for a willingness to meet yourself honestly and to be present with what is arising.
It is not crisis intervention or ongoing therapeutic care. It offers fundamental, life shifting inner awareness alongside new modes of inner awareness, as well as very pragmatic structural lifestyle changes with implementable direction.
Each intensive is completely tailored to the needs, timing and take-home support materials for a given person. For example, recently a former private client and political figure from Switzerland came to help formulate a soul-aligned business model that shifted toward a willingness to bring his soul and spirit forward in his life work. Another woman came recently after her husband of 40 years unexpectedly passed away just after moving to a new home and to both honor the life and the endings as well as realign herself to what her deepest essence calls in her as she moves into a next chapter of her life. A couple living in Dubai with a joint business came to dissolve their marriage honorably and with clear moving processes that met each individuals new and emerging senses of value and purpose.
If something here gives you a sense of inner tug, I invite you to perusing the many writings here, review the depth of this offering, and offer an initial "Retreat Inquiry/Self-Introduction in order to begin a dialogue to see if this is the right time and place for exploring your next calling in life.
________________
* NOTE ON SUBSTANCE USES: I do not use, offer, nor adhere to the use of "medicine" or psychedelic compounds for this depth process. While there are potentially some good and right clinical uses at times, it is my experience and opinion that using a substance to "push open an inner experience" carries an inherent force..... one which (by definition) is not natural to what a person's own natural capacity is ready for. I believe that using anything external (such as a mind-altering drug) can thereby have destabilizing impacts that are not rightly timed for the individual's mind/body/soul. I do not condemn others for this choice, but please know in advance that no substance use of any kind is allowed or used in this organic process which I offer.
