Retreat Inquiry & Self-Introduction

“There are seasons when a life is too intelligent to keep running on its old design.”

Private Intensive Investment & Practical Details

 

Private Integral Intensives are offered as a one-on-one, in-residence experience in Ashland, Oregon.

Most retreats are 3–4 days.

​

 

Your private intensive investment is all-inclusive (excluding travel), covering your time with me, lodging, and meals during your stay. At times, you are also welcome to step out and enjoy Ashland’s restaurants and surroundings if and when it supports your deeper process.

​

 

Investment range: $7,500 – $10,500

​

Dependent upon number of days and whether financial structuring or other highly specialized needs are included. A follow-up, post-retreat check-in with additional support is most always offered if and as desired.

 

This work is 100% about you—from the deepest layers to the most practical. It is intended to be life-supporting in a way not possible at these levels of depth through other means. It asks for a real investment—of time, attention, respect, and resources.*

​

 

Flights into Rogue Valley International–Medford Airport (MFR), serviced by major airlines. Approximately a 25-minute drive door-to-door to our private home retreat. We are located 8 miles from downtown Ashland.

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 perception, as well as pragmatic structural lifestyle changes with implementable direction.

​

 

Each intensive is completely tailored to the needs, timing, and take-home support materials of the individual.

​

For example, a former private client and political figure from Switzerland came to formulate a more soul-aligned business model—one that allowed him to bring his deeper nature forward into his life’s work. Another woman arrived following the unexpected passing of her husband of 40 years, to both honor what had been lived and to realign herself with what was calling her into a next chapter. A couple living in Dubai came to consciously dissolve their marriage with clarity and respect, creating forward movement aligned with each individual’s emerging sense of value and purpose.

​

 

If something here gives you a sense of inner tug, I invite you to peruse the writings on this site, feel into the depth of this work, and offer an initial Retreat Inquiry/Self-Introduction to begin a dialogue and see whether this is the right time and place for your next step.

​________________

* NOTE ON SUBSTANCE USES: 

I do not use, offer, or incorporate psychedelic or mind-altering substances in this depth process.

While there may be appropriate clinical uses in certain contexts, it is my experience that using a substance to push open an inner experience introduces a force that is not aligned with what a person’s own natural capacity is ready to meet.

​

I believe that working without external substances allows for a more stable, integrated, and sustainable unfolding of awareness.

​

I do not judge others for different choices, but please know in advance that no substance use of any kind is part of this organic process.

 

Private Intensive Inquiry

 

If you feel called to this work, please begin with an initial personal introduction and offering any questions or special needs you may have.

​

There is no formal application at this stage.

What matters is that you take a moment to speak honestly about where you are in your life and what most speaks to you and calls you to this private process together.

​

Please take a little time on my website reading a few articles and the details of this work -- feeling into your inner sense as you do, and then send me an initial one page Retreat Inquiry through the contact page or email. 

 

From there, we will connect and listen together for whether this is the right process for you and at this time.

I look forward to hearing from you if or when the time calls to you.
