And there are no new pains. We have felt them all already. We have hidden that fact in the same place where we have hidden our power. They lie in our dreams, and it is our dreams that point the way to freedom
Audre Lorde
The Work of Being Human
The daily practice of being fully human is fraught and complex and beautiful. Learning to trust the authority of your lived experience and follow the true calling of your soul demands a level of accountability to self and to others that can feel at once frightening and enlivening.
To support your process my offerings draw from somatic, creative, and contemplative principles and practices. Together we will hold the totality of your life experience in the divinity of its ordinariness as your unique talents, gifts, and personal genius are revealed to you by you.
I am interested in what you consider to be the meaning of a life well lived. Where that meaning is uncertain or yet to be revealed, I hope to support you in moving into playful amazement and curiosity toward all that cannot be known. The goal is not to heal or fix, but to mutually create an environment within which the most ancient, wise, and knowing self can emerge and be witnessed, and where the existential concerns of a human life may be contemplated with reverence.
We are the song God sings.
