This mentorship is thought of as a cycle of surrendering, shedding and blossoming, as the old initiation rites, where you will be guided to explore your inner world, learn to listen to your body and the stories it carries, find new pathways of awakening, restore relationship with the earth and offer yourself to the cauldron of your transformation, allowing new life to flow through the cracks of your heart.

​

​

Yes, this journey will invite you to ask, at times, uncomfortable questions, it will bring you to the edge of your being so that you can begin to welcome new/old horizons within yourself and in the ways you relate to life, it will challenge old stories and patterns and invite you to expand your capacity to receive and be received by life.

 

This journey will be a compassionate space to be mirrored, witnessed and guided in your own awakening. 

​

It will invite you to rekindle connection to your embodied self, to release old places of tension and allow more vibrancy to flow through you.

​

It will help you see the world not as an object out there but as a thriving and alive ally and companion from which to draw inspiration and healing.

​

It will invite you to ask what it means to be a true human being, which in our world is not a given anymore. A human that is initiated in its responsibility and right to be part of an intimate web of relationships.

❋ Too often in our world we miss containers to support us in our transformations, we feel left alone, unsure of how to approach our own changes and transformation, how to live a more free and embodied life.

 

❋ Too often we are taught to rush through lives, to be disconnected and numb and we don't have the courage to just say "stop" and take the time we need to allow ourselves to feel, to grieve, to be in joy and celebration and listen to all the spectrum and textures that inhabit us. 

​

❋ Too often we yearn for spaces where we can feel safe, held, seen and witnessed in our own becoming, to let ourselves be exactly as we are, who we are, yet it seems as if the world is always trying to make us be something else, mold us, make us smaller.

​

❋ Too often we live in isolation, in a world where the more-than-human has lost a place in our lives and, therefore, everything feels a little flat and without a sense of belonging.

The truth is, we all behold a special song inside, one that is both eternal and ever changing. This song longs to be expressed and shared. However, too often there are layers of old stories, of hurt, of embodied patterns that hold us back, including stories that are present in our own communities and cultures.

​

 

  ∴   ∴   ∴ 

​

This will be a journey of softening the edges. As we travel within, meeting the places of holding, we can start unraveling and let more space be created so that our more true and essential voice can be revealed, so that we can restore a sense of belonging to self and to the vaster, wider web of relationships that we are always in relationship to, so that we can return to a sense of wholeness that is our true nature. 

​

To access this deeper well of knowing we must keep journeying inside, like the ancient myths tell us, keep descending down, into the dark places of our soma and psyche (which are one) in order to find the jewels we behold. This our ancestors knew. This is the rhythm of the earth.

​

This mentorship journey is designed to accompany you in your descent, to practice deep listening, to slow down and create space, to let go and surrender, to find more sensual aliveness in yourself and in your relationships. It works on a multidimensional level, it brings you out of old stories so embedded within you and actually devotes itself, wholeheartedly, to apprentiship you to the language of your soul, to reconnect to a sense of deep embodied belonging and to rekindle your relationship with the breath of aliveness. 

 

You will be guided to explore the territories of your own soma/psyche, body/mind, to remember new/ancient ways of being and relating in your life.

The self that appeals to me is the self that has not been conditioned solely by culture, whether family, religion, education, or economics, but rather the one found under these systems of domestication --the wild self, the self at once sovereign and entwined with the living world. It is this self that can extend its reach into the surrounding rings of connection--with vacant lots, watersheds, returning salmon, with children and struggling communities--and sense its intimate bond with all of them. This self is co-mingled with all the others that share this shining planet. When we can step into this wider and wilder state of identity, our isolation falls away and we return to a state of participation and belonging."
