individual mindfulness & self-compassion trainingLike water flowing down a mountainside, our minds can develop regular grooves. This is helpful in navigating the complexities of daily life, but over time we can begin to feel stuck and stale as patterns form. Mindfulness and self-compassion skills are relatively safe and effective to learn. In the first session, you might find that you can step out of reactivity and relate to yourself and others with warmth. Developing mindfulness and self-compassion skills can support a wide range of therapeutic work including healing from many forms of trauma, healing from attachment wounds, and cultivating the capacity to be more present. We will move at your pace and work with what is happening in the present moment. Drawing on principles from Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) as taught by Jon Kabbat-Zinn and Mindfulness Self-compassion (MSC) as taught by Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer.

painting with the inner child art processWithin our complex human personalities we have an inner child who is tired of all the adulting and would like to show you how to play by simply putting color on a page. We may have been told a lot of things about making art in our lifetime (I have heard it all, too) and the inner child can show us how to set this chatter aside and simply paint for the sake of painting rather than feeling pressured to make "good" or "worthy" art, whatever that is. This process is for adults curious about cultivating a relationship with their inner child and those who would like some zero-pressure time and space to paint. Your art making process will be treated with respect as you learn how to let the inner child lead the way. No artistic ability is required. Supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own.

psychedelic integration sessionsPsychedelic integration sessions are for any individual who has experienced an altered state of consciousness, a spiritual awakening, or a mystical event and wants to process what happened in a safe container. These kinds of experiences can happen spontaneously in meditation, breathwork, being in nature, suffering a medical trauma, or by ingesting certain psychedelic plant medicines. Often they are hard to describe in ordinary language and there may be a desire to understand the experience, find meaning, and integrate the wisdom into your daily life. In traditional cultures all over the world, there was basic knowledge and support in cultivating a deeper relationship to this great mystery we call life. Whether you had a positive experience, a "bad trip", or a bit of both, your story will be treated with respect and curiosity. These sessions are for those wanting heart-centered, ongoing integration support as well as one-time integration sessions.
