Curiosity. Receptivity. Expansion. Awakening.
Spiritual counseling for a new era of infinite possibilities.
It seems to me that we are collectively moving into a bold new period of spiritual progress, melodious with so many distinctive soul songs. Now each of us can have our own direct and magnificent experience of the divine, no longer needing to submit to any particular ideology, moral system, or guru. The counseling I provide is dedicated to the ethic of two human beings with full equality coming together to support our individual experiences of enlightenment, transcendence, and wonder.
Offering encouragement and mutuality, wherever you are on your journey.
You may be in the process of recovering from the strictures of childhood religious indoctrination, or perhaps you feel spiritually alienated, but have inklings that there is more to discover. Some of you may have had breathtaking, mind-opening, transformative experiences, but don’t have other people in your life who share those kinds of breakthroughs. And many of you may be quite accelerated in your spiritual growth, but could use some help learning how to successfully navigate at a high velocity. Wherever you currently find yourself, it would be an honor to help you discover your own distinctive path forward, and help you more deeply trust your own intuitive abilities.
Embracing the vibrational quality of every moment we spend together.
If you come to me for spiritual support, I will initially explore with you what would be most helpful during our time together. I can offer a wide variety of resources and maps, some of which are described briefly below. I can also help you work out the knotty kinks in your thoughts, perhaps to help reconcile seemingly conflictual spiritual concepts. For most of the individuals I work with, the biggest benefit comes when together we can enter into the present moment and learn to tune in to the many different qualities of the here-and-now. While our spiritual ideas, memories of peak experiences, and visions for the future can provide wonderful guideposts, what is happening right now is, in my experience, when divinity fully emerges. I may suggest that we slow down our process, attending to our breath, practicing an attitude of acceptance toward whatever feelings or sensations may be arising. As we become curious about what’s happening in the present, we are each offered a choice for how to move into the next moment. It may be helpful to go deeper into the present feeling, and learn more about accessing warm compassion for difficult emotion. Or you may feel ready to actively heighten your perspective and soar into expanded multi-dimensional awareness and ecstasy. I will stay present with you in whatever direction you want to go, providing openhearted encouragement and safety throughout your ascensional process.
Our life experiences as spiritual training.
I look forward to helping you discover the emergent wisdom I believe you already have within you, arising from your divine essence and also the accumulated knowledge of every moment you’ve been alive. It has been delightful to gain appreciation for how every experience in my life has contributed to my spiritual evolution, while also keeping myself ever-more open to new inspirations. Ever since being a gay kid growing up in the midst of Alaskan wildness—nurtured by my free-spirited mom and the soulful indigenous women who helped care for me—I have been endlessly fascinated by the question of my own existence, identity, purpose, and possibilities. This curiosity has led to the exploration of many different spiritual practices, along with professional education and training in the art of psychotherapy, with an emphasis on Jungian inner work. For over two decades, I dove deeply into engagement with my own unconscious shadow-side, gaining substantial self-knowledge but also increasing humility about the incredible wondrous vastness of the universe within and the multiverse all around. In recent years, I have regained an enriched appreciation for the light, and the re-ascendence of the sacred feminine, along with the emergence of a new kind of heart-centered masculine in the process of healing from dominating impulses. All this learning has inspired me to seek out places of natural splendor, where Mother Earth can hold me in her inherent rhythmic wisdom, and where the inspiration of the ancestors and many other guides feels readily accessible. Now my life is devoted to savoring the eternal quality of every precious moment, through both peak experiences and a daily practice of embodied living in gratitude and awe. Integral to this approach to life is the honor of engaging with other likeminded folks for reciprocal encouragement.
Embracing your empowerment, alignment, and freedom.
While my personal life odyssey will naturally inform how I support your spiritual development, my goal is always to help you to find your own unique way into connection with Source, or Oneness, or however you want to approach the sacred. While I may share my learning, heart impulses, and intuitions with you, I strive to never impose a particular religious system, but rather support you living in total freedom, trusting your own intuition, just as it has been my deepest joy to find that kind of liberation for myself.
Suggested concepts and resources for possible inspiration.
Here are several themes, inspirations, and practices that I have found beneficial, and some of which may also be useful to you. While many of these have been distorted and even ridiculed in pop culture, I find they can be very stimulating, especially when I am able to move under superficial reactions to appreciate the quality of feeling they can generate in me. I find there is a very powerful practice available to each of us in learning how to cultivate these aspects of our existence and awakening. I would be happy to explore any or all of these further with you, or we can start at the very beginning with no preconceptions at all, and I am eager to enthusiastically support your own interests and inspirations.
Acceptance. Learning how to accept ourselves and each other unconditionally can be enlightenment itself, creating a liberation from shame, sin, and judgment that creates a wonderful new receptivity for direct connection with the divine that is, in my experience, already present within.
Light. Our biological existence is very much dependent on the light of our sun, and perhaps likewise, we are each truly beings of light which we can learn to relish in every moment, and also enhance through appreciation of our chakras, those vortexes of light each radiating a different color of the rainbow from significant locations in our bodies. There are also so many other ways of working with light as it beams brightly throughout our consciousness, environment, galaxy, and beyond.
Vibration. Regularly asking myself “What is my vibration now?” gives me the opportunity to possibly raise that energetic emanation in a way that can bring more joy to every moment, and also improve my relationships with other people, while making me more open and available for connection with guides and entities operating at higher vibrations and who are eager to support my spiritual growth.
Love. One of my greatest personal discoveries has been finding an abiding unconditional divine love within, one that I believe each of us can learn to access, for ourselves and toward all other beings. This kind of love is so beautiful in its own right—and can also serve as a polestar in navigating the opportunities and challenges found in our interpersonal relationships, including with family, friends, sex, and romance.
Abundance. It can be life-changing to move toward a celebration of abundance and gratitude, especially when that is replacing an older default attitude of financial and spiritual scarcity.
Personal guides. The feeling that we are each painfully alone in our own minds may be a distortion of what’s actually happening. Many of us are learning how to open up to the felt presence of higher selves, angels, ascended masters, extra-terrestrials, inter-dimensionals, and Source itself, providing a heart-healing sense of true belonging in a universe imbued with generous love and inspiration.
Channeling. Human beings have been “channeling” different voices, entities, and personalities throughout our history, as described throughout sacred scriptures, literature, and art. Now with easy access for most of us to YouTube, there has been a wonderful renaissance in the vibrational beauty and quality of messaging coming from a wide variety of individuals who are publicly offering free wisdom in a channeled state. I can help you get better oriented in this ever-evolving resource, offering suggestions for viewing those channeled beings who I have found most inspiring. Many of these communications can be experienced as spiritual activations or transmissions even more profound than the words or sounds being shared. You may already be aware of your own ability to channel, or if we broaden the notion a bit, perhaps each of us is continually channeling different aspects of our being.
Higher dimensions. A prominent theme in the New Age/New Earth community is the understanding that humanity is in the process of ascending to what’s referred to as the fifth dimension, and the possibility of moving into even higher dimensions. While these concepts may not correspond exactly to current scientific theories around multi-dimensional physics, there appears to be increasing consensus about their qualities as described by a wide variety of channelers and other spiritual intuitives.
Ancestral and galactic wisdom. Learning to honor and help revive the profound shamanic wisdom of indigenous people throughout the globe feels like an essential healing of human history, and a bounty of support for reconnecting with our beautiful planet and the spirits living amongst us. In addition, each of us has a complex lineage going back thousands and even millions of years, with possible influences from other civilizations and entities. Many people today identify as “starseeds,” expressing a profound felt connection to other societies and dimensions beyond our own solar system and perceived reality.
Rewriting our past. Spiritual development often involves coming to terms with ways that we’ve experienced injustice, trauma, abuse, and/or neglect. Paradoxically, in that very process of sincerely accounting for the past, we can develop a new perspective and fresh narrative about our personal history, and recognize that each of us is so much more in soul, spirit and love than how our trauma and suffering might try to define us.
Oneness. Consider that you are an absolutely beautiful and utterly unique shimmering spark of the full light of Source coming to know itself through you, and together we form one glorious unity consciousness.
Mystery. It seems to me that all ideas we have about the sacred are different ways of pointing toward the great ineffable mystery of existence that is inevitably beyond our current capacity to understand, but which perhaps we can learn to enjoy right now in a felt way, especially when we tune into the emanating vibrations of love, soul, spirit, universe, multiverse, omniverse, and beyond.
Taking the next step.
I offer the themes above as initial suggestions that can hopefully be held lightly and played with to see how they fit for you. Of course, there are so many additional concepts and practices that may be useful for spiritual expansion. It would be an honor to connect with you about ways that I might support your own distinctive adventure in all its ecstasy and grace.
