Grief & Loss | Blended Families Midlife Transitions | Soul Work
“In seeking after what the soul desires... we become pilgrims with no home but the path the soul would have us follow.”
Soul Work
To tend and grow into our souls is why we have come here. Each of us carries within us with a specific mythic image in our deepest hearts that lets us know when we are on the scent. Usually when in contact with a part of our soul image, we want to move closer, we grow envious even, we don’t want to leave— even if we do.
Soul work is the process of saying yes to a deeper kind of listening, a deeper kind of way of joining into relationship with the world. It is a conversation that is not satisfied simply with making a family, writing a book, getting a promotion. It aches for more— but a kind of more that is usually invisible and only known to Soul.
If you are having dreams you yearn to understand, feel a rush of creative or energetic flow in new directions, or simply long to be in a different daily conversation than the one you are in, I would love to explore this
Midlife Transition
Midlife is an initiatory time in one’s life to begin searching for a new set of archetypes, myths and fairytales to guide one’s life as the challenges and dreams of youth are beginning to come to fruition, and hopefully beginning to become boring.
With this onset of boredom, many use midlife as playground for affairs, acts of revenge, massive purchases, replacing partners. These behaviors aren’t necessarily bad, but they will rarely fulfill the hole inside of us. We need a story that is beyond the heroine and the hero.
If you are an adult walking into, situated in, or well into midlife, I am here to walk with you into your new mythic story that is just beginning.
Grief & Loss
For so many of us, when a heart-wrenching loss devastates our life—when someone we love is now gone, when a dream we had for our life will now never be—we may lose our sense of up and down, our knowing of who we are and what our life means anymore.
Our family and friends, who may love us dearly, often do not know how to meet us in this new place— a place to which we went unwillingly and from which we will likely not return the same.
If you are facing the death of a beloved one or the death of a dream you’ve carried and tended, I am here to be a witness to the grief you bear, and to walk with you, with grief as your guide.
Be curious about where it wants to take you, what it wants to show you, who it is beckoning you still to become.
Blended Families
Blended families can be the source of incredible gifts for the bio parents, bonus parents and children, in that they can be fields for nurturing a child’s soulful multiplicity— a way of being in the world that is beyond rightdoing and wrongdoing.
But perhaps more often, the blending of families can serve as a container for deep grief and loss, catalyzing complex emotions for many in the family system. This is especially true when there is the presence of additional unexamined painful dynamics like infidelity, coercive control, enmeshment, and parental alienation.
If you are an adult in a blended family, whether a bio parent or stepparent, and are needing support and guidance to soulfully show up as a parent and partner amidst these complex dynamics, I am here.
