Mentoring

Move beyond the drain and distress of dominant culture and into calm, trust, and connection.

From Blah to Belonging

​

 Next small group mentoring session begins in April

​

​If you are a busy & socially engaged professional who cares deeply about the state of our world, chances are you feel exhausted and overwhelmed a lot of the time.
 

That's because to live and be successful in this dominant culture, we are taught to move at a very fast pace, to constantly take care of others, and to always strive to do our best. We feel like we have to always keep going so that we don't drown.

But this often leaves us feeling disconnected from ourselves,  from our true interconnected nature and sense of purpose.

The disconnection and drain of our dominant culture shows up as Blah--which might mean we often feel anxious, exhausted, lonely, or burned out--like we can never stop to rest or do enough or get ahead, like we're wilting. We get stuck in patterns that don't feel good but are rewarded within our dominant culture. We get stuck in Blah by avoiding and numbing out.

We might think this is just how it is, or that there's nothing we can really do.  But, I believe we can move beyond getting stuck in the Blah of our dominant culture.

We can learn to sidestep the drain and despair of our dominant culture by rooting into Belonging.  Be-longing is our longing to truly be who we are, to feel spiritually connected, to know ourselves as having a place and a purpose in this world.

When we reconnect to belonging, we feel more calm, confident, purposeful, and in-alignment. We trust ourselves and our life-path. We learn how to step away from being constantly drained and into a life that is more connected and enlivened. We have space to regularly build sacred connection and meaningful relationships.​

I can help you move out of the drain, disconnect, and despair of dominant culture (Blah!) and toward Belonging.  I’ll support you in cultivating new heart-ways, somatic and earth-based practices, and spiritual connection so that you'll feel more whole, and so that you can approach your life and work with alignment and groundedness.

Together we'll travel from Blah to Belonging. In this guided process I will show you how to:

• Listen and reconnect to the wisdom of your body and heart so that you can trust your inner guidance

• Learn to trust your connection to earth and Life so that you feel more supported

• Deeply notice patterns of dominant culture so that you'll feel less stuck or stagnant

• Reconnect to your core values, needs, and longings so you can really honor who you are

• Practice envisioning new possibilities that feel easeful and abundant (we can't live it if we can't imagine it)

• Learn how to take new steps beyond the drain and despair of dominant culture so that your life feels more joyful and purposeful

• Gain a greater sense of alignment so that you feel clarity and confidence in your next steps

​

We can work together one on one, or you can join a small group.

Mentoring may be a good fit if:
 

• You are a change-maker, culture-shifter, space-holder or care-taker. You give a lot to others and you feel depleted.

​

• You feel consistently overwhelmed and under-inspired. You know you need a change and want more for your life but aren't sure how to get there.

​

• You feel unclear about how you could really make lasting change in your life. You're stuck in your head going over all the possibilities, or you spend a lot of time numbing out.

​

• You often find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, or exhausted. You feel a lot of "not-enoughness" and self-doubt.

​

• You feel under-resourced or undervalued in your work or life and you are longing for more a more meaningful life that fills you up. You want your values and gifts to be aligned with the work you do.

​

• You want your life to feel purposeful and meaningful so that you can experience more joy.

​​

• You feel burned out or nearing burnout and you need support so that you can find your way beyond.
