Healing is not an end destination - not for those who seek freedom.
Healing traces your origin back to the wound, back to the dis-ease. Healing has you taking stock of what is not right, what is not perfect, what was done wrong, until you begin to evaluate yourself through the narrow lens of sickness and trauma. Your identity was never meant to fit inside that tiny little box. You’re more original than that.
When you first set out on your healing journey, what you craved was a sense of liberation. The clarity to know and un-restrict yourself. The energy to be yourself.
Underlying the symptoms and the discord, what you’ve always been thirsty for is a wider sense of why you exist on this planet, living in this era of cultural unraveling. You’re hungry for a promise that your life is meaningful – beyond your own lifetime.
Healing is not the end destination you seek. Although it’s a necessary background function, whose on-switch should be checked and maintenanced often. But you came to experience your daily breaths and sensations and motions in wilder strokes than just sickness and health.
Individuation is the upward movement. It emphasizes originality … gives charge to your signature way of interpreting life, plugs you into your unadulterated creativity.
Individuation is not the same as individualistic.
The individualistic being uses the Collective to puff up their separate identity. Individuation is different. It is rebellion medicine.
Individuation is how your originality nourishes the Collective.
Individuation moves you, and those in your orbit, beyond the distortions of the manufactured world, beyond mainstream narratives, beyond diagnoses and trauma, and beyond the power grasping systems that are striving to force upon us their relevance.
Who are you when you’re not compliant with manufactured culture?
How does your relationship with power, and money, and your body, and the Earth, and the people who pass through your life change when you individuate from the maps prescribed to you by an unwell society?
What balm does your ensouled originality provide to a struggling world that doesn’t possess the answers?
These are some of the questions and explorations you’ll sift through when you sit with me.
Whether in private Zoom sessions, or on an upcoming Rooted Rebirth retreat in Guatemala, you will connect with an emerging version of you who holds keys for birthing a more dignified world.
The story of your life does not move forward when it circles wounding (though wounding has made for some love-worthy chapters).
The reason why you’re alive in this era – where both the apocalypse and revolution are happening side-by-side - is for a cause much wider than your healing journey.
Lots of folks exhaling an identity right now. Searching for clarity about their place in an unrecognizable world.
Asking how they can possibly contribute to Collective Healing & Autonomy when Collective Wounding keeps running deep.
Time we use disillusionment as a moral compass.
To double-down on our devotion & ensure that our life’s walk will birth a more dignified world.
That’s why we just finalized the details of our first ever private retreats on a lake in Guatemala that formed from a massive volcanic eruption nearly 80,000 years ago.
Our friends, indigenous to these lands, are going to help you understand how this place, in all its wild edges, is a microcosm of the global challenges we’re facing as a humanity.
This is for the ones who can no longer ignore the inner voice that tells you there’s a deeper way to serve … and that there is a way to make bigger difference.
That difference is a perception shift. A cultural un-doing. A revolution of your relationship with power, money, the Earth, your body, and each other.
For 4 years, we have built relationships with this place and its people, getting pruned and humbled, and asking, what does the land (beneath its facade of storefronts and hotels) WANT to teach Westerners like us?
Many come here as tourists, relish in the gentrification, naively sign-up for culturally-appropriated spiritual classes, hand out soccer balls to local kids to satisfy their longing to “give back,” and then go home thinking they had an authentic experience. That is everything that this retreat is NOT.
You’ll hear stories of colonial history from our indigenous friends. You’ll see firsthand the impact of modern development on wild ecosystems and a civilization’s water source. You’ll be educated by real-world exposure.
You will begin to see your place inside of this strange era, and your impact on the future, in a way you haven’t before … (without the distortions of your culture and your media and your trauma standing in the way of how revolutionary you can be).
This experience will give you a starting point on a new map for your life.
It will be an evolutionary leap into your deeper way of serving.
Stay tuned for the details!
