The Master once referred to the Hindu notion that all creation is “leela”— God’s play—and the universe is his playground. The aim of spirituality, he claimed, is to make all life play.This seemed too frivolous for a puritanical visitor. “Is there no room then for work?”“Of course there is. But work becomes spiritual only when it is transformed into play.”--Anthony de Mello
On my own journey of healing and wholeness, I finally claim within myself my identity as "wounded healer" and accept the gifts that my essential Self can offer for the wellbeing of the Whole. My own path has led me to discover the treasures hidden in the experiences of transformational change, and though change can be painful, full of fear of the unknown and the ache of loss and grief, I can trust the process of transformation itself because I see it reflected in the natural world and in those who have forged a path before me. My experience of continued healing has helped me identify and transform internalized messages that say: "you are too much", "you are not enough", "you are not worthy", "you are alone." Left unexamined, these messages can stop us on our track and keep us paralyzed, out of touch with our most treasured, interconnected and abiding Self and disconnected from the Sacred source around us.
My healing path led me to become immersed in Fr. Thomas Keating's Spiritual Journey Series at Contemplative Outreach of Colorado in 2013. In 2017, I graduated from the Benedictine Spiritual Formation Program as a Spiritual Director. Nature-based spirituality is the ground upon which I walk now and continue to grow in my awareness of Mystery and Magic through an understanding of depth-ecology and depth-psychology practices. Now, as a transformational eco-based coach and guide, I help you feel thrivingly alive and live from a place of authenticity, radical self-acceptance and wholeness.
I believe that playfulness and creativity are part of our path to growth and transformation. I am a graduate of the Bovine School of Improv and continue to be a student of improv with Evergreen Players Studio One and All In Ensemble. Through improv, I continue to learn how to be more playful, more open, more accepting, and more compassionate.
Prior to launching my coaching practice, I led a 10-year career in the international non-profit sector, first as founder of Into Your Hands-Africa (now Rooted Africa), later serving as the Executive Director for AfricAid and Africa Network for Animal Welfare (ANAW-USA). I have a Master in Non-Profit Management from Regis University.
I am a certified Nature Connected Life Coach (NCC) and Transformational Wilderness Guide (TWG), graduate of Earth Based Institute's Nature Connected Life Coaching program, an ICF approved program, Along with my NCC and TWG certifications, I am also a certified Ceremony and Rites of Passage Facilitator, certified through Ceremony and Rites of Passage Global Training (Nature Knows and Wilderness Therapy Institute.) and use Soulcraft, dreamwork, and sacred imagination practices to guide your rediscovery and claiming of your "mythic image" or Soul identity.
I offer a trusting, deeply listening and supportive presence that companions you into becoming your purpose-connected, authentic self. Though not psychotherapy, Nature Connected Coaching can be a therapeutic and transformational experience.
Through Earth Based Institute's (EBI) life coaching program, I am trained in:
As a Ceremony and Rites of Passage facilitator, I also guide you to create a container for deep transformative work by helping you create culturally relevant, respectful and unique personal rites of passage ceremonies. Through this process, I support individuals through their own life’s turning points as a neutral witness that listens deeply, asks important questions, and mirrors their lived experience. Through this work, we extrapolate the aliveness, meaning and symbols into a personally relevant ceremony to mark their new way of walking in the world.
