True art arises from the heart of I. You are the portal to a unique view of this existence. In this particular time and space you offer the most valuable outlook for your greatest fulfillment. Your interpretation of reality must be nurtured and refined in order to distill your vision. When you are unable to draw forth from the richest essence of your own interior vistas then your art stagnates and your heart suffers.
Art, regardless if it is meant for others or only yourself, must be imbued with the fusion of your own personal insight, experience, yearning, and power. Awakening to your own sense of self must continually be challenged and cultivated, else you flounder in the nuances of potential without ever tasting the truth of potency. Whether a painter, sculptor, or musician; dancer, designer, or writer – regardless of your chosen form of artistic mastery – when you are unable to find that next thread of your weave it is essential to find the way.
The Wayfinder will provide you with the most ingenious and sophisticated means to claim your next incarnation of artistry. With intelligence and creativity the following services will hold and push both your edges and your failures until you can manifest the new expression of your deepest I.

When you need to get away to do some deep personal work, a Solo Retreat is exactly what you are looking for. Based on what you desire to achieve – where you need to go in your life – I’ll create a Solo Retreat that will take you into the depths of who you are. The scope of this retreat is definitely crafted to meet your needs. Silence, provocation, enjoyment, shadow-work, conversation, physical challenge, relaxation, meditation, laughter, collaboration, emotional work, fun, peace, chaos – all of this and more is possible.
The creative arc of your Solo Retreat is determined by what you need for your next phase of artistic expression.

Where we go and what we do is based upon by what you want to achieve and the scope of your budget. In a Solo Retreat bigger is not better. All of this can also happen locally right where you live. What reigns supreme in a Solo Retreat is access to what you need in order to consummate what is next for you.
As your guide I am actively involved in ensuring you are met in manner that will serve you to the deepest and fullest in your retreat. Consider what you need right now for your next chapter, your new canvas. Connect with me, I’ll offer some ideas for a Solo Retreat, and we’ll take it from there.
We all have a limit. Often we live, work, and play within the safe realms of that limit. That is a wise and healthy thing to do. Sometimes however, in order to touch into and taste what’s beyond we need to go beyond our limits, push ourselves to that next space, that next level of our lives.
The intriguing problem is however, we can get to the point that HOW we go about pushing our limits is actually not working for us any more. Even though we might turn up the volume, we end up using the same techniques over and over again. We might try to think out of the box to challenge ourselves, yet we still are seeing the box in a particular way – the way we always do. Just the fact that you believe you have to think out of the box IS the indicator that you are ready for more. Getting out of the box is just the starting point.
Cracking Your Code is a means to radically shift your current way of comprehension and creation. This 48h state experience is designed to crack the code of your regular way of knowing your limits. Based within the practices and rituals of shamanic and yogic ceremony this two-day process will heat you up to the point of discovering how you place limits on your limits. This process is not for the faint of heart, body, or mind. A thorough assessment and preparation process is necessary in order to participate.
If you are ready to start working with the edges of your own limits in a new way, in an unprecedented fashion, in a manner that swallows the box whole – then it might be time to Crack Your Code.
A unique opportunity to discover how much you “Walk Your Talk”. A Collaborative Witness session is composed of three parts.
One: An initial 90-minute long meeting to discover what exactly you want to achieve yet are having challenges with. You obviously want to achieve something, yet are unable to do so thus far. We’ll discuss what that looks like and your experiences in attempting.
Two: We establish a set amount of time that I spend with you. This includes spending time with you at your office, studio, or creative zone. This might also include going to your meetings and appointments. Especially indicated would be times and occurrences that relate to the goal you want to achieve in our work together. I remain a silent witness, like a shadow following you around for the set time period. The amount of time will be established based on the scope of your goals.
Three: A 1.5 to 2 hour follow-up session to review what I witnessed in relation to your goals. We’ll discuss what was observed, insights and ideas, and we’ll create a plan for you to move forward. This may include designs for practices, suggestions for counter-intuitive changes, or a move into a Condensed Coaching Program. We will collaboratively come up with the next steps that will serve you in your goals.
The Collaborative Witness package can be a one-time event. We can also synthesize several sessions together. As well, the Collaborative Witness service can be integrated into a larger, longer-lasting program.
