Discovering a new, courageous and authentic way of being

“Stay together friends-don’t scatter and sleep. Our friendship is made of being awake.”

Are you longing to take a courageous step forward?

And holding yourself back at the same time?

How much longer are you going to wait? Before you do what you really want to do. Before you live the way you really want to live. Before you can listen to the whisper of your authentic self.

For the next three months, you have an opportunity to engage in the same process as the ‘Taking the Courageous Step’  coaching group, without needing to be here in Nelson.  You will be working with one other person – a buddy or a partner, or a friend – instead of six or eight people. This deepens the work and gives you a lot more personal time working with me, and with whomever your partner is. You can find this person yourself, or you can find them through me. (See Options 1 and 2 below.)

A courageous step doesn’t have to be big. Sometimes the most courageous steps are very small. But they lead to another step, and then another. The courageous step happens when you are in transition from an old way of being to a new one. When you feel trapped in an old identity, stuck inside something that is much too small for who you really are. When you are ‘unwinding an old life’ as some people have expressed this to me. When the new person, who is your future self, starts nudging you, letting you know that the time to move forward is now. The courageous step happens when your longing to participate fully in life gets stronger than your desire to be comfortable.

We will be practicing together, in a shared space of living presence. There is a ‘we space’ that emerges as we connect with each other. In this higher frequency, we can contact directly the boundless field of love and intelligence that is immensely supportive of our healing and transformation. We learn to work with and expand the radius of our awareness, so that we are capable of embracing much more than we believed possible. That which has been unknown, unseen and unheard emerges in our experience, and we realize that we can make choices we have never made before.

How does this work?

Option 1: You can find this other person. This is a great opportunity for couples, but it can be anyone who is ready to explore this way of being together. It doesn’t have to be a friend- it could be someone in your social network, or a colleague. It could be a facebook friend. They don’t even have to live in the same place, because we’ll be working on skype and/or the phone. Once you have found this person, one of you contacts me and we set up a free discovery session on skype or on my conference line, where the three of us will meet.

Option 2: I connect you with the person, who has contacted me because they are interested in doing this too. We will have an initial free 40 minute discovery session on skype or the phone together, so you can both get a sense of the other person, and the kind of work you will be doing together. You can decide during our call, whether or not you are ready to step into this journey with this person and myself.

One Month or Two Months

You and your partner do a full month of Courageous Step coaching with me. When you do it this way, you cut your individual coaching fees in half. And you have access to a ‘triad,’ a field of three people, that is actually more powerful than just working with me on your own. During each session, you and your partner will be working with me and with each other. You will also meet and practice with each other between sessions. And I will also be sending you written material to read and study.

I’ve done Courageous Step coaching with two people and it was very powerful for both of them. That’s what has inspired me to offer this new coaching program.

You can also could spread the sessions out over two months if you prefer to do your sessions every two weeks.

A Psycho-Spiritual Approach

Working in a triad like this is a beautiful way to invite an opening, a renewal to happen in your life. This approach integrates psychological work and spiritual practice. One without the other does not really work very well. Real transformation happens when you are able to develop and heal on a human level, and deepen your connection with your living presence, the depths of your being. I have confidence in this work, because I have seen the evidence. There is deep healing and liberation available to all of us, if we engage in this kind of work. All you have to do is find the willingness to participate, to listen to something larger and deeper than your conditioned mind. You have no idea of how much you have to give and receive until you step into this kind of energy field.

Your Fees

You each pay one payment of $252.50, or two payments of $132.00 canadian, plus the paypal fees which are 3% of the total. Plus GST if you live in Canada.

This is an opportunity to do some deep and transformative practice, for a very reasonable price. This coaching is for you if you have the desire, the longing to live a life that is true to yourself. To embrace both your human and spiritual nature. To discover a deeply authentic and loving way of being. To become more intimate with yourself, with others and with life.

The courageous step almost always feels impossible. That’s why you can’t do it by yourself. On your own you will think about it, worry about it, dream about it, fret about it. You’ll feel the evolutionary pressure of that next step. But you won’t do it by yourself. This is what the ‘Taking the Courageous Step’ work is all about. It helps you break the spell of “I have to be strong, I have to do this by myself, I have to get it right.” Find out what it’s like to be supported. Find out how to start trusting in the loving intelligence of life.

Our work will include dialogue and conversation, meditation, contemplation, inquiry, energetic practices and partner exercises.
