Because each person's Process is unique, there is no cookie-cutter template for what emerges in one-on-one sessions. Sessions are different for each individual and tailored to the specific goals and themes stirring at any given time.

While no two sessions are identical, there is a general flow, pattern, or framework within which this exploration occurs.

INITIAL MEET-UP: Attunement / Co-Discovery

ORIENTEERING: Cultivating a Process-Map for Future Work

CO-WALKING: Journeying Through the Gates of Arising Themes

As we journey together, different themes arise. Like any journey, as new themes arise, so too does our mapping and tracking. At times, we also revisit some of the terrain we have covered because the practice of retrospection offers its own insights and perspective.

In addition to this essential framework, Soulfaring sessions generally adhere to the following features:

COMMITMENT TO SOULFARING

All fellow travelers a.k.a. "clients" interested in engaging in the work of Soulfaring will be asked to make a commitment of time to the process. This is not a commitment to me; it is a commitment to yourself and your path.

Much like the discipline of faithfully recording dreams in a dream journal, which produces increased fluency and activation of the powers of the personal unconscious, when we actively make a commitment to our path and innerwork, it aligns our energies with the journey.

Making a commitment to the work of Soulfaring is two-fold:

1) Meeting bi-weekly or monthly over Zoom or Signal

and

2) Being willing to engage in at-home innerwork and assignments in between sessions including journaling, recording dreams, and making note of energetic shifts

MY COMMITMENT TO YOU

After each session, I weave our dialogue, and anything stirred from the experiential processes that have taken place, into two of my core daily practices: forest wandering and quiet-sitting. I "take you for a walk," so to speak, replay our dialogue, and sit in meditation within Nature. I attune myself again to your personal Process and the archetypal themes and energies that have revealed themselves. Various questions, insights, connections, commentary, resources to explore further, and/or suggestions arise as a result, which I then prepare for you as a brief session follow-up document I call a "Journey Report."

THE JOURNEY REPORT

(A "Field Report" of Themes)

Within a day or two of our session, you will receive what I call a "journey report" — a snapshot of themes that arose during our dialogue and innerwork, along with a dispatch containing a variety of other potential facets for you to consider.

After our initial session, the Journey Report will often be more extensive as we actively map out the working themes that we will continue to explore. As we proceed with the work, these dispatches become brief, streamlined one-pagers. This map becomes our prime orientation, which we continue to follow in future sessions.

Journey Reports may include:

+ questions of sacred inquiry (Quest-I-On)

+ suggested practices, visualizations

+ articles or suggested books

+ videos relevant to themes

+ journal writing exercises, and more

Any resource, experiment, practice, journal writing exercise, Quest-I-On Question, or other suggestions is intended to augment the emerging themes from sessions and is offered with the intention of supporting you in cultivating greater clarity and deepening your connection to your own soul and life path.

These offerings -- combined with your own disciplined attention to journaling and contemplating themes between sessions -- become a "map." Looking back, it will become obvious that the journey through the various themes will have been akin to traveling through a terrain of gateways, openings, and discoveries. "Journey Reports" enable you to go back and revisit these gates and themes at any time. At various junctures along the way, you will also be asked to review and 'tune back in' with earlier journey reports.

THE JOURNEY REPORT (continued)

SACRED RECIPROCITY

(please read carefully)

Everything in the Cosmos operates in terms of energy. My focus, presence, attention, co-walking, consulting, and the time I put into a Journey Report requires energy. It is energy gladly given in service and in support of your path.

As a matter of reciprocity, in exchange for my time, energy, and focus, my sliding scale rate is $150-$180 (U.S. Dollars) per session.

I do not accept insurance.

There is no charge for the Journey Report. The Journey Report is a supplementary offering made in support of your path.

PAYMENT / LATE PAYMENT POLICY:

Payment for sessions is due on the day of the scheduled session unless other arrangements have been made. Journey Reports are sent within two days after payment is received.

I use PayPal and Venmo. I no longer use CashApp.

I do not accept checks.

If an alternative schedule for payment has been made and that payment isn't made on time, a $50 late payment fee will be added. If two weeks pass without honoring this arrangement, this will result in a termination of the working relationship.

Note to International Clients: If you hail from a country other than the U.S., you will need to do the conversion in your own currency to U.S. dollars. Historically, I have worked with Fellow Travelers from Australia, Canada, England, Japan, New Zealand, and the U.S.

CANCELLATION POLICY

If we schedule a session and something arises that will prevent you from keeping an appointment time, please endeavor to provide a day's advance notice that you need to cancel. If such notice is not received, you will be financially responsible for the time that was reserved just for you. If the date and time of the session arrives and you are more than 15-minutes late, we will need to re-schedule the session for another day.
