How do we create safer containers for people to express their experiences, no matter how strange or weird they might be? There is still a lot of stigma in the transpersonal experience.

When working with relationships, we often try to impose strategies and techniques. These often only work for a short period of time because they are imposed over the actual process happening beneath.
The process is stronger than our everyday minds. It is stronger than a communication tool. It is the real thing happening between two people. When we can become of aware of and work with that, we are in alignment with the true nature of the individuals involved and the spiritual force of the relationship itself.

"Process work means following the way of nature. Process is that which is already happening. Not what should be done...
If we could train ourselves to be aware of processes, we could work with natural relationship forces and avoid the tendency to short circuit life by applying technical strategies or trying programs as short-term solutions...
Process work focuses upon the the intended and unintended processes, upon what is happening and trying to happen, not upon who should be present, what should be happening, or what roles should be filled."

Kicking off a psychedelic integration program on June 22nd.

Many people today are exploring psychedelics or at-home ketamine therapy as part of their healing and personal growth. These experiences can open powerful insights, emotions, and questions—but without support, it can be difficult to understand how they fit into everyday life.

This 6-week integration group offers a thoughtful space to reflect on these experiences alongside others navigating similar processes and dive into ongoing inner work practices like breathwork.

Integrating my NDE has been one of the most challenging experiences and has taken decades - and I am still learning from that experience. It's the one experience I keep coming back to to learn from.

Do you always need a "big" cathartic experience in breathwork or psychedelic sessions? While they can be transformative, sometimes it's the simple sessions that can be deeply healing and transformative. Rest is always medicine.

Breathwork isn’t just about pushing toward catharsis or intensity.

Over the years, I’ve started seeing breath as a flexible tool.

The goal isn’t always to push harder or go deeper.
It’s learning how to work with where the nervous system is actually at.

Had a fun chat with on her recent podcast! Check out the full episode.

When most people think of “shadow work,” they tend to focus on the darker stuff - trauma, shame, rage, grief, and all the hidden or repressed parts of the self. But shadow work isn’t just about confronting the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden because they’re too painful or unacceptable. It’s also about reclaiming the parts of ourselves that are too beautiful, too radiant, or too powerful for us to fully accept and share with the world.

This is the territory of the golden shadow.

The term “golden shadow” comes out of Neo-Jungian psychology, and I was first introduced to it in depth through my work with Dr. Ido Cohen. We’ve been exploring these themes since 2019, and I’ve noticed again and again how relevant the golden shadow is and how it constantly shows up in the work, from psychotherapy, breathwork, psychedelic experiences, and in the integration process.

“The golden shadow is the hidden, unclaimed brilliance of positive qualities within us, our light, our gifts, our potential, that we have difficulty feeling or embracing. We unconsciously project it onto others because we feel unworthy, afraid, or unprepared to embody them.”

What Is the Golden Shadow?

The golden shadow includes the traits we fear because they challenge our existing self-image: joy, confidence, creativity, sensuality, power, visibility. While we usually associate the shadow with the parts of ourselves that we reject because they’re “bad,” the golden shadow shows us the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled because they shine too brightly.

Sometimes, those golden parts had to be hidden for survival. If we grew up in homes where joy wasn’t safe, or where creativity or boldness was met with ridicule or punishment, it makes sense that these qualities would be repressed. And yet, they’re still there, waiting to be reclaimed and expressed.

“Sometimes it's easier to hang out in the darkness than to embrace the light.”
