I'm very excited to announce a new 8-week group I will be hosting in Colorado in the coming season—Being Present: Embodying the Fullness of Life. This group is for anyone who would like a safe, trauma-informed container to connect with others interested in growth, learn and practice generative and healing ways of working with life challenges and suffering, and access more of your potential to be fully who you are.

The practice of being present, or what's called "Contact" in Gestalt Therapy, is perhaps the most fundamental ingredient in living a life of meaning, richness, and fulfillment. It also enables an organic healing and transformational force to flow in and through us, helping us progress in our personal and collective paths. If you'd like to hear more on that topic right now, I recorded a whole podcast episode on it called The Essence of Healing (link in bio).

The group Being Present will include guided meditations that work on different aspects of ourselves, experiential exercises to explore different qualities and capacities of being an individual and being in community, time for sharing and discussing what's alive for every group member, and working directly with what's most personally relevant as a group.

I hope you'll join us! Link in my bio for more info (or scan the QR code in the flyer), and message me if you'd like to join!

I'm not saying real problems aren't real problems. I am saying, when you're sliding on ice, turn into the skid. Your life and your feelings are the ice.

Timing and flow.

While I was going to get an item in my home, I was thinking to myself: when timing aligns with flow, magic happens.

As I bent down to pick up the item, I looked up to find myself at the exact position from where I could see the Crescent Moon shining brightly through a small window in the blackest night sky.

I took this photo, immediately after which a cloud covered the moon, and remained there for some time. Had I come here to get the item a moment later, I would not have seen the moon.

When timing aligns with flow, and when we're open to perceive and receive and allow it, magic happens.

I've released a few new podcast episodes, short poetic invitations into simple Being (episode 6) and your immediate body (episode 7). Check 'em out, they're fun and free ways for me to share my authenticity, with the prayer they help connect you with yours :)

Psychedelic means "Spirit Revealing." I wrote this poem yesterday after my final session of a psychedelic training I completed with Innate Path, working with psycholytic (low-dose) ketamine and cannabis to assist the body's natural process of healing, growing, and partnering with Life. I've understood conceptually and somewhat experientially why psychedelic medicines have become so popular at this time, but this training helped me personally experience why and how helpful these medicines can be---if used with respect, acknowledgment of their sacred power, and while skillfully and intentionally following and supporting the body's inherent desire and movement to release stuck trauma and pain to allow More Life to flow through. This can happen without medicine, of course; medicines can just help lower our conscious and unconscious defenses to let it happen with less inhibition.

There isn't one final, complete, fully "healed" state. Life is an eternal process. All we can do is the next right thing. With or without medicine, it's possible to feel the fundamental okayness of Life, the Buddha Nature or Basic Goodness of it all, the Sat-Chit-Ananda ("Truth-Consciousness-Bliss") of ultimate reality, in every moment. And it's possible to notice and feel how we, in our bodies and with our histories, resist this ground of Being, in just about every single moment. When we soften to and allow the natural blessings of Life to reach us, oh, what glory. The flow of everloving light. And it always looks and feels slightly different, because every moment, every circumstance, every arising need and desire, requires something new of Life, and Life will not let us down, even in death.

This Life is not separate from you. It is you.

I'm excited to start offering psychedelic medicine-assisted sessions sometime later this year. If you'd like to know when that's happening, comment a psychedelic emoji (you can't do it wrong) and I'll let you know.

In gratitude, humility, and openness to the blessings,
Dan

I started a podcast! It's a simple project, quick hit inspiration on a path of healing, growth, and be(come)ing more fully human and authentic. Kind of like voice messages direct to your phone when you subscribe. Link in bio!

I celebrated my birthday this week with a ritual. I'll share some elements of that ritual here in case it helps you connect with your Self and the supports available in the wider world.

First, I came to a creek spot I've been walking, playing at, and living by for several years. I offered some plants from our garden to the creek, thanking the creek for witnessing me over the years and living with me. I told it I was here on my birthday. I lit this magical mullein candle made by my wife and sat in meditation, breathing, and just being, not doing, for several minutes. (In a life of constant doing, I so very much love this time.)

I called on my spiritual allies and guides, my wise and well ancestors, and the beings of the land that have held and nurtured my life. In their presence, I spoke aloud my prayers and intentions for my next year.

I then wrote down the limiting fears and beliefs I have used to hold myself back, and offered them to the fire to be burned and transformed, as I spoke aloud the new beliefs and perspectives I am growing into, this year and beyond.

Then, I wrote this poem:
..

The fires of transformation
meet suffering and hardship,
see Spirit,
feel Love.

The waters of Life
sing on and on;
we do this,
on and on.

In blessings
in strength,
in connection and in relationship
we,
Earth Angels,
slowly,
painfully,
joyfully
become
our Selves.
..

I believe this is what we're doing here, no matter the circumstances, no matter the leaders, the freedoms, the violence, the climate, the conditions, the lifespan... I believe we are here to continually become and create our Selves, in relation with all that is, with the most love possible. More love to you. More life to you. More love and life to us all.

Co-differentiation is one of my favorite aspects about therapy and growing together with others. Life's not about becoming the same or agreeing all the time, it's about being true to yourself, and letting others be true to their self. Infinite freedom in the multiplicity of life, in the diversity of ecosystems, all spinning and working together. May we all honor our differences, our uniquenesses, and share this wide world in celebration of our differences.

Big thanks to Einav and Healing Conversations Podcast for having me on as a guest. We had a lovely conversation about authenticity and belonging, healing PTSD, and a bunch of simple tools you can use to regain equilibrium when feeling triggered or overwhelmed. Links in my bio for the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and a YouTube video! Check it out and let's keep the conversation going---I'd love to hear what it sparks in you.

I had a lot of fun writing a description of my name and logo: The Integrated Self. These photos contain some excerpts, and the full description is on my website (link in bio) on a new "About: The Integrated Self" page. What does this notion bring up for you?

I'm SO excited to share my brand new, self-paced audio course, Feel Good: Find Safety, Peace, and Joy in Your Body.

Feel Good teaches one of the foundational tools for healing and enjoying life more fully. This is the basis of a lot of the healing work I help folks (and myself) with, presented in a completely safe and accessible way for you to integrate on your own healing, growing, and living journey.

You'll have lifetime access to listen to the course at any time (i.e. while commuting, walking, doing dishes, resting, etc.). Providing understanding, guided experiences, and simple and practical tools you can use immediately, the course contains 18 tracks exploring trauma and its effects, emotional regulation, and embodiment. Feel Good also contains two supplemental readings and three 8-12 minute guided resourcing meditations you can listen to to help calm your nervous system, ground, and feel more present and connected anytime you like.

I created this course to share in depth what's often the first step of any healing work I do with clients, so you too can take your emotional well-being into your own hands with skills and practices you can personalize for your needs.

Feel Good is not about bypassing hardships or suffering—it's meant to help you establish a felt-sense of safety in your body to gather your strength, equilibrium, and resilience for navigating the challenges of life. Because life is challenging, and it doesn't always feel good. But if you consciously choose to do things that help you feel good, even if only for a moment, the challenges can actually become less challenging, and you can move through them with more ease and momentum.

For a limited time, you can sign up for my newsletter (link in bio) to receive 25% off the course.

May it bring more goodness into your life and all of your relationships.
