Embody your work with devotion. Reclaim your energy, refine your focus, renew your practice.

In this two-hour gathering, we’ll engage a potent two-part oracular–creative framework I’ve been refining for twenty years, a method that shifts you out of stagnation and back into intimacy with your purpose through clarity, precision, and joy.

Sliding scale: $65 – $115

Who is this class for?

This class is designed for practitioners, broadly defined, working at any stage of their career, whose work engages care in any form. This includes educators and teachers, therapists, writers, artists, program directors, facilitators, coaches, diviners, nonprofit leaders, healers, publishers, bodyworkers, spiritual directors, counselors, mentors, and creators working across disciplines. It is equally suited for those working in community arts, social change, somatic practice, creative mentorship, spiritual care, or any role that calls us to be in service to others.

  • PART ONE

    We’ll begin by crafting your Purpose Inquiry Statement, a raw and luminous articulation of the pattern your work insists on making, even in the midst of disorder.

    This statement reveals the charged seam where your inner and outer worlds meet and clarifies the tension at the center of your vocation: what calls you toward aliveness, what intensities persist, what frameworks are needed, and why.

    Your Purpose Inquiry Statement sets up terms and boundaries for how you work with others so that your work can be sustainable. It helps focus and direct your attention, time, energy, and resources toward the most vital dimensions of your work.

    A few more added bonuses? A Purpose Inquiry Statement minimizes avoidable grief and busy–work, elevates the quality of your work and helps you develop a distinct practitioner signature.

  • PART TWO

    In Part Two of our gathering, we’ll ask: What does it mean to hold continuous communion with your own authority?

    Here, we turn to the work of repairing trust with ourselves and refusing the old posture of the beggar at the gates of her own temple. The vow becomes this: I will not abandon myself at the site of my desire and purpose.

    Guided by our oracular–creative framework, we’ll renew that vow and anchor ourselves in the living structure of our own sovereignty.
