COACHING FOR HOLY BEINGS
Coaching for Holy Beings is a one-on-one coaching partnership and self-study (svadhyaya) for those navigating paths of SPIRITUAL inquiry. To try to make sense of what it is to exist, and why it is to exist in the ways that we do, is the essence of the human condition. When we do, we acknowledge we are in a relationship with an eternal life force that co-creates with us.
When I speak of holy, I do not MEAN IT aS A hierarchal measure of the value of PERSONHOOD, as it is often used. Instead, I invite you to consider this:
Holy, as in we all hold the capacity to attune to divine resonance.
Holy, as in we release the allure of spiritual dominance for spiritual inquiry.
Holy, as in we are interconnected material forms created from an expansive and infinite source.
Holy, as in our longing is really to dissolve the distance between Self and all beings (human and the more-than-human world).
Holy, as in our heartache occurs not as a consequence of existence, but as a revelation of our distance and urging towards liberation’s call.
All beings, in all of our forms, are whole and holy.
Through this coaching partnership, you are invited to embrace your wayfinding essence and hone greater intimacy with your heart’s voice. When wayfinding, our ancestors moved across oceans and terrains without navigational instruments and, instead, depended on the elements - the stars, the sun, the moon. In this partnership, we honor this innate wisdom we all hold by traversing the many paths of your interior worlds, which guide you towards eternal belonging. We allow ourselves to recognize the ways that socialization influences how we sense into this guidance.
As our animal kin remind us, we are homing beings with the ability to find our way back to the very places we have been before after being away for some time. So, together we endeavor to call in your eternal home - who you were, and whose you were, before systems of socialization mimicked the unique intonations of divine guidance given to you.
Through transformational coaching, a holistic process to tap into your own resourcefulness, we combine awareness of body, mind, soul, and spirit to illuminate your devotional and liberatory path. This offering is for those who wonder:
What was the voice of my heart before the suppression of socialization?
What is the language and texture of my heart?
What becomes possible when I loosen the tongue of my heart?
What is the sensation of feeling home within myself?
In what ways have I journeyed away and towards this home?
What is the path of return to my heart and eternal home?
Who do I become when I attune to my divine resonance?
This coaching partnership is a journey into your interior. Even with fear and trembling, we move together to reveal what might await underneath. It is my honor to journey with you as your witness. Let us begin.
*I give thanks to Joy Harjo, whose book and poem, Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings, inspired the title of this offering.

I offer these reflections with openness and ask, if you would like to adapt any of this for your own work, please let me know or lift up my name when you do. I also would love to hear from you if any of this resonates.
Care is a relational experience of the Spirit Way. Care is nameless, yet grateful to be named. Just call it. We get to know it by many names. By many sensations. Just allow yourself to know it. Care wants us as much as we want them.
All is not lost. We are all. We are not lost. We can find our way. We are finding our way back to each other and the power of bare-heartedness. We are not stuck where we are. We can, and will, figure this out. Figure this in.
Can we be willing to trust in the benevolence, abundance, and vision of the Spirit Way? The Spirit Way believes in us, hurts with us, wants for us, and needs us. We are the overflow, the bounty, and the beauty needed for whole living. We are capable of giving and receiving care unceasingly, lovingly, and deeply.
Wanting to be cared for is not wrong. Having needs is the most natural experience of being. We want and need. We are wanted and needed. A hand that is out is a holy act.
There is a quality of heartache that forever exists in the experience of care. A broken heart is a full heart. A broken heart is an illumined heart. A broken heart is a strong heart. Let us practice not shutting down in the face of broken hearts.
We can rest our heads on the lap of care. We are warmed by the fire of care as we are called home and whole.
We are created to care for each other. We are created to care with each other. The care we are called for goes beyond our understanding. It is OK to practice this. Over and over, let us return to this practice.
It can be scary to care fully and be cared for fully. If asking binds the throat, what can we begin to listen to?
Our relationship with all beings (human and more-than-human) will be transformed through the work of care. We can witness this in our lifetime. Let the work be done through us all to its completion.
There is enough for all of us. Care comes to us all in aligned ways. All needs, for all beings, can be met.
