Essence

This is the Vibration which is at your core: your Truth, your values, what is in your heart, your purpose, your life’s task work, why you are on this planet.

This is true for both you, and for any entity, such as a business, movement, or belief system.

Your connection to Source, to Spirit, and how you keep this connection finely tuned and clear is what keeps this core vibration resonating at a high frequency. This Essence energy transmits this vibration through your life, fueling, informing, and directing all that you do.

How we connect with Essence —

Through combining ancient indigenous wisdoms and the practices of conscious leadership, I will guide you and your team in connecting with each of your Essences, and clearly articulating who you are, your joys, your passions, your Truth. We do this in a way that is tangible and actionable and applicable to your business and practices. 

In this process we will discover your —

• Core Values — What guiding truths are at your core?

• Vision Statement — What are your big dreams and goals for yourself & for the world?

• Mission Statement — What is the difference you are making in the world?

• Statement of Purpose — How do you do this? How do you serve?

These deliverables are your principles, your driving force, your heart beat. By anchoring these values, you will have a heart centered compass for navigating all that is to come.

 As without, so within.

This audio offers you a chance to take a guided awoken dreaming drum journey, allowing you to access new perceptions and insights.

The simplest way to think of journeying is “intentional daydreaming”. It is a trance state induced by a sustained, monotonous, fairly rapid rhythm. If you allow yourself to listen to any sustained rhythm long enough, even a washing machine or clothes dryer, it will induce some kind of trance. When we hear a steady rhythm at a certain monotonous pace our brain waves begin to match the wave pattern, slowing from faster Beta waves to Alpha waves, and as we breathe more slowly and deeply, helping us to relax and move into the Theta wave-state, that twilight place between waking and sleeping.

The goal of the trance state is for you to let go of your self and your analytical mind . When we stay in that “in-between” layer for a while, because in that place, we connect with the subconscious, our guides and spirit helpers, our higher self, Source, Spirit, and the quantum field. Journeying brings us to the “Doorway to Spirit.” When we enter this state carrying an intention – a prayer – that doorway may very well swing open and bring us teaching or healing. 

Essentially journeying is very good way to get information.

If at first you find yourself in resistance to this process, the idea of this process, or to the experience itself, try to put down your expectations and judgments, and be curious about the process. Like many things, journeying is a practice, which comes easily to some, but not all. If you are struggling at all, be patient, invite in the energy of Trust, and allow yourself to experience something new.

Why I can help you with this —

I have a background spanning over 25 years in the Natural Foods Industry, including 7 years developing and directing the Healthy Eating Program for Whole Foods Market, as the “Healthy Eating Guru”, Global Healthy Eating Coordinator, and spokesperson for the company. In this time, I created and oversaw large scale, successful, mission drive marketing campaign for the company, producing measurable results including high increases in sales of specific items, but more importantly building trust and value in our customer relationships. Other aspects of this work included employee education and wellness campaigns, and CPG product development.

From here, I worked in the emerging cannabis industry, as an advisor, investor, and adovacate, helping to rebrand marijuana and reeducate investors, politicians, and the public on the potentials for this plant. I sat on the Selection Committee for Arcview, a cannabis investing group, and have evaluated hundreds of companies on their capital readiness. I continue to be an advisor for SXSW for their cannabis, psychedelics, culture, and future tracks, helping rewrite the narratives that shape us and inspired us as we collectively imagine our future.

I have been fortunate to have many wonderful teachers and mentors in this work, and I draw largely from the tenants of Conscious Capitalism that I was steeped in during my work with Whole Foods. I have also been honored to have learned from ingenious elders and their teachings.and from these I draw much guidance. I am graduate of the Power Path School of Shamanism Shamanic Studies advanced practitioner training. I continue my studies in Mexico with the Wixarika (Huichol people) and in Peru with the Shipibo, and am always seeking to learn from new forms of thought leadership. I am on the board for the Center for Shamanic Education and Exchange, which works with indigenous communities to perpetuate their wisdom to their future generations.

I take my unique experience, skill set, and perspective and weave together shamanic practices with sound business metrics to produce tangible results that are aligned with your own path, of passion, purpose and truth.
