The Way Within
Is a unique approach to grief, loss and facing the difficult paths. Often under feelings of dis-ease, under the many and variable manifestations of depression, anxiety and anger… Grief is hiding. Especially aspects of grief not recognized or acknowledged. ‘Closure’ is an illusion… The only way is moving-though and into integration. I facilitate Your Way… You create it.
The Way Within includes a journey through The Three PathWays and The Seven Spirals…
The Three PathWays of Grief
This takes the broad range of how we experience grief and distills them into Three. Today one of the PathWays may be more present with you. Your current struggle is your entry point, yet none of the three stands alone, each interacts with and informs the others. The Three PathWays are:
Dancing With Shadows:
Shadows are the wounds of a lifetime. Something that was done to you.
We all have them, some small, some quite large. With time wounds can seem 'healed' yet the shadows of their presence remain.
This is a grief that other loss or difficulty tends to touch. Fresh grief stirs up the old wounds. Understanding our own unique shadow dance can help transform unconscious reaction into conscious response.
Passionate Sadness:
The death of someone or the loss of something dearly precious to you. It is something that happens to you.
It can be sudden and change your life in devastating ways. Or it can be the long, slow loss or change that chips away at your sense of resiliency.
Passionate Sadness can leave you feeling like a stranger in a strange land, facing the chaos of a path with a destination that is unknown.
The Haunted House:
The haunted house contains all of the dreams, visions and hope for your life, that did not happen. The paths not finished or never walked.
Sometimes this grief is quieter and less obvious. Yet it can remain as a place where our hesitation, inertia and fear live. A place we stumble.
Facing what resides there with recognition and understanding can transform the haunted house into a place of release, integration and inspiration.

The Seven Spirals
Are the expressions of grief, loss and walking through the difficult places. The Spirals grew out of the stories of thousands of people and I distilled them into seven. Inherent in each is a validation of experience and they also contain the potential to be remarkable tools for moving through. You will learn about the Seven Spirals in The Way Within.
