Open to Your Deepest Heart’s Desire

What is your deepest heart’s desire?

For many of us, this question is hard to answer. Perhaps we’ve never asked the question. Perhaps there’s a part of us that doesn’t dare to ask the question, for fear of crushing disappointment. Perhaps we were taught that it’s a terrible question to ask.

I think it is an essential question, one that can set us — all of us — on a path of meaning, fulfillment, and joy.

The Integral Becoming Experience is an opportunity to clarify your answer to that question, and to set out on a path to live from the place of your deepest heart’s desire. It’s also an opportunity to begin to shed the often hidden beliefs that have kept us from answering — or even asking — that question.

For many people, the notion of Integral Becoming is new. We’re so used to the fragmented Western model of self-care and healing that the notion of treating all aspects of being human — body, heart, mind, and spirit — as a unitary process is novel. We go to to the gym for our bodies, to a therapist for our emotional issues, to school for our minds, and to a spiritual teacher for higher guidance.

I get it. Specialization and fragmentation are the hallmarks of modernity.

Integral Becoming, in contrast, addresses the whole experience of being human, all in service of living the life you came here to lead, from here on out.

So, since this notion of addressing our growth as humans as a single process is, for many folks, new, I offer the Integral Becoming Experience in two stages.

The first stage, Exploring Becoming, is a eight-session taste of what this work can be like. Together, we survey the landscape of your life, looking for themes, patterns, and opportunities while we get to know each other. In the seventh and eighth sessions, we explore whether this modality is right for you and whether moving to the second stage is the next step in your process. This stage is priced to invite experiment — a total of $400 for all eight sessions.

The second stage, Living as Becoming, is an ongoing process of growth and evolution. We take whatever is arising in this moment, this stage of your life, and explore the evolutionary opportunities that the moment offers. We engage fully with Reality, here and now, and employ the full array of available tools — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual — are available to continuously open up to the unfolding of the life for which you’ve longed for so long. The fee for each session in this phase is $100. Lower income-based fees are always a possibility for this phase.

While cookie cutter trainings can lay out the course of study in advance, this customized program cannot do that. This is why not much more can be said about what will happen in these sessions — the process is unique from person to person, from session to session.

Unless you are in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, our sessions will be online.

If you are in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill-Hillsborough area, we can work in-person. It works a bit differently if we are going to work face-to-face. First, we can work in any place that has enough room and sonic privacy (we want the freedom to make some noise), whether that’s your home or some other place of your choosing, or any of a number of venues I know of near you. If we work in a facility that has a fee, that fee is additional. The venues I choose typically are no more than $50 for two hours, and sometimes less. Second, we work in two-hour chunks, so your drive to the venue and mine are fully rewarded with deep work. As a result, the Exploring Becoming stage becomes four 2-hour sessions instead of eight 1-hour sessions. Third, the Living as Becoming phase is $200 per 2-hour session.

Let’s do this!
