Inner Alchemy

Some questions don’t go away.
Who am I, beneath everything I’ve become?
What is my life actually asking of me?

They surface in the middle of a full life. On a walk. At three in the morning. After a loss, or a success that didn’t feel the way you expected.

Inner Alchemy offers one-to-one spiritual mentorship for those drawn to follow these questions.

We don’t have to leave our humanity behind to go deeper. What the body holds, and what we’ve never quite understood, can become the doorway. Into ourselves, and into the sacred.

Working together

I begin with the person, not the method.

We might explore a question that has stayed with you, a pattern that keeps returning, or an experience you haven’t yet found words for. Sometimes the work brings us into what is difficult.

Sometimes into joy, or an unexpected opening.

I listen closely. I tell you what I see. Sometimes I challenge you.

Contemplative Mentor

I’ve been accompanying people through inner change for over twenty years, drawing on both Eastern and Western traditions. What I trust most is that what you’re looking for is already here. Sometimes it’s obscured, or tangled up with everything else.

I offer individual sessions online, internationally, from Toronto. You’re welcome to begin with a free 30-minute conversation.
