If you're looking for the events page, it's gone for now--Covid was a "show stopper." And, given my evolution toward being a healer by simply existing and seeking stranger encounters and kind gestures, my "events" are now spontaneous jam sessions in parks, sharing biodynamic preps with someone who wants to add them to a garden, and using poetry as song lyrics or as a theme for a watercolor sketch. If you're in the Portland area, we may have one of these chance encounters--that would be fun.
Do You Charge For Conversations?Over the past few years, I have shifted from charging a set amount to be paid in exchange for these conversations, to accepting donations. The amount completely depends on a person's generosity and ability to offer a donation. I've been asked, may I give you money? Yes, thank you, I gratefully accept money, though mostly my time is spent with the joy of connecting with others and efforts toward increasing goodness of living here on our earth.

How do I coach?
Well, lots of ways. I listen. I offer suggestions when asked, especially if there is potential for support, encouragement, taking risks that beg to be taken, and how to nourish one's human condition. That last option is often the greatest task, for me, anyway. Sometimes I offer information from my past lives as a psychologist and physician--heck, all those degrees, take advantage of them. A particular favorite of mine is to explore biography. Sometimes a brief glimpse into the past is all it takes to crack open a wellspring of stories and guideposts. Any goal is worthwhile. Sometimes a small gift from a stranger can change the world. A simple gesture of kindness can be a mighty goal--can open the portal to an entirely new realm. I joked for years, "I would never tell a patient what to do" and had always struggled with the label of "patient." Now, as a coach/conversa-tionalist, I love not being "in charge." Instead, it's like witnessing how a garden grows; it's life led by the heart for as long as we converse. Yes, I can interpret medical information with you; I do not prescribe, nor give medical advice--it's up to you what to do with information received--not just from me, from anyone! |
