This group is for anyone going through a moment/phase where they feel that life has pulled them underwater. Meeting weekly for a month, this group invites us to be together as we move through our underwater caves, our feelings, and encounter surprising wisdom gems.
The phases when we're pulled into dark waters by life can become our greatest teachers, offering us the precise medicine we need. Since western cultures and capitalism teaches us to avoid and transcend discomfort, often we do not know how to stay curious or become present in these uncomfortable depths, and instead we may only gaze up, focusing on escaping as soon as possible. We may miss the lessons and transformation gems these dark times provide. However, these dark waters can be approached as sacred, rich and significant layers of our spiritual journey.

"Most religions omit or obscure the underworld half of the spiritual journey… On this half of the spiritual journey, we don’t rise toward heaven but fall toward the center our longing. Although equally sacred and perhaps even more ancient than the journey of ascent, this second spiritual realm may be unfamiliar to people of Western cultures.”
— Bill Plotkin
Because such phases can be uncomfortable, painful, or scary, engaging with community also experiencing underwater soul-searching can feel supportive, as can being facilitated by a spiritual counselor. In this Underwater Soul-Searching Group, we listen to your body, your intuitions, and your longings, and we dialogue with the universe. What meaning and medicine are you being offered? What does your soul say? Together we foster your staying power.
This group container is for those going through difficult, uncomfortable, and/or unclear times. Perhaps you are grieving, or deeply uncomfortably physically, or maybe you're emotionally thrown off by a big life event. This weekly group is meant for people interested in building their staying power and opening to the lessons of their life moment -- how might this phase be leading you to fall toward the center of your soul's longing?
This container offers community, self-reflection activities, breathwork, and spiritual guidance, meeting each group member in their moment. We meet for one hour every week for one month, at a time to be determined by who RSVP's when. Underwater Soul-Searching Groups are small, with 4-8 participants.
