My training
The majority of my training comes from my training at the Process Work Institute (PWI) in Portland, Oregon, where I trained from 2015-2019. Process Work combines Taoist philosophy, Jungian psychology, and somatic awareness in an attempt to follow one’s unfolding process most fully. This can include working with dreams, working with body symptoms, exploring through movement & sounding, working on relational difficulties, and navigating relationship to world issues and phenomena. For a more thorough explanation of Process Work, I recommend checking out Lane Arye’s explanation on his website.
Prior to my training at PWI, I trained both formally and informally in the facilitation of transformative processes through a mix of community organizing work, emotional vulnerability training spaces, and mediation training and practice environments.
Following my training at PWI, I have explored various methods for working with relationships, with most of my current inspiration coming from Ellyn Bader at The Couples Institute. I’ve completed Level 1 training in their Developmental Model and continue to take part in their advanced training community, from which I derive most of my practice and approach in my current work.
