These knives were crafted by some former students of mine. Teens I have had the privilege of mentoring for many years. Our youth hold so much power and possibility. The process of making a knife, is a mirror for their own inner process of finding their power and becoming themself. Each so unique and powerful. I’m so proud of each of them!

I’m offering a small group workshop starting February 5th focused on helping people reconnect with their purpose. Not as a big abstract idea, but as something lived and embodied. A way of finding your footing, your power, and your place of contribution in a time when so many feel overwhelmed or shut down.

Some winter tracking from a few weeks ago. What do you think trackers? A wild cat along the creek. What a specter! We’ve had a cougar attack our goats in the fall so this may be her. But I know there can be some overlap with bobcat trotting. But tracks felt big for bobcat and maybe trail was not in a super trotty kind of area. Wish I had my tape measure for stride and trail width. Some cool behavior like jumping over the creek rather than getting her paws wet and walking over one of the kid’s sled trails.

The second sight is not the ability to read the future, it’s the skill of reading the story hidden in plain sight. There are clues and symbols that guide us towards our path. What clues have you followed that have led you on the adventure of your life?

Something I do in the beginning of the year, is to sit out in the dark darkness with a candle or a fire. There’s something about being in the darkness. It’s vulnerable and yet also I feel held. My prayers have led me far away. Thousands of miles from what was once home.

It’s trusting those prayers, and the courage to say, Yes. I believe prayers are like threads in the darkness. They reach out beyond even our imagination. On this night, my prayers were for thanksgiving for prayers answered, a safe landing, for family and future and to step even deeper into my calling. I believe in the night. 🕯️

There are little clues leading you away from well trodden trail of conventional life. They are leading you on a magical quest towards your purpose and secretly hoping to initiate you into your destiny.

The world is calling for your dreams right now. So many of us hold a dream of what we want to create in the world but our fears and doubts hold us back from bringing them forward. Imagine if we all decided to bring them into the world? And how that could change our trajectory as humans. What dream do you have that is worth risking failure for, worth taking the uncertain trail, worth the risk because it is just the elixir the world needs right now.

The world is constantly leaving clues for us. Little sign post that distract us from our planned course and send us on the quest of our life. The gift of second sight is not reading the future, it’s knowing how to follow the clues✨. If you want to explore following these clues deeper, check out the link in my bio about the finding purpose: quest for inner fire workshop.

Justin Pegnataro, L.P.C.C

Justin is dedicated to helping people live vibrant healthy lives filled with connection and purpose. His own journey began over two decades ago when he moved into the forests of Connecticut for four months and lived with just a sleeping bag, knife and sack of rice. Since then, Justin immersed himself in the natural world, and through it, he embarked on a hero’s journey of personal growth and transformation. In 2007, Justin founded Two Coyotes Wilderness School for children and families that connected people to the wildness of nature and the wilderness of their own internal landscapes. Over that time, Justin mentored hundreds of children and adults in discovering who they are, claiming their personal power and in finding a deep sense of belonging within their own communities and the more-than-human world.

The core of Justin’s work focuses on creating healthy lifestyle and relationships while exploring the landscape of inner healing and transformation. Justin incorporates many different therapeutic techniques into his work. His therapeutic style is based around helping others to become the author of their lives and is influenced by Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavioral Therapy and Internal Family Systems approaches. Nature is also a vital component to Justin's approach. Nature offers both challenge and sanctuary and is a rich landscape filled with metaphor and meaning that empowers the therapeutic process. Lastly, by creating an environment of trust and unconditional acceptance, Justin creates a non-judgmental space that provides a safe foundation for you to explore your inner depths within.

Justin is a licensed Public Counselor Candidate with a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from UMASS, Boston.
