Four Winds Therapy

03/26/2026

Heading into a 10-day retreat rooted in silence, nature, meditation, song, and plant healing. Spiritual and contemplative practice have shaped me throughout my life, and this work goes way beyond symbols, images, or standing near what is sacred. It asks for devotion, integrity, and the willingness to be truly transformed by what one claims to honor. This is the work that guides everything I do through Four Winds Therapy. I’m disconnecting from modern technologies and tuning into ancient ones. See y’all on the other side!

The youth I know are feeling hopeless toward a future dominated by AI. They are gratefully able to explain things to me in a way that makes sense. By 2027 close to 50% of white collar entry level jobs will be lost to AI. Young people are worried that the future is doomed. So why bother trying for a career or really anything?

I am able to explain to them that maybe humanity is frequently not about what we know, but what we feel - our humanity may require us to tap into a more intuitive language of the heart and the mind. It’s like the difference between the brain and the mind. I understand the expansion of awareness possible within the mind, and it’s nothing about machine intelligence - it’s about human consciousness that can only be human. Awareness is human. Feelings are human. This intuitive human knowing of feeling and awareness surpasses words. And damnit, it matters.

I also think it may have something to do with the language of the earth itself but I’m not quite fluent in earthling.
We all must do what we can to honor what makes us uniquely human. Do that which surpasses the language of the brain and taps into the mind and the heart.
How we can align our minds and our hearts to the earth may come to matter more in the future.

Maybe some of what we as humans are able to do in attuning to other humans may come to matter more.

Anyway, we have openings for new clients.

March arrives like water clearing.

Not because anything was solved.
Not because the story made sense.
But because something beneath the surface
stopped fighting itself.

We are shaped by the gaze of others long before we know we are.
Their projections settle into us.
Their judgments become sediment.
Over time, we call that accumulation “me.”

And then we defend it.
Or we collapse inside it.

When something painful happens,
the psyche rushes to author a narrative.
It prefers meaning to mystery.
It would rather be wrong than uncertain.

But what if the story you are telling
is simply the mind’s attempt to create coherence
around something that is still moving?

Water does not argue with its own turbidity.
It does not shame itself for being unclear.
It settles.
And in settling, clarity reveals itself.

To loosen the separate self
is not to disappear —
it is to soften the rigid edges of identity.

Not “I am this.”
Not “I am that.”
But simply —
this is what is here.

When the mud settles,
we see that awareness was never damaged.
Only obscured.

Therapy, at its depth,
is not about fixing the self.
It is about witnessing the sediment
without becoming it.

Allowing projections to fall away.
Allowing old narratives to loosen.
Allowing what is essential
to surface on its own.

If you are in a season of clouded water,
there is nothing wrong with you.

Clarity is not forced.
It is remembered.

I will sit with you until the water clears.
