Spiritual Life Coaching Process

Spiritual Life Coaching Process

My coaching practice is based on a Rites of Passage approach that I learned through attending the Earth Based Institute.* Primarily, this works best out in Nature; however, for remote clients I can offer some of the techniques that I learned in the program. The general process regardless of whether we are outside is that we define your initial goals and objectives (this could include energy healing), we work together to provide you skills to achieve them (in nature if possible), and we create a plan so that everything you learned doesn't fade away after the experience.

More formally, we initiate the journey in a process called Severance by discussing your current state of being and outcomes you would like to achieve during our time together (initial contract length defined as part of the discovery process). We discuss the various tools and healing modalities that can be included in your program. We collaborate to set your intentions and make your commitments knowing that as we go deeper into the process this could change as you discover more about yourself. The Severance process can take a few sessions so that we have clear intentions and goals before moving to the next phase.

Once the goals and intentions are clear and you understand what we will be working on together, we move to the next phase, which is called Threshold. This is where we consciously explore and experiment with activities, preferably in nature, to achieve the desired outcomes. I guide you using various coaching techniques to explore deeper meaning and needs while keeping your stated goals in mind. It is a collaborative process of creation and ultimately we celebrate through ceremony (create this together) your accomplishments.

The final stage is Incorporation which is how you will use what is being learned in your everyday life. We will design a plan on how best to integrate the information from our sessions and define accountability for future actions. This is an integral step and will be included within the coaching contract. Oftentimes, coaching programs fail you by not incorporating follow-through after the active coaching process is complete. The general overall process is outlined below.

Severance

Understand the issues and current stories being told
Name the bigger goal/vision/desire
Work together to define the deeper need/underlying issues that might be holding client back (letting go of old stories)
Name the intended outcome for the current session being planned (we can layer these depending on what has been established within the contract)
Create our plan and mix of coaching/energy healing overall and what we will accomplish for the Threshold phase

Threshold

Action, movement and experimentation to move towards accomplishing goals or refine them as new information is gained
Celebrate through Ceremony accomplishments and achievements
Embody what was learned and create plan for Incorporation phase

Incorporation

Create rituals (practices undertaken on a regular basis) to strengthen what was learned/achieved in Threshold
Tie goals and accomplishments to how it is valued in community
Establish scheduled check ins for accountability and to celebrate milestone achievements
