Quests
What if your questions weren't a problem, but a path? Creative Questing sessions offer opportunities to explore your questions through engaging with music, art, movement, contemplative practices, and the spirit of play. I'll also invite you to venture out beyond enclosed rooms or digital screens and into the living classroom of the natural world - a world you are an integral part of. Although our focus will be on experiential learning, we’ll also employ verbal inquiry and discussion, so your meaning-making mind becomes a resource for putting it all into perspective.
Like any journey worth its weight in alchemical gold, on your Quest you can expect surprise detours, difficult stretches, unexpected allies, and wonder-filled discoveries—each with something to teach you.
"I think what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive. That’s what it’s all finally about."
- Joseph Campbell -
We’ll prepare for your Quest by carefully crafting your questions, because a good, juicy question acts as both compass and fuel.
Then we’ll identify the inner resources and the external supports you’ll want along for the journey. Please know that all of you is welcome on your Quest - even the parts that would rather stay home under the covers or mumble that they hate to travel. Those parts usually come in handy at some point; they often contain the qualities of hidden wisdom, resilience, and humor. You are welcome to bring any of your favorite navigational aids to supplement the ones here.
And it’s off we go!
"We are exploring together.
We are cultivating a garden together, backs to the sun.
The question is a hoe in our hands
and we are digging beneath the hard and crusty surface
to the rich humus of our lives."
- Parker J. Palmer -
I offer Creative Questing sessions for individuals and groups, online, in person, and hybrid. Also available:
A Single Quest lasting 1.5 hours to briefly explore your question from different angles. This session can offer new perspectives and a sense of which direction to move in. It can also give you a taste of what sessions with me are like.
The Explorers Special: a 6-Session Quest Series, in person or via Zoom. Grab your questions by the hand! Together we’ll chart your course and each week we’ll arrive at a new port of call and spend 1 - 1.5 hours there. One week, we’ll venture into the natural world; the next, we might explore your questions through music—and so on. Like all travel journeys, this experience will expand your horizons, deepen your sense of self and place, and offer opportunities to cultivate creativity and clarity around what truly matters to you.
