Deep Eco Soul Wisdom: Deeper Purpose / New Name

My Purpose:

My Soul Purpose is two-fold:

1. to listen deeply to my own inner ecosystem and the ecosystem around me, to understand the next right step to care for my Self and parts and to care for my family, community and Grandmother earth in a restorative and regenerative way.
2. to support and guide you to listen deeply to your own inner ecosystem (Self and parts) and the ecosystem of your family / community / earth to understand the next right step for you in your journey to care for your Self and parts and your family / community / earth in a restorative and regenerative way.

In a vision on the SoulCraft Intensive April 2023 I understood that I needed to learn as many earth-based practices for healing, guidance and wisdom as possible to support people, including myself, to listen deeply within and without for individual and collective healing and find strength, power, voice and belonging.

My Soul purpose is to be eclectic and varied like a Lyrebird, gathering many songs from the human and more than human world and share what I am learning about bridging:

• the survival and the sacred dance of life
• the human and more than human world
• the Western field of neuroscience with the ancient and current wisdom of other cultures and philosophies.

I want to honour and acknowledge all the teachers of the earth-based practices from First Nations people, shamanic healers, buddhist philosophy, journey of soul practitioners at Animus Valley and deep ecology that have guided my path and continue to guide my path. I also want to honour all the elements, and more than human beings who guide me, such as lyrebird, willy wagtail, wrens, sea eagle, Grandmother trees and Kunanyi, Grandmother Mountain.

As I enter this next chapter of my life I feel called to support myself and others to explore and understand:

• the inner and outer landscape on this journey of being human here on Earth,
• how our human nature and the nature on earth are interconnected,
• how we can move from the old survival dance of life to the sacred dance of life
• how we can learn from and heal in nature to come home to our Wise Self (essence, soul, spirit) with the qualities of curiousity, compassion, courage, creativity, connection, calm, clarity and confidence.
• How we can cultivate these ‘C’ qualities above within our Wise Self to heal ourselves, heal others and heal Earth.

I use the understanding of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model (read more here) and Deep Ecology (read more here) to support you to work with your parts and increase your ability to access your Self-energy of curiousity, compassion, connection, courage, calm, clarity, confidence and creativity while also listening deeply to the wisdom, healing and guidance of Earth. In that way we can each begin to re-harmonise the inner and outer system to heal and change the world one step at a time.

_{The Four Basic Goals of IFS}

_{1. Liberate parts from the roles they’ve been forced into, so they can be who they’re designed to be.}

_{2. Restore trust in the Self and Self-Leadership.}

_{3. Reharmonize the inner system.}

_{4. Become more self-led in your interactions with the world.}

_{No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz}

_{Care flows naturally if the self is widened and deepened so that protection of free nature is felt and conceived of as protection of our very selves. we must find and develop therapies which heal our relations with the widest community, that of all living beings.” Arne Naess, Founder of Deep Ecology}

Read more about the type of Therapy / Counselling / Coaching I provide here:

The ecosoulcentric therapy I provide is earth-based, trauma-informed, attachment-based, includes ancestral lineage healing, encourages you to journey to your Centre/Soul/True Self and is tailored to your unique needs every session. No two therapy sessions are alike!

I am deeply influenced by mindfulness, buddhist philosophy, Inter-being/interconnectedness of all beings, Deep Ecology, self-compassion, neuroscience, mind-body connection and earth-based cultures from around the world. I am on a healing journey myself and I value learning, being curious, creative, holding flexible perspectives, being courageous, flow, presence, and joyful, in my own life and in sessions with clients.

I am deeply interested in ‘walking the soul path with practical feet,’ this journey of the survival dance and sacred dance, and in deepening the conversation between the human and more-than-human world. I am curious about how we might honour the healthy feminine with the healthy masculine within all of us and in our society, and to explore the ecosystems within us as individuals and within our society as a collective
