What is Primal Guidework?
At its core, Primal Guidework is the idea that we find ways to treat ourselves that add to the well-being of us and the world around us. We begin to recognize how different parts of our experience help us create more of what we want in our lives. We notice and take seriously what is happening in our body and begin to support ourselves in activities that help the body feel better. We learn what science has to offer about how we can use our senses to connect and regulate our experience in the body and emotions. We see that we can begin to work with our thoughts consciously to find more freedom and choice in our lives. We begin to experience our environments like the home in which our bodies and minds developed and continue to develop. We notice those places in our lives that can be confusing or mysterious and begin to trust that we can use faith and the rituals of life to help us through an uncertain world. We feel what it’s like to be with our families and friends and take the lessons these communities give us.
Primal Guidework supports the development of our personal power and agency to clearly make decisions that best support us in all our pursuits. It starts with a place to be in a relationship with one another. We have a deep need to be seen and heard by others. Seeing others accept and have compassion for us moves us to accept more of ourselves and others. The relationship also provides a stable place for us to begin to experience life more fully. Primal Guidework uses a variety of ways to reach expanded states of consciousness for reaching our potential, healing and personal exploration. Primal Guidework brings several practices together to support growth, including, Hakomi Method, directed mindfulness, guided meditation, guided visualization, imagination, sound and music, nature, symbolism, parts work, ritual, ceremony and celebration. Primal Guidework combines in nature, personal relationship and community to hold our realizations, new experiences and explorations so that they may have a lasting impact on our lives.
​
Primal Guidework follows our collective and personal nature to discover what leads us to our best selves. We notice what helps us feel connected to the world around us and chose more of that. We see what more we want in our lives and begin to take action towards that vision. We open our imagination and create new ways to make our expressions and creations real. Primal Guidework allows us to see what is working in our lives and bring more attention to that growth. It allows our awareness us to track what is no longer serving us and helps us choose something new. Primal Guidework works with our innately given and socially learned skills and attributes to create more healing, growth and wisdom in our lives and finds ways to offer more of ourselves into our world. I invite you to experience the transformative power of Primal Guidework and become present and available for all that life has to offer!
