depth-centered soul work for a life transformed

welcome!

My name is Rensho.  I am a spiritual care professional, educator, and mindfulness guide devoted to the care of Soul. 
For more than two decades, I have accompanied others through transformation and spiritual growth.

I offer Archetypal Coaching...
a form of soul-centered inner work grounded in depth psychology, contemplative practice,
and the language of symbol, image, and myth.


Archetypal Coaching does not approach you or your life as a problem to solve or a set of symptoms to manage.
Archetypal Coaching approaches your life experiences, joys, and challenges, as
meaningful 
expressions of the Soul responding to life, change, and the unfolding of your unique sacred path.
​

Archetypal Coaching can help you...
explore the archetypal patterns shaping your life,
re-imagine the stories and images that move through you,
navigate the deeper currents beneath thought and being.

archetypal coaching is

Soul-centered, not symptom-focused,
Relational, not hierarchical,
Meaning-oriented, not outcome-driven,
Grounded in presence, not performance.

What is an archetypal coach?

An Archetypal Coach is a NAVIGATOR and a GUIDE for the Soul...

I think of an Archetypal Coach as kind of like a pathfinder, a wilderness guide…but for Soul and Spirit!

As we journey through life, we may sometimes struggle to overcome obstacles, we may get lost and go around in circles making the same mistakes over and over, we may get hurt, we may encounter things (people, places, thoughts, behaviors) we don't recognize or understand, we may lose our way altogether and need someone to help us get back on track. 

A wilderness guide relies on their expert training and own lived experience to guide others in navigating their way through new and unfamiliar territory.  A seasoned guide has an intimate understanding of the terrain, the trail, the streams, the hills, the valleys, the rocks, the trees, the plants, the fungi, and the wildlife that may be encountered along the path.  An experienced guide can give first aid and bandage a wound.  A wilderness guide help travelers make the most of their experiences as they journey through deep valleys or to the mountain top…seeing new things, feeling new things, learning and growing along the way. 
An Archetypal Coach does much the same.

As an Archetypal Coach and guide, my role is to help you traverse the terrain of a spiritual life, to help you recover direction and find your way forward after being lost in the forest.  As a navigator and guide, my role is to help your Soul through a journey of transformation by making sense of its experience through introspection, archetypal exploration, reflection, and meaning-making. 
​I’ve learned that it is in finding and making meaning that the soul discovers its own wholeness and belonging.

An Archetypal Coach helps you to discover where your Soul is headed and helps you get there.  An Archetypal Coach helps you navigate the journey of finding your authentic self and helps guide you to becoming who you are truly meant to be. 

In my work as an Archetypal Coach, I bring decades of formal education, clinical training, and lived experience together to serve you as a guide.  I do not diagnose or treat mental illness or psychiatric disorders; rather, I provide a safe and respectful space for you to explore movements of your Spirit and Soul.  Together we co-create a safe container where Archetypal energies may be encountered with humility, reverence, and depth - without being overwhelmed.

"Sooner or later something seems to call us onto a particular path.  You may remember this 'something' as a signal moment in childhood when an urge out of nowhere, a fascination, a peculiar turn of events
​struck like an annunciation: 
This is what I must do, this is what I've got to have. 
​This is who I am.”

Meditation is the vehicle for becoming intimate with yourself and the world around you - it is a practice of being authentic, open, and fully present with what IS.  Meditation is the gateway to being fully present to the process of transformation.  The practice of meditation is available for anyone and everyone.  With gentle encouragement and patient coaching, anyone can learn to meditate.  Meditation is the way of becoming increasingly aware of and intimate with the marvelous, rich complexity of who you are at your deepest level.  ​

Why
"meditation & alchemy"

Picture
Alchemy is the process of transformation - it is the practice of attending mindfully to the inner-work of our Soul.  As we deepen our meditation and cultivate deep personal awareness, we will naturally align with our Soul's desire to grow, change, and transform.  Becoming who we truly are at the core of our being is a process of Soul alignment. Archetypal Coaching helps align Mind, Soul, and Body.  Working with an Archetypal Transformational Coach can help bring intention and clarity to our inner-work of growth and transformation.​
These two ideas, Meditation and Alchemy, are the primary catalysts for authentic transformation and healing. 
​The principles of Meditation and Alchemy are what make our inner-work of transformation and healing possible.
