archetypal coaching with a mindfulness focus
Thirteenth century Zen Master Eihei Dogen wrote...
"To study Zen is to study the self; to study the self is to forget the self; to forget the self is to enlightened by the ten-thousand things."
Pointing at the same truth, beloved Cistercian monk and author Thomas Merton wrote...
"In silence we face and admit the gap between the depth of our being, which we consistently ignore, and the surface which is untrue to our own reality. We recognize the need to be at home with ourselves in order that we may go out to meet others, not just with a mask of affability, but with real commitment and authentic love."

Mindfulness-Focused Archetypal Coaching attends to the "gap" that Merton speaks to in the quote above - the gap between our deepest, truest Self and the superficial masks we present to the world. Archetypal Coaching is an exploration of who each person is at their core level in order to bring that True Self into focus, into empowerment, and into fullness of life and expression.
