Traditional Soulwork
A Path To Embodied Change
"I've stopped trying to fix myself. Stopped being at war with my life and started being part of how it's shaping me. " ~ Kathleen, Portland OR
There are moments in life when we sense that something deeper is trying to shape us through what we are living. Yet many of us have lost our relationship to the deeper meaning and underlying movement shaping our lives.
Perspectives
Drawing from indigenous wisdom, Eastern philosophy, archetypal psychology, and ancestral ways of relating to life, we view your path as something living... an unfolding relationship between your inner world, your wounds, your gifts, and the deeper intelligence moving through your life.
We call this path your Suk’waya... the living thread of your becoming.
“Sometimes the path we are walking is also the path that is shaping us into who we are becoming.”
Where therapeutic work may help address distress, patterns, or trauma, our work explores how life experiences are also gateways into deeper meaning, transformation, and our Suk'waya.
Rather than asking, "What needs to be fixed?"
We explore:
How is your current experience inviting you into new relationship with yourself... your gifts and wounds... with what you're here to truly live?
We ask, "How has the life you've lived and the experiences therein shaped you?
What is seeking to emerge through your present season of life?"
“At some point, many of us begin to ask a different kind of question... not just ‘How do I get through life?’ but ‘What is my life trying to shape within me?’”
The Methods
Through skilled inquiry, reflective dialogue, storytelling, ritual, and symbolic understanding, we help you recognize the archetypal patterns, mythic themes, and unconscious beliefs influencing your journey.
Together, we work with timeless maps and embodied practices that help you walk your path consciously... not as a passive recipient of fate, but as an active participant in your own unfolding.
This is not about becoming someone else. It is about learning how to walk in deeper relationship with who you already are becoming.

“Chivito’s questions shift my perspective so completely I can’t go back to the old pattern.”

Your Session Entails:
Sessions are typically 60 - 90 mins and are either in person or by phone. Others are held in nature. Each session is unique and greets you with where you are.
CORE ELEMENTS OF OUR METHODOLOGY:
🔹 Rooted in Lived Initiation
This work is grounded in direct experience—not theory.
Practitioners have undergone traditional rites of passage, wilderness vision fasts, grief rituals, and long-term mentorship with elders. We don’t speak about transformation—we’ve walked it.
🔹 Professional Depth & Embodied Practice
Certified in Psychology, Eastern Medicine, and Facilitation, this work goes beyond academic credentials. Every tool offered has been tested in the field—through guiding others, and through living it ourselves.
🔹 Mythic Orientation
We don’t pathologize.
Instead, we track your personal myth—following patterns, symbolic cycles, and developmental thresholds. You gain language and perspective for the deeper story shaping your life.
🔹 Ancestral & Earth-Based Framework
This work honors the unseen world, the land beneath us, and the old ways that remember life as intelligent and sacred.
It is ceremonial by nature, and rooted in something far older than self-help.
