Traditional Soulwork
Beyond Talk Therapy: A Direct Path To Embodied Change
"I've gotten more from working with Chivito in a few sessions than I have in 5 years of therapy." ~ Kathleen, Portland OR

Indigenous healing practices
In today's modern clinical focused and performance addicted mindsets, something has been forgotten, a connection to the deeper meaning and underlying movement shaping our life.
Is This for You?
​
Our work serves people who are:
-
At a crossroads—career, relationship, empty‑nest, grief, or sudden redirection.
-
Ready to shed an old story, emotion, or pattern.
-
Want to anchor and clearly know their path
-
Drawn to nature‑rooted healing beyond clinical talk therapy or performance coaching.
-
Seeking a guide who has both modern certification and has been trained by elders through traditional rites of passage.
If any of that rings true, read on.
“You must first navigate the storms before you can guide others”
What Actually Happens in a Session
Our methodology is an older original way that recognizes we can't intellectualize our healing or gamify our inner growth.
Instead of talk therapy, you have a felt experience of healing, integrating and becoming.
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 in witih where you are.
-
Initial Invocation & Grounding ~ Through poetry/story we ground beneath the noise and enter what's truly wanting to find voice within you.
-
Reflective Dialogue ~ We track the hidden pattern or myth moving beneath your experience
-
Land & Ritual ~ Reveal a ritual or practice where nature becomes a living mirror for release and embodiment
-
Reflect back what you discovered and are carrying with you.
What Change You'll Feel:
-
Old stories loosen their grip; clarity rises
-
Anchored in the Story being lived through you that is yours alone
-
Healing, Integrating and Becoming Whole
-
A sense of clear direction and a map to follow
-
Deeper connection and belonging to your life path
“Chivito’s questions shift my perspective so completely I can’t go back to the old pattern.”

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.
