Dear One,

What I have learned about loss and death is vital to living life more fully. Nature teaches us about impermanence. When we look at the seasons - Spring, Summer, Winter, Autumn - each one dies and changes into the next. It is a cycle we see every year without fail. Nature is not afraid of dying to itself. Nature knows with time it will live again. It shows us that we are constantly in a cycle of releasing and and transforming. It is the same for human biology. Our skin for example, is continually shedding and replenishing itself. Did you know we grow a new body every 7 years? Our cells regenerate themselves automatically. I think it's fantastic! I can name many other examples, like the caterpillar for instance, I wonder if it is afraid to dissolve and become the butterfly?

Our entire life is filled with letting go and grieving the loss of what was, then moving forward and celebrating the next step of what is to be. Let us become conscious of the evolution of our soul as we move into our future. It is our birthright to embrace all of the transitions we will face. Let us remember we are having a human experience and let it enliven us to live with gusto as we accept all of the natural cycles that occur within it. Are you with me? Would you like to take a journey of self exploration? I am happy to be your guide.

  • To learn more about impermanence.
  • To gain personal insight from your higher knowing.
  • To awaken your connection with nature through all your senses.
  • To embrace a more passionate empowered life.

In a two-hour session we will practice breath-work, meditation, metacognitive drawing, and Intentional Creativity guided by an in-person one-on-one experience, or a virtual session. You get to choose, and it will be personalized towards your needs.

You will come away from the experience with insight and knowledge about the natural aspects of nature and releasing what is no longer needed in your life. You will learn to heal and grow from your own personal experience of grief and loss.

Book Your Virtual Session - $200

If you are experiencing a financial burden, let's discuss alternatives.

Meet with me in-person or schedule a virtual session.

I want you to have this opportunity to look at yourself through the lens of impermanence, to embrace grief, and make it your ally so that you may live more fully in the present with more awareness about all of the little deaths you encounter throughout your lifetime.

I will be your guide and take you on a short, meditative journey and visualization to access messages and symbols that are important to you. I will guide you through a creative metacognitive process to gain further insight and map your personal experience.

These practices give you information and insight that you would normally not be able to access otherwise. The combination of meditation and metacognitive drawing gives both right- and left-brain the opportunity to work with each other, allowing for a deeper understanding of who you are and how you think. You may be surprised at what is revealed. We will be using tools that you have easy access to, such as pen and paper, watercolors, and markers.

"Lauren embodies love and compassion and offers a way of healing life wounds that weaves energy work with Shamanic practices and Intentional Creativity. She holds a space that is unbelievably kind, clear, protective, non-judgmental and filled with supportive love... I experienced her as seeing the whole of me, that I am much more than my wounding. The combination of her presence and weave of ancient and contemporary tools and practices invites a way to identify wounding in a fully supported and nourishing manner while also honoring and growing personal autonomy and sovereignty. "
