Begin Where Inspiration Enters the Field
Exploring how individuals and teams move from fixing problems to understanding the conditions that create them.
From Improvement to Awareness
Most approaches to change begin with a problem to solve. This work begins somewhere else.
First-order change focuses on improving what already exists. Second-order change alters the conditions that shape behavior, culture, and meaning.
The Alchemy of Change introduces this distinction and how it unfolds personally, relationally, and collectively.
One Way to Begin
Some people begin through reflection and reading. Others through symbolic self-recognition.
The Archetype Explorer is a brief mirror — not a diagnosis — designed to reveal how attention and narrative organize experience.
If it resonates, keep it. If it doesn’t, let it go.
Individual Inquiry
Reflection, creative practice, and symbolic tools for recognizing the patterns shaping your inner and outer life.

Work with organizations and teams seeking awareness of the systems shaping culture, behavior, and decision-making — beyond surface-level improvement.
Organizational WorkShared Fields of Practice
Retreats and small groups create contained environments where shared awareness allows systems to reorganize naturally.

Second-order change cannot be implemented.
It requires time, containment, and shared attention — conditions rarely available in everyday life or organizational structures.
Retreats and facilitated groups create temporary fields where systems can recognize themselves. What emerges is not a plan, but a shift in perception.
When no one is asked to change, change becomes possible.
Begin with the Book
The Alchemy of Change is the conceptual foundation for this work — from individual inquiry to organizational practice and retreats.
It is not a method. It is a way of seeing.
Learn to Hold the Field
Some people begin this work for personal clarity. Over time, they feel drawn to hold attention for others — in groups, teams, and organizations.
Facilitation here is not technique-based. It is a practice of perception, allowing systems to reorganize without force or blame.
Continuing the Conversation
From time to time, I work with individuals, groups, and organizations who want to explore this work in a more applied or relational way.
