Let Your Life Speak
The capacity to listen to ourselves is the foundation of our capacity to listen to others. The capacity to love others depends on our capacity to love ourselves.
(Thich Nhat Hanh)
We are living in an unprecedented time, a time of global pandemics, political polarisation, economic instability and climate crisis. Our world is both rapidly changing and in desperate need of rapid change. In the midst of all this instability and uncertainty, it can be hard to gain clarity and direction and to discern ways forward.
If you want to make your hoards of gold or to get ahead in the rat race, then I'm not the right conversation partner for you. But if you want to delve into the depths, to uncover and unfold a more meaningful, spacious, soulful and connected life, and to discover your unique and vital part in the more beautiful world that is wanting to emerge, then I might be a good fit for you!
We had thoroughly enjoyable, deep, rich and free flowing conversations that expanded on my current life journey in unexpected ways, leading me to new insights and greater embodiment. I am too much in my mind, and the initial exercises Sam offered led me into new territory that I would not have necessarily got to if I'd just started talking with a pre-prepared agenda.

Let Your Life Speak is a 6 week process, involving six '1-to-1' conversations, via video call, in which you will be supported to listen to your life in ways you have never listened before. By the end of the 6 weeks, you will have:
Gained insights about yourself, and come to a deeper understanding of who you really are.
Been provided with a range of reflective tools and mindfulness practices, to help you to keep listening to your life once the process ends.
Worked with blockages and resistances, that are holding you back from stepping into the life you long to live.
Tuned in to a sense of direction and calling for your life.
Begun crafting a life for yourself that is centered in your own unique gifts and passions, that will help you to move forward, living your life to its fullest.
I recently learned that in Latin, the word "doctor" translates to "teacher". Earlier this year, once I came to the near end of my (mental) health, Sam came to me as a friendly teacher. Sam has taught me how to be a better friend, to others and most importantly, to myself.

Vocation does not come from willfulness. It comes from listening. I must listen to my life and try to understand what it is truly about - quite apart from what I would like it to be about - or my life will never represent anything real in the world, no matter how earnest my intentions. That insight is hidden in the word vocation itself, which is rooted in the Latin for "voice." Vocation does not mean a goal that I pursue. It means a calling that I hear. Before I can tell my life what I want to do with it, I must listen to my life telling me who I am. I must listen for the truths and values at the heart of my own identity, not the standards by which I must live - but the standards by which I cannot help but live if I am living my own life.
