A PATH OF GRACE
"Human Beings share two priorities, to be loved and to be understood" Christopher Titmuss
And when we give love and a commitment to understanding each other, Grace naturally emerges.
No matter the body of spiritual belief we each may hold as spiritual within ourselves
be it through a specific religious system or not,
or through the wonders and gifts of the natural world-
Living with grace and remembering our truth and purpose, is possible!
Marnie's work is non-secular and will compliment a wide array belief systems. Her work is designed
to meet you where you are to help you remember a universal truth you already hold within yourself
which may seem blocked or veiled to you at this time.
She is answering an inner calling through this path of service to others and tailors each offering
to be unique to each client's needs.
It is not therapy. It isn't even life coaching. It is a pathway, with a guide.
Spiritual Offerings
Opening the Heart to Love and Wisdom
Preparation & Integration
Marnie supports those attending long form formal retreats or sacred medicine retreats in the preparation for and integration process
after such an experience.
There is much to be gained from this kind of experience in one's life but once we return home, we are often engulfed in life as-is, the status quo and the insight and power we left the retreat with can fade without integrative support. Marnie deeply understands the support that is needed because she has needed it too. She can hold space for you that nurtures and helps you sustain and cultivate the fruits gathered from growth you underwent.
Medicine Walks
Integral to this spiritual path, you are invited into natural landscapes: either guided in- person, or solo into a local wild space in your own home ecosystem. These invitations on the land help you rewild and connect deeply in healing ways, communing with natural elements and your non-human companions (flora/fauna) that surround and enliven your life. In this work together, Marnie applies her sensitivity and relationships with the spirits of the land and elemental energies to hear the invitations that come directly from them, that can serve as medicine for each client until the client can hear them too.
Spiritual Listening:
Mindful Mentoring
This component of our medicine work together incorporates a hybrid blend of personal exploration and virtual connection. From the comfort of your home. (Modalities utilized: Video, Texting, Readings, Journaling, Art).
Marnie intuits her guidance based on your unique intentions and needs infused with practices from sacred lineages she has apprenticed with and initiated within.
Retreat/Ceremony:
Holding the Sacred Space
This facet of our work together incorporates ceremony and ritual into your practice. Based on the path we co-create, these ceremonies can take place in-person or virtually from your home sanctuary or on a wilderness sanctuary in the SW Colorado area. The possibilities in how we set this container are endless, and will endeavor to deeply serve your intentions!
So, how does this work?
Marnie is a holder of sacred space- in the middle of daily life.
She listens for your inner truth;
that precious and wise part of you that our modern lifestyle and social norms has
caused you to tuck away, deny or protect.
Marnie helps you remember.
She accompanies and guides you to look at what's just below the surface,
veiled, or behind your suffering, struggle, or dis-ease.
Together we will weave your wisdom back towards you until you are
weaving it into your own life with Grace.
Marnie can help you recollect those breadcrumbs of insight you've left
yourself through your lived experiences.
Marnie offers invitations and practices within which you begin to see for yourself
how you can restore a wise relationship with your own divinity.
Together, Marnie & her clients will call it forward in our sessions
and this assists you to see it, acknowledge it, name it, clarify it for yourself.
So that the you become ever more able to rebuild a loving and wise relationship
with this brilliant, loving, and most wise aspect of yourself.
