In September 2021, my wife and I moved from the U.S. to a health clinic in rural Guatemala. Coming here was a reset for me and I started to explore coaching online as a vocation. I trained in Internal Family Systems, T-Groups, and Somatic Experiencing, and learned that I love the 1-1 work. It feels like a "sacred" dance.
Where I've struggled is having a reliable, predictable and consistent stream of clients and that's what brings me to Soul Gym/ABC. Originally, I thought that I would focus on serving startup founders as an executive coach, but I've naturally shifted to serve those from various walks of life and hold space for inner listening.
As a result, my edges:
- I wonder how I might be more precise about who I serve and what I offer.
- Authentic expression through writing, social media, etc. is also an edge for me. Parts of me freeze even at the prospect of putting myself out there.
Earlier in 2023, I completed 3-month program on climate change and along the way, I found myself immersing in ecological visions from Kim Stanley Robinson, Donella Meadows, Jason Hickel, Kate Raworth and others that have deeply inspired me. It's led to me to sit with the inquiry, "What is the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible?"
Nowadays, I'm lit up by: ecovillages, syntropic agroforestry, continuum parenting (first baby due in mid-December, 2023!), degrowth & dhamma, somatics & social change, and other beautiful ways of living.
Very open to connect with others as we go about this journey!

Thanks to Shoubhik for bringing up this topic, and Sophia's additional video below! You are welcome to comment below as well. (If you don't see any comments below, it means you're not logged into the course, or perhaps not enrolled. If you haven't enrolled, you can do so here.)
I'm in process of putting together a way of visualizing the list of my courses, and will share it in the coming weeks. And -- I've heard that some of you have already put together your own list! :) I love seeing different ways of visualizing and organizing info, so I welcome you to comment below with yours 😊 In your comment you can click on the paperclip icon to attach a file (such as a photo or screenshot) ...or if you want to share with us a document or spreadsheet, I recommend putting it on google drive, and then click the "share" button for that document/sheet, and put that link in your comment. Thank you. I look forward to seeing and learning from a diversity of ways 🙏🏼 (If you don't see any comments below, it means you're currently logged out, or don't have access to this course.)
Would you recommend that I do the CORE program before the other ones (e.g. Biz Plan, Joyful Productivity, etc.)? If so, is it possible for us to start enrolling in our additional classes via credits before January 1st?
I wish you all could take all of these courses simultaneously and understand everything 😂 but alas, one at a time is best. Whether to choose CORE vs BizPlan or JoyfulPro is a tricky question. But it's a good idea to go with your yearning for clarifying things via CORE. Yes, the credit system for enrolling in courses should be up and running by next Monday!
Daily energy reboot is the secret of working lightly. My secret of staying healthy and personally sustainable, working focused hours more consistently than most people, even though I’m actually easily distractible. But I keep returning, returning, returning... In this lesson's video I describe the foundation of the Energy Reboot.
"I'm here to practice love."
Chills! Loved that refrain. I find it deeply.... centering.
