My new 2024 online inner work group and community will start on February 1 with registration opening for a limited time in mid-January. If you’d like to learn more and join the waitlist, please visit here:>> Learn more about Matt’s 2024 Inner Work Group & Community We’ll meet live a few times each month, for meditation, inquiry, imaginal practice, and to explore the mystery of Being, healing, and spiritual transformation. Weaving together depth and somatic psychotherapies, relational neuroscience and trauma studies, and the wisdom of the mystics, yogis, and alchemists, we’ll explore an embodied, trauma-sensitive approach to deep soul healing, self-realization, and the alchemy of the heart. The purpose of the group is to come together in a true holding environment and to open to the power, beauty, and intelligence of the relational field itself as an ally and friend on your own unique path. Here is a sample list of topics we’ll lively cover throughout the year. The depth at which we go into any of these will depend upon the way the group is unfolding and evolving together, and new topics may be added based on interest and passion from the group and from the field itself. Together, we will listen to the Self, and guidance from the soul, allowing it to lead us through the year. While there may be a theme that emerges for each individual session, much of what occurs will arise spontaneously, creatively, and guided by soul and the Self, and the wisdom of the relational field, including much that is transmitted non-conceptually, by way of feeling, emotion, the body, and the imagination. This list is only meant to give you a sense of the possible territory:The Contemporary Path of the Mystic: Union with the Divine and the Sacred WorldTrauma and the Sacred: Exploring the Link Between Our Psychological and Somatic Wounding, and Spiritual RealizationThe Alchemical Imagination and How All Transformation and Healing is Alchemical (and Relational) at its CoreShadow Work and Illuminating Lost Pieces of Soul: Liberating the Frozen, Crystallized Orphans of Psyche and SomaDreamwork and Active Imagination: Opening into the Wisdom of the Soul and Living a Symbolic LifeThe Role of the Body and Somatic Attunement, and How the Body and Nervous System Form the Root Alchemical VesselThe Contemporary Path of the Wounded Healer and the Wisdom Within your Embodied Vulnerability, Tenderness, and SensitivitiesCultivating a Daily Practice Unique to You and Your Individual Soul-PrintThe Foundational Role of Mindfulness, Meditation, and Embodied Inquiry on the Spiritual Path, and Finding Your Own Way into the Contemplative LifeThe Role of Relationship and the Yoga of Intimacy: The Beloved, the Ally, and the Inner and Outer FriendPrioritizing Soul as we Age, and Aging as a Soul Practice: Death, Dying, and Illness as the Alchemical Prima MateriaGriefwork and Tending to the Blue Regions of the Spectrum of Consciousness; the Death of an Old Dream and the Emergent Coming-into-BeingThe Various Forms of Psychotherapy, Meditation, and Inner Work as Types of Alchemical Vessels – as Experiments of the HeartThe Art of Befriending and Becoming a True Friend to Yourself: Cultivating the Healing Power of Self-Compassion and Providing an internal Holding Environment When Things Fall ApartI’ll be posting more information here later in the year about the group and you can also join my mailing list to receive the most up-to-date notifications.
