MENTORING WITH PETER SCANLAN

Working with a mentor or coach can be invaluable in the ongoing journey to soul which often includes exploring in a non-intellectual way old emotional wounds and the once useful though now troublesome strategies of self-protection. One of the most valuable experiences that I offer as a mentor is to listen deeply to the unfolding story of your journey, and to serve as a mirror without interpretation-reflecting back the unique aspects of your path, honoring the steps taken, assisting the embodiment of what has unfolded, and assisting in co-creating the tasks of the next steps. Mentoring sessions also often provide increased support and motivation for completing tasks.

Mentoring sessions are by Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, or phone. Frequency of sessions is determined by the mentee. If you are interested in exploring whether mentoring is right for you, please contact me by email (peterscanlan@comcast.net).

Possible aspects of mentoring:

• Nature-based work using the four-direction Map of the Psyche

• Effective curtailment of self-limiting survival strategies

• Mining the story of your wounding for the gifts embedded there

• Discovering the mythic elements of your deeper life story

• Enhancing your wholeness

• Exploring ancestral energies and influences

• Tasks on the land between sessions

• Dream work

• Deep imagery

• Shadow work

• Follow-up work for those who have participated a vision quest or other nature-based programs or for those who want to incorporate the above mentioned practices into any kind of personal work that they have already done

Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you - because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answers.
