elemental balance
The most powerful way I work with people is in awakening and balancing the elements in mind and body. After all, he core of our being is elemental. We have the solid stability of Earth in our bones and habits; we have the fluid flexibility of Water in our blood and our emotions; we embody the warmth of Fire in our temperature and our creativity; we experience Air in our breath and in our thinking; and behind, within, and beyond us all is Space.For millions of years humans evolved to live intimately connected with Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Space, and ancient yogic texts describe these building blocks as "tattwas" or "elements". We live in a time where capitalism and technological advancement threaten to sever our connection with the elemental essence of who we are, and so it's never been more important to do this work. We are far more than we think we are! When we awaken our elemental senses, we come into presence like we never have before, because nature only knows presence.
Whatever work we do together will be grounded in principles of the elements and the natural world. Check out some of the ways I work with people and groups below, and feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to our journeys together!-Brenton
seasonal coaching
the flow of my coaching harmonizes with the seasons and the cycles of the natural world. in Spring we'll work with the qualities of Air; in Summer, Fire; in Fall, Earth; and in Winter, Water (Space will be there throughout). ultimately working with me is about tapping into your innate magic and power, in ways that regulate your nervous system and open creative flow.our sessions will be outdoors whenever possible, so that we're immersed in the elements we seek to harness and balance. we'll tailor specific elemental practices that will help you synchronize with the energies of creativity, balance, flow, inspiration, synchronicity, and stability. When I work 1-on-1 with people in this capacity, we utilize everything in my toolbox, including:
meditation, breathwork, & yogic practice
gene keys & human design
tattwa yoga, yantras, & inner journeying
elemental purification & ecotherapy
IFS (parts), archetypes, & dreamwork
ritual, ceremony, & intentional practice
much, much more...

breathwork, meditation, & sound
i began facilitating and teaching esoteric mindfulness in 2009, and have honed my practice and style over the last sixteen years. now i offer individual and group sessions in meditation, breathwork, and sound healing (all with a focus on the ways we embody Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Space).often these sessions combine elements of meditation, breathwork, and sound (including music, chanting, singing, and singing bowls), however we can focus upon a single aspect of mindfulness if you want/need. some of my favorite styles include:
yogic, rebirthing, & psychotropic breathwork
meditation inspired by buddhist, tantric, taoist, & tibetan traditions
nervous system regulation practices
(these services are only available in-person, and can be booked individually or as a group.)
ritual, ceremony, & integration
ritual and ceremony have been a part of human culture for thousands of years. today we are recognizing the need to return to these kinds of intentional practices, but many of us don't have the culture to support it. our desire for and approach to psychedelic experience reflects this, and oftentimes the integration aspect of ceremony is very much lacking.
i work with people in sober or cannabis-infused ritual and ceremony, in order to help them release, integrate, and/or cross a threshold. we'll incorporate breathwork, inner journeying, tattwa yoga, and meditation into the physical practices of a ritual we work together to design and implement. we'll then have at least two integration sessions to help you sustain the changes you desire to make, as we build the inner and outer support systems to help you transform. this experience is helpful for:
those desiring radical change in their identity, their lives, and their perspectives of themselves
people who have experienced some kind of trauma or pain, and are ready to move into a new place of healing and release
anyone who desires to step into a new version of themselves (and perhaps has had trouble doing it alone)
deep, integrated healing of various parts of self and family/genetic trauma (including soul retrieval)
those who have experienced a psychedelic trip and are having trouble integrating the awakening into daily life
due to the significance of ceremonial and ritual work, i require a minimum of FIVE sessions: an intro session, a planning session, a ritual session, and two integration sessions.
