you are elemental

at the core of what I do is a simple and ancient premise: you are made of the world and the stars.the stability of Earth lives in your bones and your habits. water moves through your blood and your emotional life. Fire warms your body and animates your creativity. Air is your breath, your thought, your reach outward. and behind, within, and beyond all of it: Space, the "ground" that holds everything else.for most of human history, these were not metaphors. they were a living map--a way of reading yourself, your relationships, your place in the order of things. ancient yogic traditions called them tattwas. mystery schools built entire systems of inner development around them. and the body, if you slow down enough to listen, still knows them directly.we live in a time that works hard to sever that knowing. the pace, the noise, the relentless demand to produce and optimize...all of it pulls us out of elemental contact and into a kind of chronic homesickness we rarely name. what i offer is a way back. not through belief, but through direct experience, because nature only knows presence, and the elements are the oldest teachers of that fact.whether we work together through the elemental apprenticeship, a threshold ceremony, consciousness coaching, or meditation and breathwork, the ground beneath all of it is the same: slowing down enough to remember what you are made of, and learning to move from that place.i look forward to our journey together.-brenton

elemental apprenticeship

an initiatory journey with the elemental building blocks of creationduration: 6-8 months | 12 sessions
format: hybrid/in-personthe world is asking something of you. this work helps you answer.a living apprenticeship with Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space — as they move through your body, your life, and the world around you. this is not therapy. it is not wellness coaching. it is initiated, elemental discovery for those who have done foundational inner work and are ready to go deeper.through somatic practice, tattwa journeying, ecotherapy, ritual, and inner plane exploration, you develop a felt sense of the elements as a whole-life compass — a barometer for balance that lives in your body, not your mind.the apprenticeship unfolds across two seasonal containers, each opening and closing with ceremony, and incorporates elemental yantra work related to:

  • Somatic Attunement (Somatic/Dissolution Yantra Journeys) — meeting the elements through the body and classical tantric yantra work

  • Portal Attunement (Portal/Emanating Yantra Journeys) — deepening elemental navigation through Golden Dawn yantra practice

  • Relational Attunement (Mult-Element Yantra Journeys) — working with elemental relationships and complex multi-element dynamics

consciousness coaching

ongoing navigational work for those building a deliberate, awakened inner lifeduration: 6-8 months | 12 sessions
format: hybrid/in-personmost coaching helps you optimize your life. this work helps you understand what your life is actually for, and then move toward it with the full force of your awareness.consciousness coaching is my synthesis of yogic philosophy, western esoteric practice, and practical inner mind navigation, brought to bear on the specific questions, patterns, and possibilities alive in your life right now. it is for people who are already spiritually curious or active and want a thinking partner, guide, and practitioner who can meet them at depth, without dumbing it down.sessions draw from whatever the work requires: gene keys and contemplative astrology, magical and yogic frameworks, inner plane journeying, somatic inquiry, ritual design, dream work, shadow navigation, and the practical application of metaphysical principles to how you actually live.the through-line is always the same: learning to read the intelligence that is already moving through your life, and developing real agency in how you respond to it.

threshold & initiation ritual coaching

a single-season ceremonial journey through life's major passagesduration: 3-4 months | 7 sessions
format: hybrid/in-personsome passages are too significant to simply accept or survive.this seven-session journey is for people standing at a genuine threshold — graduation, completion, union, separation, birth, death, and the long territories between. drawing on the ancient architecture of rites of passage (severance, threshold, and incorporation), this work guides you through designing and performing a personal ceremony that meets your life with the dignity it deserves.particularly suited for therapists, healers, and practitioners who have spent years holding space for others through passage and now find themselves at their own threshold without a container. also for anyone who senses that what they are moving through deserves more than endurance.when ritual work centers on death and dying, i work exclusively in partnership with McKenzie Bellis, whose background as a death doula and registered nurse brings a balance of clinical grounding and whole-person wellness to that threshold; and Rachelle Cornelius, whose training as a therapist and depth in ecotherapy, healing ceremony, and energy medicine brings both clinical presence and the language of soul, earth, and ritual to what medicine alone cannot hold.

meditation, breathwork, sound

individual sessions and packages for those building a sustained inner practicefor those seeking specific guidance around meditation, breathwork, and other forms of inner yoga — whether you are beginning a practice, deepening one, or working through something that needs the particular medicine of breath and stillness. individual sessions are shaped by what you bring.some people come for technique, learning specific pranayama, trataka, or somatic breathwork practices. some come for integration, using breath and meditation to process and settle what other inner work has opened. some come simply because they've lost the thread of their practice and need someone to sit with them while they find it again. all of these are welcome.the 4-session package is designed as a focused arc — enough time to establish or re-establish a practice, work through a specific area of inquiry, and leave with something you can sustain on your own.
sessions can be supplemented with my recorded practices on our patreon platform.
