You are not too late. We sit together and look into life. Phases of life hold a book of maps that have allowed you to get this far. Point one finger to the perimeter. Here is the edge. Land here and wander slowly in.

Ways of Working Together

Conversation… that winds where it will. This takes time. More like a dream time. Answers come in the form of ideas, images, feelings, a story. For the words and ideas to come, exploration needs time and creativity. As more words come through and time flows by…more images form to capture moments to pursue and honor. What is calling out? Creative exercises help facilitate the imaginal realm and memory that bring us to places of noticing and meaning.

Plant Medicine…holds a way into Earth time. Communicating with plants is a magical way for the earth to speak to you. Plants want us to partner with them. It is not through only working with plants internally that one finds healing medicine. Connection and communication with the plants are where we find our plant allies. Of course plants do not always want to be ingested and just want to be in communication with us. This brings deeper medicine. We can actually sit with a plant or dream of a plant to connect with its deeper plant healing qualities. This profound way of working with plants is a resonant way of finding pieces of ourselves that have gone into hiding. Rather than discover another remedy to take in, we can let the etheric energetic of the plant find our resonance as it begins to vibrate a story that we need for growing, healing and learning. I find that in this way of working the plants lead us where we need to go.

Place…is where we stand in this moment in time and all time. I have worked with the idea of place and this journey throughout my life. This ethos has lived within me in all of my movement. Our souls and the soul life of anything we create has its own movement. Synchronicity brings us to places on Earth to live. At times we do not find Home with a particular place. This internal search for meaning can come from a sense of unhappiness with a place that one is living. While this can indeed bring us to a place where it is necessary to move…we cannot always move to where we hope to be. We can find ways of working and living to create resonance with the place where we are living. This holds true for any particular situation that we feel we cannot move out of as well….such as a job, a relationship, an illness, trauma, circumstance, spiritual crisis or disaster. Tools of connection can be found in simple and beautiful activity to awaken deeper places of satisfaction. Art making, mindfulness, story, journal work, mythical tarot work, imaginal wondering, festive living, biographical conversation, celebration, beauty, plants, flower essences and living in wonder…are just some of the ways one can find a new way in.

EmbodyWellness is a a flexible pathway. Each person has a unique body with a particular set of important and diverse needs. I can support you in exploring that. This involves working personally with the teachings of chronic migraine for nearly 40 years. It has been an initiation of pain and challenge into my own hermitage. Chronic pain provides a teaching and a unique view that holds its own experience. Finding teachings and harmony in that journey is one of the gifts of chronic illness. It is not something to be cast out. Holding that tension between wellness and illness is messy. A place to have deep conversation with a true listener holds the energy of being witnessed. This can offer great relief in a world where there is not time or space to hold suffering.

TraumaEveryone has faced different levels of challenge in their life. I have a background that allows me to sit in conversation with you regarding this. However, deep complex trauma generally needs more support than I am able to offer as a caring companion. It is my suggestion that if you find yourself in this pattern that a supportive therapist, healer, or practitioner is ideal to help you along your way. You may find that during our work, memories or remembering awakens something in you that needs deeper work than I can bring to the conversation. Please know that I support your need for finding that caring. No one person has all of what you need. Wise counsel is necessary in this life for finding our way.


Fee Structure & Exchange
I request 125$ per hour.
I think everyone needs a listening ear. Long ago it was something that just happened in our given cultures and villages. Today many people are isolated and strapped for cash and I know what it is like to be there. Let’s talk if this feels like too far a reach for you. I put a lot of work into preparing a meeting with you so I feel that this amount is a fair beginning. If you feel that you can offer a higher amount that is also welcome.

About Linden Weiss
Assume Forgiveness. I have been walking the path of caring for people and the land for a long while. The walk has taken me along a winding road and yet the causeway has always remained. An evolution of growing and developing both personally and holy (whole) in the world is the cairn I sit under. The following will perhaps give you a scroll of parchment paper to see a small piece of my ethos and where I have traveled. Learning is how I understand my shores. It is along this coastline that my life has unfolded in ripples of salt.

More of The Story
Seeing into higher worlds is something I have done since childhood and putting form to this began in this magical place. The importance of earth consciousness blankets much of my personal ethos. Trees hold court for me on this.

The stars and sky form the rhythm of my life. The profound pull of astronomy, astrology and the pulsing of our universe creates a ephemeral climate for each of us to develop in. The seeds planted, the rains watering, the moon pulling, the sun warming…each element informing one another. It is in this realm that our maps can reveal where we are traveling, what we are seeking, where we need to grow and find those stuck places. Astrology is an ongoing study for me and brings me great expanse of vision.

Relationship
Relationship. Where each of us lands with this is unique. We can never fully know the backstory of relationship. The good, the bad, the ugly. I have made deep friendships as well as lost them. The loss of connection is profound. We don’t always get to understand why these karmic relationships happen. One’s own wisdom and inner knowing around these relationships is colored by a bigger picture of why we chose to enter here at this time on earth. It isn’t always for us to know the meaning. We can take our strength and move and work toward good. Each of us is so perfect in ourselves and yet so very flawed. We find this out after living many years on earth and in this world. Perhaps when we look at one another, to the best of our ability, we can see another human that is striving and struggling with the challenge of Being. Just a Human that is Being. We are so different and yet we all breathe the same air. I breathe you into me. I embrace. I let go. It takes great courage to forge forward in our human knowing. Human Being.

*A Note. Biography work is not Therapy. Long ago we humans sat together in conversation and care, tending one another. The outcome of living in The Bone Lines can be as profound as working through counsel. Inspiration and insight arrives slowly or quickly. Words found between the space of souls in creative and imaginal realms request a trust in the unknown. We simply do not know where we’ll land. There is no destination here…merely a wander in the woods of soul time, joy time, sorrow time, all time. Find what we will. Find what is living in your own will forces. We honor complete confidentiality in total trust.

Poetry. The full dome of poetics carries me along a wave of longing. This crest of words and worlds that will continue to help me in Finding Home. I feel into the heart of poetry even when the words escape me. It is through poetry that I find my way home to the sense of who I truly am. Without the pages of outer cloaks and accomplishment it is that rare place that I get to touch what is most meaningful to me in the world. I am me. Walking myself along the best that I can Finding Home.

It is in the authentic sharing of my human self, full of mistakes and courageous acts and mishaps and charges forward…I can find that sword of movement to continue on. It is my hope that in this meeting with the other that together we will open up to a new way of Traveling in the world. A way that is open to possibility and hope and beauty. A way that is strong, courageous and tender and sweet and kind at the same time. Our imaginations carry all of who we are. A track laid down in a slightly different way will begin to forge possibility that only the stars can know. We can begin to breathe in a unique way. Perhaps we can wriggle out of some of our old thinking and find play and joy and vulnerability and unknowing. Instead we can say, I want to get to “unknow” you. So, there you will find me in that field of meeting and we can pause a moment, just a moment and know that I am in fact meeting myself again and Finding Home.

Welcome! What a Mystery!
