We explore dimensions of Self (e.g., the Pyramid of Being) as understood by Rev. Scott and the Client, finding common ground and the most effective ways for The Catalyst to adapt skills, knowledge, experience, and resources for the benefit of The Client. A key concept lies in the Transpersonal Domain, where Spirit and Soul—and other aspects of mysticism and non-rational ways of knowing—open access to non-typical states of consciousness essential to wholeness and identity. This offers broader access to our interconnections with Wilderness.

We create “safe spaces” for your individual benefit and also for our mutual benefit, to contain the personal matters that inevitably arise in this work. Sanctuary supports emergence and contemplation of wounds, virtues, shadows, soul, wilderness, and other repressed aspects from the unconscious realms.

We identify needs and ways of meeting the needs for self-care. What are the ways that body, mind, spirit, and soul can be “set free” and made more accessible? This objective often weaves across the entire journey as you reclaim self-sovereignty and connect authentically from your center.

We build a sturdy bridge between each other constructed of patience, understanding, compassion, trust, and openness. This supports authentically vulnerable sharing—being able to say the things that may never have seemed possible to say before. What is shared is protected in confidence, in service of the personal discoveries you have needed all your life.

We cultivate the skills necessary to provide dialog that is in honor of each other—not for voyeurism nor for the spinning of tales, but to explore true meaning. The companion is supported to own their own story: their struggle is returned to them unless or until they bring it forward for further witnessing and processing.

Awe and gratitude have both inward and outward movements in our lives. These senses connect us to our environment, community, and our ideas of value and identity. Being truly amazed by our relationships to self, others, and the cosmos is a gateway to gratitude for everything—big and small.

We reinforce the inherent energy within that connects us to Eco-Awareness and Wilderness: nature and its spiritual energy, as it has come into balance over the ages as our gracious community. This is our (largely forsaken) origin—both around us and (often repressed) within us—supporting an embodied experience of innate membership in the Earth community.

With a foundation in the objectives above, we begin to realize healing and wholing around key facets of the Self. This includes learning how to handle the wounds, virtues, shadows, and wilderness that emerge on the journey toward Soul Encounter. Healing involves tending deep unconscious wounds—not necessarily curing or removing them, but soothing, repairing, befriending, honoring, and holding space for their integration into well-being; wholing is a comprehensive and integrated realization of the Facets of Wholeness, more fully possible once the healing foundation is set.

Your Soul is ever-ready and eager to be revealed into your presence. Because it is rare for a comprehensive “download” of Soul’s revelations to emerge all at once, continued healing, wholeness, and openness are often necessary—some of which can be performed independently. Some seekers come to their revelations naturally and without struggle, while others may find the threshold more difficult to cross, requiring a vision quest or other processes; even when a Catalyst cannot help complete the crossing, the work done provides deep preparation for whatever guidance becomes pertinent.

We explore the ways the revelations of your Soul can be made real as your way of being and purpose in the world. What is your metaphorical and tangible identity? What does it mean to be you? How do you relate to Wilderness and the Greater World Community?

We explore the ways you will share your unique purpose and gifts with the world. How do you fit into the needs of your community? How will you support members of your community and beyond? How will the world be a better place with your help?
