Group Therapy:
Stabilizing as the Compassionate Witness
Tuesdays 11 am - 1 pm Central Time

Our approach is simple—all of our inner experience is non-problematic when held in the warm responsiveness of compassionate awareness.
This group intends to hold that sensibility in all of its sessions and interactions, continually pointing you back to the loving ground of being as well as its many manifestations. Through deep modeling, relating, and practicing, you’ll find ways to embrace aspects of your humanity that have been orphaned, exiled, or divided from the stream of your experience. You'll also discover more deeply how all of our previous attempts to divide from ourselves have been strategies to survive, stay connected, and try for peace in the most difficult of circumstances.
​
​
This group may be for you if you:
-
Find your sense of self evolving and want a deeper therapeutic space to let things continue unfolding.
-
Want to incorporate Western psychotherapeutic approaches with the ineffable nature of pure awareness.
-
Trust that compassionately integrating old strategies for love, acceptance, and connection will support your waking up, growing up, and showing up in the world.
-
Notice that groups and relationships continually feel like tricky spaces for you, despite your having significant changes in your awareness and consciousness.
​
​
Why “Group Therapy?”
We find that many groups holding space for psychospiritual growth walk a fine line between therapy and coaching/mentoring/training. In this group, we want to be clear that we’re in the business of therapeutic transformation by inviting the pain, wounding, trauma, or grief that may not be explicitly invited in other circles.
​
We intentionally keep small cohorts (9 max) with high therapist-to-participant ratios to increase the chances of attentive holding of our younger selves’ inner organization.
​
[Note that we—Mamie and Paul—are licensed in only a few states/provinces. Depending on who signs up for the cohort, we may do this work under our "coaching" umbrella instead of "licensed therapist" umbrella, although the work will be very similar.]

Facilitators

Paul Peterson
​
My intention is to embrace all of experience exactly as it is. In group, we'll all find the edges and limitations of our ability to be in full acceptance of what is, and I hope to be a voice of kindness as we find our way forward.
My interests include mind-body connection, meditation & hypnosis, and spirituality. And eating great food with my wife and kids!
Mamie Payne
​
My intention is to provide a safe and generative space for you to explore the vast and varied landscapes of your life with an eye for the sacred beauty inherent in all experience.
I hold the perspective that everyone has the capacity to access freedom from suffering and live a fulfilling life of possibility.
