Self-Trust

You are a unique articulation of organic life and spirit. 

With particular urges that animate you,

ways of being and forms of creativity & family that want to actualize through you.

I work with people to lay the foundation for this kind of self-realization. 

Together we dissolve your inhibitions and doubts and deepen your unconditional love for yourself,

allowing you to live in ways that feel “right” to you and that genuinely connect you to the world.

Your rhythms are specific to you

and as you relax into who you actually are,

those rhythms flow with an intrinsic magnetism that organizes your world

in ways that are spiritually full, materially practical, and natural to you. 

Sooner than you’d think,

you’ll develop a surefooted ability to navigate life as it arises,

genuinely trusting your ability to ‘use every part of the animal‘

and metabolize the events of your life in ways that nourish you deeply.

This opens more space for substantive connections with others

that inevitably soften your tendency to take your material and social conditions as symbols of your worth.

Daily life changes from obligations and slog

to the enjoyment of tending the garden of interests, projects, and relationships that make you feel full.

And these connections become the space into which “you” expand,

where your innate qualities unfold as the compass of your decision-making,

actualized through your way of being and building your world.

 

I’m Elias,

After feeling deeply anxious, depressed, and alienated from other people for the first decades of my life, I devoted the last 15 years to spiritual and emotional self-inquiry in an effort to feel a genuine connection to myself and others, and a sense of real capability in the world.

I got more than I knew to ask for, and my path here took me from a much-too-early-in-life heroin addiction, through various 12-step programs, to a few profound spiritual teachers that have helped me come to an expanding and often shameless love & curiosity that makes life so much more satisfying and beautiful to live, even when its messy.
