    Fear and Longing and Staying On Track

    The Ethics of Caring, Honoring the Web of Life in our Healing Relationships
    by Kylea Taylor with Matthew Sweigart, CI

    Work with clients in non-ordinary states of consciousness offers tremendous potential for healing and for navigation of a slippery slope. This is an understanding that is essential to the practice of many healing arts. Sitting across from one another in regular conversational consciousness can only take us so far along the healing path.
        Yet, non-ordinary states of consciousness present the healing artist with a challenging landscape when it comes to living within ethical, aligned behavior. These states present deep and specific vulnerabilities for both client and practitioner. To guide the process of discovering these vulnerabilities, Taylor follows fears and longings as they relate to a Chakra-based functional model to explore a full range of life concerns.

    As a 35 year clinical healing artist, Sweigart brings a wealth of case study experience to the ethical questions of working with the induction of non-ordinary states of consciousness. He artfully interweaves the Wei Mai Vessels and the Cycles of Aging and Development into the Chakra sequence to deepen therapeutic understanding.

          In this deep journey, participants dive in and swim through the powerful teachings and invitations presented by Kylea Taylor, in her master work, The Ethics of Caring, Honoring the Web of Life in our Healing Relationships.  In addition to 35 years of healing arts experience, Sweigart brings 15 years in men’s groups and an uncanny knack for drawing out insights from written word, His calm and professional guidance helps students dive deep into developing that “internal locus of control” when working with clients in non-ordinary states of consciousness.

  • Natural Foods Cookery

    $595.00

    Natural Foods Cookery

    $595.00

    Matthew’s journey in the healing arts didn’t actually begin with Shiatsu. It began with cooking! In college he practiced being a Vegetarian for a year, and learned just how important food preparation is to creating tasty, healthy meals. Then, as his theatre career interests were waining, he discovered the macrobiotic diet, and spent two years practicing this dietary health regimen. In that time he learned many food preparation and combining techniques.

    There won’t be heavy lessons on alkaline/acid balance, or dogmatic teachings that say “eat this way.” Rather it will be a delicious romp through nature’s cornucopia of foods, with an omnivore’s sensitivity and a colorful approach to culinary adventures. 

    Ten Weeks:
    October 7 – December 16, 2021. Varying length class videos, general meal times (based on Matthew’s kitchen schedule), including breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and possibly a grocery shopping video! Attendees will get notice in advance of classes, and also have access to recordings.

     The Iron John Initiation – Journey to Genius offers an in-depth reading and discovery of Robert Bly’s masterful work about men. Following the plot-line of an ancient folk tale, Bly explores the process of maturation and growth from boyhood to manhood. Significant parallels arise between the ancient tale and our day-to-day experience in the world. Filled with insights into the process of development and growth, the study of Iron John sheds light on every aspect of becoming clearer and stronger in your daily walk as a men in today’s world. Of particular interest in the journey is the process of Katabasis, the vertical descent. In the initiation we learn to “go down” consciously with support, and learn how to rise back up again, better than before. The alternative being that we stumble along in the dark and allow life to “take us down,” and find ourselves lost on the journey! Matthew helps participants find the path into and through that shadow, so that they come through it wiser and deeper and ready for all that life sends their way.
