Integral Unfoldment

I primarily practice Aletheia Integral Unfoldment in my 1:1 coaching sessions. We work with psychological material, somatic awareness, and deep states of Presence through a process that can feel like we’re meditating together. This co-meditation creates powerful possibilities for transformation.

A key principle in this way of working is to welcome everything, just as it is. We’re learning how to sit face-to-face with ourselves, by sitting face-to-face with each other. Doing this deep inner work in a relational way makes it easier to integrate into our lives.

We find ourselves being with a great paradox: We have no agenda to fix or change anything. And, by unconditionally welcoming what’s here now, we’re creating space for something new to unfold.

In the Aletheia method, we use a unique depths model that allows us to safely and dynamically welcome what’s arising with acceptance and compassion:

• Depth of Parts - we work with our conditioned tendencies, reactivity, and defenses to find harmony and balance in our inner system. The Depth of Parts is inspired by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Inner Relationship Focusing.

• Depth of Process - using the felt sense and felt images, we attune to the wisdom of the body to expand our sense of relatedness and flow.

• Depth of Presence & Absence - As we drop deeper, qualities of Presence become more available as an inner resource. At the same time, we can recognize an Absence not as a deficiency or lack, but as a living field of openness. When we learn to be with Absence—without grasping or rejecting—it can spontaneously reveal the precise quality of Presence needed to meet what is arising now.

• Depth of Nondual Presence - As we continue to let go, there is an interconnectedness with everyone and everything that is our deepest ground.
