I conduct 1-3 Hour Personal Mentoring Sessions, primarily in the Homes of my Clientele, or sometimes in Public Places (such as coffee shops, churches, offices, etc.)….at a Cost of $50 per/hour. I recommend Weekly Sessions; but will negotiate sessions every other week, if the intensity of the work, or individual financial situations, require less frequent Mentorship Time. I am reluctant to work with individuals less frequently than the above….unless particular life (i.e. travel for work) or health (needs for less strenuous activities) situations are present. In cases where Mentorship Services are requested by individuals who live a substantial distance from my Home, in North-West Oregon…..I am willing to arrange Personal Half or Whole Day Training Sessions, or even Inclusive, Individual Weekend Retreats; at whatever intervals are required. Auto Travel for distances of more than 25 miles, is reimbursed at the rate of 25 cents per mile; Air Travel is compensated fully; and overnight Hotel accommodations are paid by the Mentee…..if travel exceeds 100 miles, one way. Travel Time, in excess of 1 hour, per Mentoring period; is reimbursed at the rate of $50 per/hour.

Mentoring is a an interpersonal process of coaching, advisement, education, counseling, sharing, and advocacy; that provides support, structure, and momentum to advanced levels of psychological, emotional, and spiritual growth and development. The methods I use include guided cognitive imagery, integration of sensory and physical energy, meditation and concentrated (mindful) awareness, outside reading and use of audio-visual media, and direct teaching and evaluation. These learning modalities contribute to the understanding of both the absolute value of individual being, and the holistic connectedness of universal life; and provide a basic foundation of value, meaning, creativity, responsibility, empowerment, joy, and compassion to those with whom I work. Our mentoring work together includes sharing of aspirations as well as conflicts, exploration of alternative ways of knowing and being; and experiencing the inspirational benefits of honest, goal-directed, and human relational partnership….in advancing to more serene, centered, balanced, harmonious, peaceful, and wise dimensions along the Pathway (Tao) of Living.
