Crossover Integrative Arts

Coming out of a meditation yesterday, I wrote:

"As we attune inwardly and come into a coherent state of inner presence, we can begin to sensitively attune with one another, simultaneously experiencing each other co-arising within ourselves and as distinct beings. When we practice relational attunement and group coherence from a foundation of inner presence saturated in living stillness, the creative intelligence of Life can incarnate into wider and deeper structures of conscious love through us. The group body matrix of inner and relational presence allows healing through the co-digestive potency flow of loving awareness from which collective wisdom can emerge."

Much of my life experience has guided me toward group attunement and guidance. It started as an intelligent core wound survival mechanism. I developed a deep sensitivity to the nervous systems in my family to track the group's well-being and determine my safety from the fear of my unknowing. I experimented with emotional expression to harmonize the group field, eventually discovering that artistic expression seemed to bring the most equilibrium and, therefore, more safety and belonging for me.

​
Later, this skill contributed to my ability to artistically collaborate, deeply feeling a group of musicians, singers, or actors and bringing my playing, voice, or expression in as a dynamic pulse of co-creating leadership that invited others into their excellence and fullness.

​
Although I had a lot of access to my inner creative flow, there continued to be many relational aspects of my psyche that were performing based on an outdated script of unsafety, rigidity, and control. Eventually, decades of adaptive inner protection, fragmented trauma energy, and suppressed life force started screaming at me for attention.

​
Over the last 10 years, I've faced, embraced, and loved into wholeness each wound, shadow, and fragment that has appeared. I've compassionately healed and integrated countless layers of personal, ancestral, and collective trauma back into the flow of my/our life stream.

​
I've resolved and healed trauma symptoms of C-PTSD and BPD from childhood sexual abuse and other physical and emotional traumas, along with many layers of ancestral trauma, adapting my protective skills of group attunement by learning to turn inward and tune in to the inner community of my bodyworld, bringing harmony to the core wound matrix of my life's history, transmuting it into a sacred portal of presence.

​
For many years, I became more of a hermit in the cave of my inner world, occasionally emerging to share the medicine I had crafted once I had determined its efficacy and allowed it to become a truly embodied offering. I've tended to ere on the side of caution in this regard, allowing myself first to integrate post-traumatic learning and wisdom for months, if not years, before offering it to others rather than creating a new course or workshop the moment I think something is healed.

​
I've continued to refine my gifts and medicine in group fields of relational presence. In the process, my group attunement, guidance, and creative leadership skills have refined and transformed, now infused with sovereign generativity that invites us into healthy interdependence, learning to explore, feel, and heal the collective nervous system of our shared humanity and embrace the emergent mystery of our unknowing, from which collective wisdom can illuminate us with the collective solutions, insights, and innovations we need to transform and thrive.

Who wants Miriam and I to come to your community to offer our experiential training in presence-based touch, conscious relating, and community healing?

We've been working on it over the last year, though it's a culmination of many years of study and experience. It's called Heart of Touch. There's a more thorough description on our site.

It's a training in non-doing, heart-centered healing touch combined with relational presencing practices that help us work with individuals and groups to address personal, ancestral, and collective transformation, healing, and integration. There's a focus on the remembrance of our wholeness and our embedment in and as Earth.

We're exploring possible locations to explore with groups of around 16-32 people. Access to massage tables and a comfortable space for the training is important.

We'd love to work with people and communities dedicated to their own growth and evolving wholeness, who want to have tools to cultivate deep presence, individual and community health, vibrant relationships, and who want the fabric of their lives to be more harmonized with the web of Life.

If you have ideas, inspirations, or invitations for us, please comment and share your thoughts.

This is a client's reflection from a recent series of online Crossover Guidance sessions with me. It is always a sacred honor to be invited and allowed to accompany people in their inner worlds.

“Adam supported me in journeying with grief after the death of my father. Together, we opened doors to places that felt very tender. I felt safe, held in a loving presence, free from judgment, and abundant in deep care.

Over the few months we worked together, I laughed and cried in the sessions. We talked, sat quietly, and Adam sang and drummed. It all supported me in slowing down and journeying deeper within myself. I connected with the young part of me who was a bit scared of judgment but received nothing but acceptance and care.

I also connected with ancestral and spirit energies that I can now more fully embody.

I would recommend working with Adam to anyone whose inner world longs for deep, simple, loving presence in order to unravel, heal, and awaken resourceful, magical, potent parts of the self.” -Karolina Magdalena Gladych

Three years ago today, in a Relateful Focus session online, I met an engaging, attuned, curious, flowing, gorgeous woman, and for an hour, it felt like we stepped through a portal of resonant presence and aliveness into an unexpectedly delightful and deep connection. We haven’t stopped diving deeper.

Today, we live together in Switzerland, and it is my daily honor to love, choose, and claim her as my woman and partner. To love and permeate her with devotional presence, choose to know her more fully each day, and claim her precious heart and body as can only happen when a sovereign woman chooses to be claimed.

It is also my privilege and joy to receive the devotional gifts of her profound loving, choosing, and claiming of me as her man and partner. With her, I feel trusted, cherished, and adored in ways I never knew possible. In her expansive seeing, feeling, embodied knowing, and exquisitely expressive being, the wholeness of me feels met.

None of this is to imply that our relationship is without conflict, pain, or challenge. It is to celebrate how we cultivate closeness beyond conflict, presence through pain, and greater intimacy with ourselves and each other through the challenges that appear. It is a celebration of our daily choice to show up in the enormity of Love with fresh wonder, hearts rooted in the same soil of soul.

My beloved, once again, I commit myself to you, me, us, and our service in this world. I'm so grateful you called out to me at the end of that session three years ago. Happy anniversary of our meeting. I love you, Miriam Michaela.
