FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS INNER WISDOM WAYFINDING & DREAMWORK?

Our Inner Wisdom is constantly communicating with us. It’s known by different names: Essential Self, the Seeker within, our deepest Truth. It’s learning to open or re-open our sensory levels to help build awareness to receive and decipher its messages.

​

It’s a time of deep listening, a safe place where you can share vulnerable parts of yourself with a caring guide. The work is confidential and held in an atmosphere of curiosity and non-judgement. Along the way you will talk about dreams – both your night dreams and waking dreams. You will unpack both the challenges and gifts of being highly sensitive in today’s world. Meditation, creative expression, breathing exercises, and your energy as an HSP are also explored.

 

WHAT IS A GUIDE OR COMPANION?

Wayfinding is an ancient term given to a special kind of intuitive navigation of the broad oceanscape. With Inner Wisdom Wayfinding, it’s learning to use keen observation and gain knowledge of the inner landscape, utilizing your personal compass to discover a new way of being in the world.

​

As a Guide in this inner exploration Katharine companions you, mirroring back the story being told, offering course-corrective questions. She uses attentive intuition and listens deeply to your life transition journey, to your mystical connection to nature, or to your dreams and visions as you tap into your own inner guidance system.

​

Katharine’s approach is non-therapeutic. It is more akin to John O’Donohue’s Anam Cara or Soul Friend. Sometimes Inner Wisdom Wayfinding and Dreamwork is done in tandem with a therapist or with other complementary healing modalities.

 

WHO ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE PEOPLE (HSPs)?

Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), a term originated by the work of Elaine Aron, PhD,  have a deep yearning to connect to inner wisdom, most particularly in times of transition. HSPs often have gut feelings and intuitive insights. They are drawn to nature, animals, and regularly need time alone to feel more grounded. They sense energies in and around them. HSPs will say they get overwhelmed by absorbing too much energy that is not their own. Inner Wisdom Wayfinding is learning the difference between your energy and the energy of the other. In this way, your own energetic sensations are seen as the inner wisdom presenting itself, inviting you to a healthier, balanced life experience.
