PERSONAL MENTORSHIP WITH EDEN

For those who feel called to practice with Eden one-on-one in a more concentrated way, she offers Personal Mentorship. This is an opportunity to meet with Eden on a monthly basis, over a period of time for 50-minute sessions over phone/Zoom. 

A mentor/mentee relationship is an expression of Kalyanna Mitte or spiritual friendship. This points to the quality of friendship in which the mentor aspires to maintain clear seeing of the mentee’s true nature, and helps the mentee to recognize true nature throughout life’s challenges, beyond the conditioned habit patterns, postures, and survival strategies of ego or separate self.

Drawing upon 3 decades of experience in Zen Buddhism and other pathways of embodied meditation, Conscious Movement and Somatic Inquiry, drawing upon Relational Mindfulness, The Work that Reconnects, and Ancestral Healing, Eden’s work is grounded in partnership with nature and recognizes the divine interplay of light and dark on the path of awakening. The healing space she offers carries the balance of gentle and fierce compassion. Both are required to engage in shadow work, healing trauma,  and to facilitate long-term sustainable change in our lives and our world.

There is a waiting list for new mentees. Please fill out this form to sign up for the waiting list.

Another option for working with me closely is to apply for the 2024 Heart of Listening Facilitation Training and Mentorship. For more information, click here.

Individual sessions are 50 minutes and take place via phone or Zoom.

$150-$275 Sliding Scale

HOW THIS SLIDING SCALE WORKS:

It is impossible to put a fixed price on spiritual mentorship. What people receive through these sessions can transform their entire life and perspective. We understand that not everyone stands on the same ground financially and that we exist in a dispassionate economy. Our approach to economics is less about capitalistic transactions and more about nurturing an economics of the shared heart.  We therefore invite you to pay the amount that you are able to, based on this sliding scale, coming from your heart. Those of you who have less resources are therefore able to be accommodated and those who have more can “pay it forward” to help someone else in the community do the work. This is an incredible opportunity to be of service in today’s world.

It takes a tremendous amount of resources to offer spiritual work in the world. Your payment goes not only to helping Eden meet her basic needs but also helping our organization to operate. What Eden offers - through her presence, embodiment, clear perception, and skillset, has taken years of cultivation. She exited the conventional money-making economy for over a decade to do her spiritual training both as a monastic and engaged in earth-based service work. She has attended many trainings over the years that your financial support helps her to pay back. Please do not think of your payment as a “transaction” but a contribution to the entire field of Eden’s teachings, from the past, present, and into the future.
