Mentoring

From Blah to Belonging
 Next small group session begins in April

​

​If you are a busy & socially engaged professional who cares deeply about the state of our world, chances are you feel exhausted and overwhelmed.
 

To live and be successful in this dominant culture, you move at a fast pace, take care of others, and focus on constantly producing. You feel like you have to do it all, and do it well.

But this often leaves you feeling disconnected from yourself, from your true interconnected nature and your sense of purpose.

This disconnection makes you Blah--which might show up as feeling lonely, depressed, anxious, exhausted, burned out, full of self-doubt--like you can never do enough, like you're wilting.

But, you can avoid being stuck in the Blah of our dominant culture.

You can learn to change course, to re-connect, to know that you belong to yourself, to this living earth, to others.

When you reconnect to belonging, you'll feel more calm, confident, purposeful, and in-alignment. You'll be living a life that is enlivened and energized. You'll feel the power of sacred connection and meaningful relationships.
​

 

I can help you get clear about how to move forward, out of Blah and toward Belonging. You will feel much more clear and much less stuck when you experience my guided process for  envisioning and enacting a life that you really love,  a life that feels meaningful and connected.

​​

I’ll support you in learning to cultivate new mindsets, practices, and ways of being that support wholeness and belonging in your life and work. 

Together we'll move forward from Blah to belonging. With my support you will:

  • Learn how to belong to yourself and how to feel connected to Life.

  • Learn how to move beyond the drain and despair of dominant culture.

  • Learn how to imagine new possibilities and to develop trust and belief in yourself. You can claim a life of belonging that feels easeful and abundant.

  • Feel a greater sense of purpose and alignment as you shape a life of belonging.

  • Learn to tap into your own wisdom and earth wisdom for grounded support.

​

We can work together one on one, or you can join a small group. See my mentoring packages below and book a free 30 minute call to talk more about your needs and to schedule.

I'm Dr. Heather Burns,  an intuitive mentor and expert facilitator. I guide you and hold space for you as you explore new possibilities through emergent life-design. I teach you how to get out of the drain and depair of dominant culture and how to anchor into the wisdom of the living earth so you can move into a life of belonging.

"Heather is a wonderful mentor with a calm and soothing presence. She asks lots of thoughtful questions and has been incredibly supportive and patient through the twists and turns while she journeyed with me! I also really appreciated her thorough follow-up notes and suggested resources. I had a lovely experience working with her and would recommend her to others!"

Working with me may be a good fit if:
 
  • You are a change-maker, culture-shifter, space-holder or care-taker. You are constantly giving to others and you feel depleted.
​
  • You feel consistently overwhelmed and under-inspired. You know you need a change and want more for your life but aren't sure how to get there.
​
  • You feel unclear about how you could move forward into a different kind of life. You're stuck in your head going over all the possibilities. You're doing a lot of searching outside of yourself.
​
  • You often find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lonely, or exhausted. You feel a lot of "not-enoughness" and self-doubt.
​
  • You feel under-resourced or undervalued in your work or life and you are longing for more a more meaningful life that fills you up. You want your values and skills to be aligned with your work.
​
  • You want your life to feel purposeful, meaningful, and joyful
​​
  • You feel burned out and need support finding your way beyond burnout
​​

"This mentoring work helped to clarify my core needs and enliven my key values; I'm now designing my path forward with a greater sense of cohesion. Heather is a gifted facilitator and intuitive mentor—I throughly enjoyed engaging in this process with her."

My approach to Mentoring
My approach to mentoring is relational, welcoming, gentle, curious, and compassionate. I lean into my intuition to understand you energetically and holistically. I listen closely and ask good questions. I hold space for your emotions and create a container for you to observe, imagine, explore, and learn new skills.

I will teach you skills for developing a deeper understanding of your own wisdom, and for anchoring into earth wisdom. I use an Emergent Ecological Design framework that can lead you naturally into practices and patterns of healing and renewal.
​
When you engage in a mentoring package with me with me you will:
​
  • Learn a process for observing your values, desires, and needs as the foundation for moving toward belonging
  • Learn a process for getting clear about what you want and how your life can feel more meaningful and aligned
  • Learn a process for harnessing imagination and vision to move toward belonging
  • Create a vision for your life and work that feels right for who you are now,  the way you want to live, and the needs and dreams that you have
  • Learn skills and practices for deepening your confidence for moving towards belonging
  • Learn skills for anchoring into earth's wisdom and willing partnership as a tool for belonging
  • Learn how to create daily and seasonal patterns of alignment and belonging to support a life that brings you meaning and joy
  • Learn how to do less and take aligned action
  • Create a clear plan for moving in a new direction.
​​

"This was a wonderful process. I am grateful for Heather's generosity in sharing knowledge, time, and wisdom. This experience has not only shaped and informed my professional path but also contributed significantly to my personal growth. This is a continued process of self-compassion and exploring possibilities. I am grateful to have the tools to continue on this journey."
