The Elemental Path

Find your place and step into power within a transformative, nine-month container.


Right now we are being called to align our work, relationships, and the missions we serve with who we are at our core.

Yet, many people feel disconnected from their power and unclear about their purpose.
‍
Over these nine months, we will gather as a cohort to support connection with your most deeply held gifts through a process of support, challenge, and camaraderie.  

Moving between a powerful set of practices based on the five elements, you will have direct support from experienced leadership coach and guide Spencer Honeyman as well as a network of peers.

The program begins and ends with a transformative 6-day, in-person retreat involving nature solos embedded in the California wilderness.

In between these core retreats, we will gather in small group coaching circles, peer pods, and a 3-day, virtual retreat to deepen and digest your learnings.

‍
❂ One three-day, virtual retreat

The Elemental Practices:

We follow a set of practices based on the five elements that create a powerful alchemy of  safety, transformation, and empowerment. We cycle between these domains depending on where we are in the cycle of each retreat and our work together.

+  Earth // Nature Connection & Embodiment

Earth is about connection to our bodies and connection to the land. We will conduct two short Vision Quests (nature solos) and be embedded outdoors during the in-person retreats. We also work with the body through movement and partner exercises.

+  Water // Relational Practice

Water is about relational practices with one another. We engage collectively with interpersonal and communication practices to deepen our experience of coherence, presence, and safety in groups.

+  Space // Meditation

Space is about developing access to a quality of ease outside of the thinking mind. We work with foundational meditation training to access a quality of stability, presence, and spaciousness.

+  Air // Song & Play

Air is about expression and song. Especially during in-person retreats, we practice in the dimension of play through circlesinging and improv as a support for integrating our process.

+  Fire // Philosophy & Poetry

Fire is about distillation and inspiration through philosophy and poetry. We weave in poetry and useful philosophical models for human development to guide us on our way.

FAQs

+  What will I get from this program?

You will be in a unique, transformative support structure that will include elements of personal healing as well as gaining clarity and confidence around how you earn a living and interact with the world around you.

You will also get out what you put in! This is an opportunity to up-level your life for the next chapter.

+  What kind of people participate in these trainings?

The program attracts people who are the threshold of a next chapter of their lives. Some people will be actively running businesses and endeavors they have been building for quite some time, but a new season is upon them and something else is demanded of them in their leadership and life.

Other people will be in a process of moving away from a certain kind of work or life and seeking to discover and align more deeply with something more meaningful in which to invest their energy.

People will come from all over in terms of location, race, and professional background. Part of the strength is in being in a space of honesty together and the diversity of backgrounds creates richness in helping you discover what is unique and powerful about you personally.
