The Domino
A 12-week private
Proof of Life® Intensive
Your life may be full of things you genuinely chose:
children you desperately love, a partner you chose, work you care about, a home you wanted, friends you adore.
And still, you can find yourself wondering why you're not experiencing more of the life you've worked so hard to create.
I don't think that's necessarily a gratitude problem, a purpose problem, or evidence that you've built the wrong life.
I'm interested in a different possibility:
if nearly all of your life force is pre-assigned to maintaining the infrastructure of your life, where exactly is… meaning supposed to happen?
We talk about meaning as though it's something else we're supposed to manufacture: Find your purpose. Take the trip. Start a hobby. Journal about gratitude.
But I'm increasingly convinced that meaning requires participation. You can have a life filled with meaningful things while having very little of yourself available to experience their meaning.
This is the territory of Proof of Life®
I want to know: Where is your qi going? Is it circulating? Who gets the benefit of your capacity? And who gets the experience of your life?
What is The Domino?
The Domino is my private, individualized process for making the organization of your life force more perceptible.
For more than thirteen years as an acupuncturist, I've worked by looking for patterns: what's moving, what's stuck, what's working too hard, what's unsupported, what conditions are maintaining the current organization, and what sufficiently precise input might allow something to organize differently.
The Domino brings that way of seeing into the rest of your life.
This isn't about diagnosing your personality or deciding that everything difficult is secretly trauma. I'm not interested in convincing you to blow up a life you may actually love. We're going to pay attention to what your capacity is doing, what keeps recruiting it, what those expenditures make possible, where there's genuine exchange, and where you may be participating in patterns that no longer give you enough range.
Then we'll look for the Domino: the smallest sufficiently precise place where a different organization might become possible.
We make a hypothesis. We introduce an experiment. We predict what might move downstream. And then, instead of declaring ourselves geniuses, we watch what actually happens, like the real scientists we are, in this Proof of Life laboratory.
The 12-week beta
We'll work together privately for twelve weeks, with six 1:1 sessions and individualized Proof of Life fieldwork between sessions. There is no cohort or fixed start date; your twelve weeks begin when you do.
The fieldwork matters because your actual life is where the methodology gets tested.
Between sessions, you'll send me brief observations of what's happening (not homework essays or daily journaling) and I'll help you know what to pay attention to next. Our work will move through perception, differentiation, experimentation, observation and revision until your existing, rote pattern is no longer necessarily your only available route.
I'm opening this first beta to five active clients.
The methodology has grown from more than a decade of my clinical work; this particular 12-week application is new, and I'm deliberately keeping it small so I can pay close attention to what happens.
Founding beta: $1,800. Payment plans available.
Nothing may be wrong with it, or maybe you know things need to change. The idea is: you don’t need to know what’s wrong, with your life. You may simply be ready to participate more fully in deciding what your extraordinary capacity is for.
The Domino is an educational/coaching process and is not psychotherapy, medical care, or a substitute for individualized healthcare.
