Make Friends With Your Mind

Gestalt/IFS Coaching | Psychedelic Integration | Meditation

The Ten Oxherding Pictures are a series of Zen Buddhist illustrations and poems that depict the stages of spiritual practice on the path to enlightenment.

The ox symbolizes the mind or true nature, and the herder represents the practitioner striving for awakening. Each picture illustrates a specific stage of the journey, from searching for the ox to ultimately becoming one with it.

Why Ten Ox?

At the core, my own healing path has always been about liberation.

As a coach and facilitator, my aim is to be of service to those wishing to go deeper on their spiritual path

Whether you are just beginning your journey, or are a seasoned inner work warrior - I love doing this work and look forward to sharing these tools and techniques that have unlocked so many doors inside me.

With Gratitude,

  • “My relationship with myself has changed from harsh and critical, to loving and supportive - something I didn’t even know was possible. "

    P.C., Client

  • “Working with Joseph helped me break through some pent up emotion I had been holding for a long time. I walked in with confusion & frustration - I walked out with surprising relief”

    A.B. , Gestalt/ IFS Client

  • “Joseph has an incredible ability to listen deeply and hold space for the experiencing of emotions."

    M.D., Client

  • “Joe recognizes that the body, emotions, the mind and the spirit are all intertwined and his approach integrates working with all of these.”

  • Gestalt, which means ”to make whole,” works with the feeling system and the subconscious to get to your core energies, which are often buried underneath layers of accumulated mental armor. It can be a playful and highly creative approach, which often appeals to those who have found traditional talk therapy to be dry or intellectual.

  • Internal Family Systems is a powerful healing modality that can lead to profound shifts. The IFS framework, similar to the Gestalt model, stems from the idea that we all are made up of multiple parts - and that through the process of witnessing and understanding these fragmented parts we can bring them into wholeness and harmony.

  • Psychedelics can be powerful teachers for us - but without proper integration, these teachings can get lost or misinterpreted.

    During integration sessions, I will help you to land and anchor the wisdom of the psychedelic journey, and help you establish daily routines - grounding and mindfulness techniques - that can help you start to embody the teachings of the medicine.

  • Meditation, the cultivation of inner awareness, is the central thread running through everything I teach. Training your attention - a little at a time - until it is woven into all aspects of daily life. This approach to meditation is not just about carving 10 minutes of peacefulness into a hectic life, but about living from a place of awareness. It’s a total game-changer.
