Inner Compass

Self-Mastery Coaching

What does it mean to Live your life in flow? And what does it take to arrive into that place of Being? Not just a temporary space of coherence as an athlete who might drops into the “zone,” but a state of enduring freedom, rapt presence and dynamic creativity that becomes the dominant lens in which you experience your life and this world. In other words, what would it mean to live untethered by the limitations of your conditioned mind, experiencing life as the greatest and highest expression of your authentic nature.

Inner Compass coaching is a journey of true self-actualization. A twelve phase structured path, designed to reconnect you with your essential Being, your innate avatar state that is boundless in both potential and impact. Over the course of 24 coaching sessions and a series of vision quest journeys, we will build a powerful new foundation (Referred to as your Client Internal Operating System) based in extraordinary self-care, clear personal boundaries & standards, honest healing and integration processes, and a dedication to mindfulness practices that supports daily renewal and growth. With the ground work set, together we will then clarify and invigorate the “North Star” of your soul path. Through identifying and anchoring in your core values that define your personal vision and mission, we will support your genuine needs determining with unshakable clarity that which you want to create in your life. Then finally, we will fortify a lifestyle that optimizes your state of awareness into that of continual psycho-spiritual flow. Creating a wealth of both inner and outer resources, while supporting a devotional inner process of personal vigilance, nurturance and alignment every step of the way. The result, arrival into a sense of lasting presence that emanates vitality, resilience, and perpetual freedom.

This path is not a bypass. It is one dedicated to a continual process of rigorous healing, personal discovery and honest inner-attunement. To actualize the inner light of your essential nature, you must be willing to face the shadow, the neurotic patterning born of trauma, wounds and conditioning that often influences our lives in self-sabotaging ways. Inner Compass Coaching is about inviting you into a lifestyle that is devoted to honest self-reflection and impeccable effort. It is about embracing the path of becoming a compassionate warrior of your inner landscape. Moment by moment, Day by day, together we will build up your impeccable resolve to polish the inner jewel of your true being. As in the end, this journey isn’t about achieving goals alone, it’s about embodying a lifestyle that is devoted to a process of continual refinement, evolution and self-mastery that lasts long after our work together is complete.

My journey alongside Ehren has been an utterly transformative and profoundly rewarding experience. It’s hard to put into words just how much he has touched my life. Ehren possesses a unique gift … he can provide the guidance and structure needed to navigate the darkest of times, yet he also has the wisdom to allow room for personal growth and discovery. His unwavering dedication to his students is nothing short of inspiring. The knowledge that you’re never alone on this journey is a feeling that defies description, and the connections formed along the way are eternal.

Inner Compass Coaching Includes:

To put it simply, Ehren’s program increased the overall quality of my life. I feel more connected to my true self/spirit and more aligned with my purpose than any time I can remember. Ehren’s passion and tender care throughout the experience allowed me to have complete trust in his process. I’ve had life coaches before but none brought that kind of authentic heart-based action to the relationship.  Over the last 20 years, I have tried numerous programs, methodologies, and practices that fall into the “self-growth” category. Ehren’s SpArc Rite’s of passage Program accomplished more in the short 4 months than anything else I’ve tried. (It’s worth noting that many of these past experiences helped prepare me for the work I did with Ehren.)

Our Core Agreements

Before considering where you’re headed on this journey of self-discovery & growth, its essential that you’re grounded in clear code of virtue to emerge in accountability.  The Four Agreements is a seminal text written by the Toltec elder Don Miguel Ruiz, that highlights simple yet powerful foundational life principles to live by.  These agreements although humble in scope, can be profoundly difficult to honor given the myriad of cultural and social agreements most of us have been saturated with since birth.  As part of our evolutionary journey together, we will adhere to these core principles to the very best of our ability (Agreement four!) to ensure we are operating from a place of shared values with integrity and care…

 

The SpArc Healing & Growth Philosophy

Although coaching unlike therapy is focused on the road ahead, healing is a critical element to every path of growth.  In Western society, often we are taught at a young age there are two main channels of coping with our emotions.  Expression and Repression.  Expression refers to the active release of emotions in a shared experience. This often takes place in a period of duress and turmoil in a highly charged fashion.  Common negative emotions such as grief, fear, anger, pride, guilt and pride may find their way into a highly opinionated vocal exchange fueled by judgement, self-righteousness and agenda.  Repression on the other hand, is the bottling up of our emotions often for fear of facing the gravity and intensity of their expression.  Repression can lead to numerous psycho-somatic injuries, dis-ease, anxiety and other highly disruptive mental health challenges brought on by shame, guilt, resentment and fear.  Repression also often leads to a feeling of overwhelm that may ultimately result in a reactive eruption of expressed emotion.  Both of these strategies are both deeply attuned to the sympathetic nervous system (Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn) and although may offer short term relief, often lead to chronic stress and long term mental health concerns…

There is however a third way for working through intense emotions and that is the path of surrender.  In the West, we often refer to surrender as the relinquishing of one’s power to the mercy of a stronger dominant force.  Yet in the East, as well as mystic traditions and holistic spiritual psychotherapy practices, the path of surrender is relinquishing the Egoic self to the internal mastery of the true Soul-oriented self. One’s essential unified nature.  The Path of letting go is a technique popularized in by the late great Dr. David Hawkins;  and is also championed in a slightly different orientation in the masterful five decade long practice of Dr. Chip Baggett.  It works upon the principle of diffusing powerful negative E-Motions (Energy in Motion) by fully embracing the feeling without creating an attachment to the internal narratives.  Pain is perceived as a signal sent toward the psyche bringing an awareness to a misalignment with one’s core nature.  By loving and accepting the pain in the heart as opposed to expressing, repressing or resisting it, it allows that E-motion to run its course diffusing that energy and allowing for a new soul perspective to take shape.  Its time to put down the story and the small payoffs of the Ego to allow the body to process wounds of the heart through radical acceptance, allowance, humble honoring, and Letting Go.  This is the primary technique utilized by the SpArc to support the transcending from negative entrenched emotions, which align with lower frequency consciousness levels to support a sustainable emergence into higher sovereign and empowered ways of being.

Our Creative Approach

Creativity is not just for artists. Creativity is a way of engaging with the world.  We are not reactors, nor are we responders, we are born creators.  When we approach challenge, it is not in our innate nature to “Fix” the situation. The idea of fixing within a set framework of possibilities and protocols is a highly learned behavior.  Not every trial, person or project we encounter in life is a puzzle in need of a clever solution.  Creativity sees the road ahead as an unfolding series of wondrous learning opportunities. One where challenge and triumph, winners and losers, is replaced by tension spaces that provide opportunities to create.  The Creative Orientation by Robert Fritz and the Creative Act by Rick Rubin forms the basis for how the SpArc engages with radical creativity as a tool for self-actualization.  It’s time to stop operating within the limitations of a world that perceives problems in need of fixing with precise measurements right angles, hammers and nails.  Its time to embrace the world as a blossoming landscape of innumerable opportunities to approach with paint brushes and an open pallet, using our creative genius to activate our vast visionary potential toward the evolutionary benefit of ourselves, our communities and the world.

Ehren is a fantastic listener and genuinely cares about your self betterment. He is invested in your overall growth as a person and wants the very best for you. You can feel it and hear it in his voice.  I felt so comfortable expressing my fears and negative traits to him. He helps create spaces with zero judgement and 100% compassion which allows for one to feel this comfort. Ehren contemplates your unique situation and becomes a heart-driven force to aid in your evolution. His sincerity shines brightly in his ability to provide creative techniques for self actualization and the removal of negative habits. Ehren has an uncanny ability to bring out aspects of yourself that need to see the light. I believe his inherent goodness as an individual helps in this process. He is a core motivator of the soul and I would highly recommend him as a coach that can bring out the very best in you.”
