About Inner Journeys
About Kurt
Ever since I was young I have retreated into nature as a place of
adventure, imagination and stillness. Whether I was camping, fishing or
just playing at a park, I have always felt a special bond with the
outdoors, like time was standing still.
That love of nature fostered a respect for all life and inspired me on
in college where I received degrees in biology and chemistry with the
intent on being of service to others. Upon graduation I felt the call
of the outdoors so I accepted an invite, sight unseen, to this place
called Sedona. I felt a sense of "home" as soon as I arrived here and
found a sense of connection to all life by placing myself on the Earth
- hiking, biking and backpacking. The more I was on the land, the
better I felt. I found it was possible for life to be simple yet
meaningful.
Over a period of time, it seemed as if a light went on inside of me,
pushing me to go within and discover what I love about myself and how I
can share that with others. During this time I met people and studied
backgrounds of different cultures - Incan, Mayan, Lakota, Hopi and
Navajo among others. These teachings shared all life as sacred,
connected and whole. These teachings became like a doorway from which I
could bridge physical exploration with spiritual exploration.
I became a local tour guide and I experienced and heard so many
powerful stories of the effect of Sedona and other natural places on a
daily basis that it left no doubt of the profound power that many
places hold for us, opening a door to possibilities in life much larger
than the limits of our minds.
About Mariposa
My name is Mariposa, which means,
�Butterfly� in Spanish. Like
my name, my life work reflects that of deep transformation and the
resulting freedom this brings. What I have learned during my own time
of awakening is that my greatest weakness, change, has become my
strongest ally. My role in healing is to hold the space for that
something greater, that something magical, to enter in and do its work
with those who seek it. I have also realized that we are each
responsible for our own healing, health, and happiness. In order to see
lasting results we must do the work! It is not always easy or pretty or
comfortable; sometimes it�s more frustrating and
challenging than we imagined. Yet, I can tell you from personal
experience, that the journey of Self-discovery is sweeter and more
rewarding than words can describe.
What I have come to understand during my journey is that
each one of us is powerful beyond belief and capable of creating the
life of our dreams. It is this simple truth I wish to help others
remember. All of us carry our own answers, our own truths, and our own
potential to heal and find wholeness. Healing is not always curative;
rather, it is a process of Self-realization, which requires courage,
commitment, patience, trust, and perseverance. This is a sacred journey
that is as unique and individual as the people it encounters. I believe
that spirituality and healing go hand-in-hand and thus base my life
work in this knowledge.
Over the course of a decade, I have become a Reiki
Master, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Master/Instructor of Integrated
Energy Therapy. I have acquired many other valuable tools to assist in
the process of transformation such as imagery work, soul retrieval,
karmic re-patterning, and guided meditation. As a channel healer, I
work very closely with the realm of Spirit and often receive messages,
guidance, and visions relevant to the work being done. I have many
friends and allies in the non-physical world, and connect with a
variety of energies such as nature spirits, angels, ascended masters,
and star people to assist in the healing process. The most important
connection, however, is to higher self who knows exactly what we are in
need of at any given moment, for that which will lead us to our
greatest good and highest healing.
The Two of Us
Together these experiences blended to become the vision
for Inner Journeys, a family owned business intent on sharing our
journey with others to help them integrate Earth based spirituality
within the context of the busy, modern life. We aim to give others
practical tools to help achieve a healthy life balance. We believe in
discovering our passion and sharing it with others as it may inspire
others to find their own passion. It is our desire to be of service to
other souls who find themselves on a similar path.
As we heal ourselves we will also heal our planet and
together, find a peace we have only dreamed of. By becoming aware of
the Energetic web of life, honoring our past and embracing our present
we can truly become stewards of the Earth and co-create a beautiful
future.
