Connecting with me.
Spiritual awakening and breakdown can be intense.
My practice is open, and you are welcome to contact me for details of my one to one sessions.
I know how it is to be in the midst of the dark night, and how isolating it can be. In addition to the book and the podcast, I offer one to one sessions, monthly dark night gatherings which are open to everyone, resources for therapists and counsellors, and occasional writings.
One to one sessions
Starting exactly where you are, we explore gently, slowly and respectfully. Giving space for whatever emerges, we listen and feel, becoming present to your interior landscape and the thoughts, feelings, memories and sensations it contains. Following the thread of whatever is moving or emerging, we continue to journey until the process comes to a natural conclusion.
Sessions are via Zoom and last up to an hour and a half or so. It’s always good to allow yourself at least ninety minutes so that you have some time for reflection and integration. If you’d like to record your session, just let me know in advance.
I positively welcome people from all ethnic and religious backgrounds, as well as being LGBTQIA+ friendly.
I’m also happy to talk with you if you’d like to know more before you decide to book a session. You are welcome to contact me for more details.
Monthly dark night gatherings
During our online gatherings, we spend time communing, sharing and supporting each other, wherever we are in our individual dark night journeys. In this safe and sacred space, all that we feel and express is honoured. Everyone’s individual experiences, thoughts, insights and wisdom are fully acknowledged. You are welcome to come and be exactly as you are. The gatherings are held on Zoom, last an hour and a half, and are free to attend. Contact me for more details.
For therapists, counsellors, and spiritual directors
I offer a reflective space to professionals and others who are working with people in spiritual crisis. If you’d like to meet, please contact me for further details.
I also offer a four-part workshop series entitled Understanding Spiritual Emergencies via Onlinevents. Recordings of previous workshops and events are available here.

What Have We Not Been Saying? Exploring Our Voices in Insane times: A Gathering in Three Parts
In the whirlwind of insanity that we are currently in, it can be difficult to connect with ourselves and our own unique voices. There are so many pulls in different directions – to speak up, to hide beneath the parapet, to withdraw from all of it, to rage from the rooftops – all of them totally natural.
There are also many ways in which we’ve been conditioned around our speech, depending on who we are and where we’re from. Layers of inhibition can come between us and our words, preventing what is inside us from being expressed. We may also have trauma around our speaking up, especially for ourselves and what is true for us.
In this three-part Zoom gathering, we will explore what we haven’t been saying, and the reasons why we’ve not been saying it. We’ll experiment – in a purposefully co-created space– with how it feels to finally voice what has not been voiced before, and listen to what wants to emerge.
We’ll use writing prompts as catalysts, and discover what comes from the alchemy of being together in this container.
Li and Fiona have spent many years writing in a variety of different contexts, exploring their own relationships with expression, inhibition, and creativity, and co-creating spaces for others to do the same.
Here’s a testimonial from a participant of a past writing group, which focused on awe and wonder:
The community that Li and Fiona created was very supportive, allowing the group to dive deep right away. I loved being able to share the experience with participants who live all over the world. And I was happy to discover that awe and wonder are available the minute you begin looking for them! The class exercises helped us keep that focus alive between sessions. I highly recommend working with Fiona and Li!

About Us
Li and Fiona have facilitated a variety of somatic embodiment circles together over the last ten years.
Fiona is the author of The Dark Night of the Soul: A Journey from Absence to Presence and Eve Was a Realist: Poems for the Untamed Heart. Her writing invokes the complexities and pains of flesh-and-blood living, while also celebrating moments of awe, revelation, and emergence. She invites us into the depths, where paradox abounds and nothing is quite what it seems on the surface. Fiona also supports people – many of whom are going through a dark night or spiritual emergency – to reconnect with and deepen into their real selves. https://www.thedarknightofthesoul.com
Li is a full-time student of being fully human and is deeply passionate about connecting and inter-relating, as we play and navigate with creation in empowering ways. In Li’s work as a somatic therapist and a creative writing facilitator, Li utilizes transformational and wisdom-based practices in supporting people with their somatic intelligence/energies. In learning how to embody our creativity, we are able to consciously choose to move into, discover and remember the realms of interdependency and liberation for all. www.integrativehealingnow.com

“Trusting ourselves necessitates questioning and often rejecting what we have been taught. Our relationship to spirituality or religion is likely to undergo a profound change during this time. I can no longer partake of that which does not speak to my inner experience and knowing. Any teaching that prefers positive to negative, light to dark, or the transcendent to the prosaic now feels like a violation.”
Chapter Eight, Beginning to Trust, page 132
“Thank you, Fiona, for your gentle and generous guidance into the world of mystery. You have such a gift! Your presence calms me. Inspires me.”
