Work With Me | Lucid Longing Intensive and Lucid Longing Immersion with Maya Frost
I work individually with those who can no longer pretend that we are not facing a time of colliding crises and existential shifts unprecedented in our lifetimes.
I have served as a trusted companion for hundreds of individuals through their most profound transitions.
Those who lost loved ones during the pandemic.
Those who lost homes due to fires, hurricanes, floods, or other climate-related disasters.
Those who have lost jobs or funding due to political changes.
Those who have lost their trust in the instituations they had always expected to protect them.
When they no longer believed that old models could address our escalating challenges, they turned to this process to transform their distrust, disillusionment, and disengagment into meaning, fulfillment, and collaboration.
WHY THE COMPANIONING EXPERIENCE IS SO EFFECTIVE IN THIS TIME OF UNRAVELING
This is not a time to stay in our separate corners.
This moment is calling us to combine our knowledge and collaborate in order to create new ways to address these unique challenges.
Lucid Longing is a synthesis of valued lessons from a range of fields adjacent to the study of how we learn and adapt.
By understanding the latest research in behavioral science, contemplative practices, ecological psychology, and the specific discoveries related to attention, longing, and imagination, we can remove the barriers that make it so hard to feel we can do anything meaningful now.
MARIGOLDS AS INSPIRATION: COMPANIONING AS PROTECTIVE PRESENCE
Marigolds have been special to me since planting my first seeds at age four. My grandmother taught me that marigolds are ¨friends that protect other plants just by being there.¨
Companioning (the presencing process I use with clients) offers a space for compassionate witnessing and honest reflection about your emotions and thoughts. It invites you to explore your past, present, and future longings, ultimately restoring your sense of agency through the transformative power of Lucid Longing.
WHY PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING LUCID LONGING COMPANIONING OVER THERAPY OR COACHING
Coaching and therapy were not created to deal with ongoing reality-triggered grief and anger or our escalating anxiety about the future.
Weekly and biweekly sessions were never intended to effectively address our growing sense of unease fueled by hourly updates about relentless change. Our underlying despair becomes something we carry with us so regularly that we lose sight of its weight and impact.
Lucid Longing, through the presencing care of companioning, offers a way to see and understand more fully through shared dialogue and witnessing in a daily or every-other-day rhythm.
And similar to how Internal Family Systems shifts our relationship to the events in our past, Lucid Longing brings clarity and agency to how we create our present and shape our future.
My work is specifically designed and tested for this moment, these struggles, and our human desire to understand, adapt, and thrive together.
TWO WAYS TO WORK WITH ME
The 7-Day Lucid Longing Intensive
See what´s here. Find the thread. Make possibilities visible and alive.
A full week of daily inquiry, prompts, and reflections that turn disillusionment into meaning and engage in tiny experiments to reveal possibilities and build a supportive feedback look.
We interact daily for 30 consecutive days.
This is both live on video and asynchronous, via text, voice notes, and video messages, giving you time to consider each question or prompt before responding.
Unlike focusing on live video or real-time conversations only, this space before responding allows time for deep reflection and insights. We continue in an easy flow that builds momentum naturally.
