Transformation through Maturation

Become the Parent of Beautiful New Patterns

Your Rigid Inner Critic is just your Earth trying to protect you.Your Merging Pattern (the part of you without boundaries) is simply your Water nature doing what Water does.

I want to invite you to become the loving parent to your elemental nature (your four inner children, your four little animals, your four medicines).

Understand your nature.Love your nature.rePARENT and rePATTERN your nature.

Then you can Flourish.Then you can give abundantly from the core of your being.

Mariela Pérez-Simons, MFA, MDiv

This is not coaching or ministry in the western sense.

This is a nature-based animistic approach to psycho-spiritual healing, liberation, and reality creation (manifestation).

YOUR FOUR GIFTS FROM NATURE

Four corked glass bottles standing in a row: deep green, deep blue, shimmering gold, and pale aqua

Mother Nature invested in you.
You didn't come here empty-handed.
She endowed you with four main energies for your reality creation.
We can see them as elements, as medicines, as inner resources you can tap into, as animals, as gods, as dragons, or even as suits (as the tarot does)...

Your job is to become their loving parent, because the social conditions we've grown up in have not supported their growth. Instead of maturing, these elements' evolution was halted. Think: Arrested Development... in a way.

An open wooden chest resting on a sunny beach with the turquoise ocean behind it; inside rest four sparkling spheres — green, blue, pale mint and red-gold — and four tarot cards are mounted across the lid: Ace of Pentacles, Ace of Cups, Ace of Wands, Ace of Swords
In the language of the tarot, the hand of Mother Nature gives you these: Ace of Pentacles · Ace of Cups · Ace of Wands · Ace of Swords

Nature wants you to FLOURISH & THRIVE, but first, you must tend to these four elements within you.
Are any of them living in FEAR?  Are any of them terrified?

  • When Earth is terrified,the physical body freezes(rigid, stiff, armoring)

  • When Water is terrified,the emotions flood or merge without boundaries(fawning, leaking)

  • When Fire is terrified,the vital lifeforce attacks or hyper-drives(fighting, manic hustling)

  • When Air is terrified,the conscious mind dissociates and takes flight into abstraction(leaving the body)

Do you recognize any of these patterns?

  • THE RIGID INNER CRITICImmature Earth | The Freeze
  • THE MERGING PATTERNImmature Water | The Fawn (no boundaries)
  • THE AGGRESSIVE HUSTLERImmature Fire | The Fight
  • THE LEAVINGImmature Air | The Flight

These immature patterns are not "bad."
We do not have to shame them.
Again, they are simply parts of our nature that have not been given the right conditions to mature.
But they could be keeping you from thriving.
They could be keeping you from your purpose.
And, because these are energetic patterns, they could be keeping you from your natural  vitality and ALIVENESS.

Transformation through Maturation is what we do.And it’s beautiful beautiful work that ends in laughter.

Yes, each of my clients laughs and laughs once they start seeing the patterns and not being ashamed of them.

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT PATTERNS

The Universe is made of patterns; wheels upon wheels.

And human beings are no different.

We become what we repeat.

A hand-colored engraving of a pilgrim kneeling at the edge of the starry firmament and pushing his head through it, discovering the turning wheels, rainbow clouds and suns of the cosmos beyond, while a tree, a lake and a smiling Sun fill the world behind him

That’s what my work is all about, as a Capricorn. I support you in changing the patterns that shape your life.

For the last six years, I’ve worked with dozens of individuals 1:1, helping them understand these patterns in their psyche, their soma/body, and their energy.

People spend years trying to “heal” themselves, but we’ve found that it’s not until they change these repeating patterns (of thinking, of behaving, and of holding energy in the body) that true change (transformation) becomes possible.

It’s truly TRANSFORMATIONAL.
It’s a reshaping of every area of your life.

Spiritually, psychologically, somatically, energetically.

MY CREDENTIALS FOR THIS WORK:

PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS

I was trained as a naturalist minister and a non-denominational chaplain before my midlife crisis/clarity and the spiritual/energetic awakening that took place after that.  During my Master of Divinity training I learned about the divine from all cultural traditions (hinduism, taoism, buddhism, judaism, animism, christianity...) And my Chaplaincy Training taught me to listen deeply to the human soul. I consider myself an embodied animist.

Somatic Credentials

I spent a year learning about the somatic patterns the body holds at the Somatic Wisdom Institute, and then I learned about nervous system and other somatic modalities with various other teachers and institutions. It's been a deep six year journey.

Quantum Energetics

I’ve also spent 15 years studying the cosmic energetic patterns of the universe through astrology, Human Design, and the Gene Keys.

Every pattern has three aspects: 

The Gene Keys call them: shadow, gift, siddhi.

I SEE THEM AS THREE BEINGS IN THE HOME THAT IS THE BODY:

  1. shadow

    The Inner Child

    developing patterns of the psyche

    our animal nature

    Seed

  2. gift

    The Mature Adult

    mature consciousness

    our human nature

    Tree

  3. siddhi

    The Divine Parent

    the archetypal possibilities of those patterns in their highest expression

    our divine nature

    Fruit

This is the work of Sacred Maturity I invite you into.

This is the developmental philosophy I’ve developed over the past six years working with people in my community. It begins with the four elements, then we move to the 12 Zodiac Signs, and finally we enter the 64 Gates of Human Design and The Gene Keys.

It all depends on where people are on their journey of understanding themselves and maturing their nature.

THE TRANSFORMATION THIS WORK PROVIDES

Transformation through maturation is a repeated, embodied practice of forming a more beautiful relationship with the forces of one’s own nature.

The loving conscious parenting of our energies in their elemental form.

Our sacred work is to become the loving parents to these patterns.

rePARENT and rePATTERN.

This is transformation through maturation.

This is how we become conscious participants in creation.

This is how we bring the gods in our nature up the mountain.

This is how we become parents of beautiful new patterns.
