Heart Mentoring
The Way of the Heart
“A mentor is someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.” – Paulo Coelho
Mentoring Sessions
Together we will work with a Medicine Wheel, Zen Buddhist Wisdom, modern myths and dreams, the 4 Agreements and the Protocols of Council to offer you holistic, practical remedies to support the totality of your being. Putting into practice these life changing remedies are akin to a chiropractic session seemingly performed ‘outside’ yourself. The psychic, physical, mental and emotional attunements becomes everlasting, self-empowering tools to craft a life of authenticity in a rapidly changing world.

Grounded EARTH Module
Way of the Heart
26 June - 10 August 2025
Never before has "Knowing Thyself" been so vitally important. During the Grounded EARTH Module (the third Elemental Gateway in the BEZA Medicine Wheel), we learn practical and spiritual skills to reconnect with Mother Earth - and consequently our True Self.
Zen Master Daido Loori Roshi once said, "To be born as the earth is not the same as being born. It is to realize that these mountains and rivers and the whole earth itself is our true human body." This will be the theme of this Module. Gatekeeper Training in the Earth Element is an initiation into Self. We have all been on a long and winding journey, ultimately searching for ourselves. This is the journey homeward - the Great Return: a Homecoming.
During this Module we learn how to remain centred during these extraordinary times of revolutionary change and powerful transformation. Anchor into the abundance available within your grounded, present self. Become open and available (no matter the situation) with an ever expanding heart while the truer you emerges. Reclaim your sovereign uniqueness as you learn to embody your inherent enlightenment. Study how abundance and karma are related and how to orient yourself at the various stages and cycles of growth. Embrace your healing power as you open to Mother Earth's Love. Celebrate the diversity of all dualities and manifestations as you connect to the unifying, common ground of community, home, identity, and otherness.
Mentoring
Through a combination of aligned questioning, active listening, and tailored guidance, Heart Mentoring empowers individuals to gain clarity, tap into their strengths, and navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. It is an holistic journey that enables individuals to unleash their true potential and live a life of purpose, passion, and fulfilment with a renewed capacity to remain grounded and centered even amidst turbulent times.
Mentoring with Nangaku was auspicious and cathartic. His capacity for grasping human nature and ability to help me reach into the deep cervices of my soul with love and compassion has had a profound impact on me. The perspectives gained and birthed from myself by his gentle hand has (and continues to) transformed the manner in which I walk in the world(s). As far as healing associations are concerned, I unreservedly recommend this beautiful human.
Benefits of Mentoring
Support your growth
Mentors encourage and enable another person’s professional or personal development. A mentor can help focus your efforts by setting goals and giving positive feedback in alignment with your authenticity.
A source of wisdom
Mentors can provide specific insights and information that enable the mentee’s success, offering instructions on how to perform particular tasks or develop useful skills.
Help you align
A mentor can help their mentee set personal or professional alignments to your intrinsic purpose. This can help focus your efforts and make it easier for you to track and assess progress.
Maintain accountability
A mentor helps hold their mentee accountable for their goals. By tracking progress, the mentor helps the mentee stay focused and on track, ensuring the mentee does not forget about their aligned purpose.
Offering encouragement
When the mentee finds themselves struggling to align with their truth, they can turn to their mentor for support. Encouragement can motivate them to keep moving forward despite challenges. A mentor can also identify and express their mentee’s strengths to instill confidence in them. Having a strong sense of confidence can make the mentee less likely to give up on themselves.
Willing to listen
When an individual feels inspired they can use their mentor as a resource to listen deeply to them. A mentor can provide unbiased advice, wisdom and experience. With these insights, the mentee can better understand what steps to take to make their inspiration a reality.
A trusted ally
Trust represents a core element of mentoring relationships. The mentee must trust that the mentor has their best interests in mind and will provide accurate and honest guidance. Communicating regularly and following through on their promises demonstrate two methods of establishing trust in these relationships.
Constructive feedback
A trusting mentorship relationship enables honest feedback. By establishing trust, the mentee understands that constructive criticism aims to build their professional growth rather than make them feel bad. Mentors can identify vulnerabilities and advise them on pathways to self-empowerment.
Providing guidelines
A mentor can help set guidelines for their authentic expression in the world. For example, they may clarify the priorities in the role of relational behaviour. These guidelines can help the mentee establish appropriate course correctors that enable them to focus on their values.
Relevant experience
When possible, individuals should choose mentors who have the relevant experience, core values and life purpose. When mentors convey their successes, the mentee can use them as an example to strive toward and copy the steps they took. Mentors can also share the mistakes they made along their journeys. The mentee benefits because they learn lessons about the mistakes’ negative impacts but do not have to suffer the consequences themselves. Learning about these experiences can also help prepare the mentee for the challenges they can expect to face and provide demonstrable advice on how to overcome them.
