Guided Dialogues that Bring Insight and Alignment to Your Life.

When therapy, coaching, or self-help haven’t brought the clarity you need, a deeper path awaits.


If traditional therapy, coaching, or self-help hasn't brought the clarity you're seeking, it's because they're not designed to address what may be actually calling—your soul asking to be seen and heard. Through philosophical guidance rooted in ancient methods of contemplative dialogue and present-moment relational practices, you will discover the power you have to reconnect with your deep, authentic self beneath the patterns, stories, and roles.

With simple guidance you will begin to awaken your own insights, and start aligning your life with the clarity that emerges when you reconnect with your soul’s voice and discover that you are the hero you’ve been waiting on.

  • If you feel like you don’t know who you really are anymore, find yourself questioning what you thought you wanted, or are frustrated that you are not living up to being the kind of person you want to be.

  • If work no longer feels connected to your soul. Maybe you are successful by external measures but lacking meaning and fulfillment, burned out but unable to stop pushing, afraid to pursue what you really want to do, or wanting something more from life.

  • If patterns of behavior keep affecting your life despite trying hard to change. Do you engage in self-sabotage right before breakthroughs, stay in relationships that don't serve you, or find yourself falling into the same conflicts or unhelpful patterns over and over again?

  • If a life or spiritual crisis has occurred leaving you confused and disoriented. Perhaps you have experienced an illness, the death of a close loved one, divorce, or have had psychedelic or mystical experiences that have shattered the way you used to see your self or the world.

  • If therapy, coaching, and self-help haven’t worked or aren’t a good fit for what you are going through. You are sensing something deeper is there to be discovered.

What Our Clients Say

"In my sessions with Alistair, I feel both accepted as I am and encouraged to become the most fully realized version of myself that he's mirroring back to me. I’m able to show up more fully for myself and loved ones now. He tailors his approach to my unique quirks so the insights that emerge are self-discovered. You are in skilled hands if you work with him.” - HW

His reverence for the power and sacredness of dialogue to transform spirit is contagious! He gracefully pulls on the meaningful threads and orients to the intelligence of the moment with open questions, reflections and challenging provocations.

A Proven Guide
for Your Journey

Alistair has walked the path you're considering. During his fourteen years as a successful trial attorney fighting for civil and human rights, and building several businesses, life delivered a series of profound challenges that forced him to confront fundamental questions about meaning, authentic living, healthy relationships, and alignment in life. Through navigating loss, health crises, professional success and failures, and his own patterns of disconnection in his relationships, he discovered the transformative power of the practices that now guide his work.

As an APPA-certified philosophical counselor and professional facilitator in several relational practices, Alistair brings together legal training in truth-seeking, entrepreneurial experience, and deep practical and professional expertise in contemplative and relational practices. But his real qualification is this: every practice he guides you through, he also does.

When you work with Alistair, you're not getting advice, academic theory, psychological analysis, or coaching. You're getting a guide who understands what engaging in this process takes and the practical steps that make it sustainable. Someone who's learned that clarity comes not from having all the answers, but from asking the questions that matter, and then living into them.

Your journey toward alignment deserves a guide who travels the road himself and can help you navigate it with care, compassion, and practical skills.
