Light Quest Counseling has moved to a secure platform: ZOOM, in order to reach current clients and people feeling stress in response to the impact of COVID 19. My hope is to reach front line health care providers (Thank you for ALL you are doing!) in Colorado and Utah. I continue to work as a psychotherapist, parent coach, and yoga therapist. Sending well wishes to everyone as we navigate this together.

Inspired by co-facilitating the Wilderness Intensive for Naropa's Wilderness Therapy class of 2018. What an amazing and kind group of eager learners and stewards of the natural environment.

Successful Strong and Mindful Family expedition on the Green River - Breakwater Expeditions. Gratitude for the way the Green River slows us down and connects us with our natural rhythm and flow.

The Strong and Mindful Family Program at Breakwater Expeditions brought a young man out on a sea kayaking adventure over the last five days. It was an amazing trip teaming with Becky Johnson (American Sign Language interpreter) and Todd McKibben (Guide/Director/Owner). We (and the wilderness) supported this young man to move towards greater independence and grow his awareness of his own abilities. The wilderness is so practical and so inspiring for this type of expedition.

Teaming up with Breakwater Expeditions and ASL interpreter, Becky Johnson, for our next wild work adventure. We will be sea kayaking in the San Juan Islands. It is wonderful to see the Strong and Mindful Family Program develop. This work enlivens my soul. "There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground." - Rumi

“The expedition was beautiful and exciting without being overly dangerous. Everyone was able to push themselves and also relax.”

Our most recent family trip teaming with Breakwater Expeditions down the Green River was a success! Rain brought waterfalls streaming off the canyon walls. The sun did peak through, bringing us joy!

Morning Poem
by Mary Oliver

Every morning
the world
is created.
Under the orange
sticks of the sun
the heaped
ashes of the night
turn into leaves again
and fasten themselves to the high branches—
and the ponds appear
like black cloth
on which are painted islands
of summer lilies.
If it is your nature
to be happy
you will swim away along the soft trails
for hours, your imagination
alighting everywhere.
And if your spirit
carries within it
the thorn
that is heavier than lead—
if it's all you can do
to keep on trudging—
there is still
somewhere deep within you
a beast shouting that the earth
is exactly what it wanted—
each pond with its blazing lilies
is a prayer heard and answered
lavishly,
every morning,
whether or not
you have ever dared to be happy,
whether or not
you have ever dared to pray.

Mission: Light Quest Counseling (LQC) supports and celebrates the growth of strong and mindful individuals, couples, and families through the art of relationship, adventure, and counseling. Similar to a plant in its natural movement towards light, LQC believes that each person moves towards wellness naturally and supports them in doing so by helping them identify and remove obstacles that inhibit growth. We celebrate the remembering of one's true nature.
