I am passionate about helping people thrive and overcome difficulty. I’m also insatiably curious and creative about what that looks like which leads to a variety of endeavors. Due to the world we live in I can’t do all the things that I would like to which means that what you will discover on this website is a selection of what I think is most important to share with others about what I do in the world.

I facilitate a process of assisted self-discovery with adults and youth one-on-one and in small groups. The work, which draws on my training in Hakomi Somatic Psychotherapy and Mindfulness, can both help you resolve deep emotional hurts and develop your unique gifts in the world.
I have prioritized meditation in my life in a significant way and feel grateful to offer it to others so more can benefit. I teach weekly classes seasonally and lead retreats locally in Waldo County in addition to traveling to teach when invited.
Rites of Passage
I support people living into the stage of life that they are in and help them fully cross into that stage through meaningful experiences and education.
Group Dynamics
I facilitate and consult to groups creating learning opportunities about meaning that lies below the surface. This work improves the workplace environment and their functioning as well as giving us all better tools to live fulfilling and productive lives. I study, train in, and facilitate the Group Relations framework for group work.
Youth Retreats
I work with youth serving organizations to lead enlivening and dynamic retreat experiences. Helping youth learn about who they are inside and develop tools for becoming that person on the outside is a true passion. I want young people to have skills to overcome the inevitable challenges in life and thrive.
Rustic Modern Construction
From felling trees and milling them into lumber to system design and construction I build modest highly energy efficient homes from scratch.
I have taught mindfulness to over 11,000 children and teens since 2008 in schools, after school programs, and camps. I also offer professional development sessions. You can read more here: http://mindfulnesswithgabriel.com/
Coming soon: Biodanza
I’ve been training in this dance form for over 5 years and am nearly done with my training and will be facilitating dances soon!
