Coaching

The YourTurn Approach is broad, with many ways to engage in meditative living. Meditative living is focused on who you are when you do what you do. Our approach develops individuals from wherever they are today to “self-authorship.” Self-authorship is where you know yourself so completely that you live in complete integrity with yourself. This profound empowerment enables you to live your life to the fullest.

We also support people in achieving self-transcendence, which is the process of overcoming the limitations of self-oriented living.

What we have on the website may already seem like a lot, and it’s growing constantly. Dan continuously identifies new tools and methods to teach the tools each person needs for their unique situation.

If you have questions like:

  1. Where do I start?
  2. What do I do now?
  3. Is the XYZ program or training right for me?
  4. How do I make the most of my membership?

Please schedule a 15-minute free call with Dan to receive direct support on your path.

There are two ways to work with Dan. You can meet with him as needed for coaching or engage as a dedicated practitioner of Meditative Living.

1) Schedule an as-needed coaching call to discuss a specific issue or topic that has arisen in your practice. Anyone can schedule an in-depth call (60 minutes, $125) or check-in (30 minutes, $60) with Dan. In-depth calls may be the right choice if we’re just getting started together or if we are in a phase of deep work in your practice. Check-in calls may be needed if your practice is established, and we need to keep the momentum strong.

Dan’s approach is to identify the core objective and organically cultivate the tools required to achieve it. The tools available come from a wide variety of ancient and modern, secular and spiritual perspectives, including:

  • Zen, other forms of Buddhism. (Hollow Bones Zen Order, extensive personal research)
  • Yoga (spiritual & philosophical, not physical) (Hollow Bones Zen Order, Self-Realization Fellowship, extensive personal research)
  • Spiritual Alchemy (Hermetism, Western Mysteries) (Freemasonry, A.M.O.R.C., Tarosophy Tarot Association, extensive personal research)
  • Daoism (extensive personal research)
  • Martial Arts (multiple), Qigong (personal research), Exercise Science (former NASM certified personal trainer)
  • Metaphysics (International Metaphysical Ministry, University of Sedona dual Ph.D candidate: Mystical Research & Metaphysical Science)
  • Principles of Integral theory and developmental/positive psychology (extensive personal research, time with Integral master coaches)
  • Secular Mindfulness (personal research and training programs)

These are all modalities that Dan uses regularly in his own life and has acquired proficiency in through lived experience. Dan does not bring anything into a coaching container that he has not personally worked with to determine its validity. Dan participates, or has participated, in multiple lineages as indicated to ensure he remains a constant student, deepening his practice for himself in service to others.

This training relationship meets at the intersection of teaching (imparting skill and knowledge) and coaching (empowering others on their journey through active support). Further, this practice operates on the fundamental perspective that you are a perfect expression of life, just as you are. You may be entirely lost and confused in various ways, watching yourself do things you hate and living in circumstances that need to change. While there may be “problems to fix,” nothing is inherently “wrong” with you. We’ll figure it out.

So far, we have found Meditative Living to be a fantastic supplement to any other work being done. In YourTurn, no one is expected to “become a Zen person,” “alchemist,” or “metaphysician” in their own right. You do not need to identify with or master any of the various sources of the tools unless you want to! That’s also very fun, and Dan is happy to support that process.


2) Ongoing coaching in Meditative Living with Dan. This is the path for serious seekers of any level of experience looking to work directly with a teacher and are willing to commit to in-depth ongoing practice. This is also the place for more in-depth training for people who want to incorporate the YourTurn approach into their own coaching practice. This container includes:

  • One weekly in-depth session (60-minutes) ($500-$625 value)
  • All benefits of an active YourTurn membership. ($125 value)
  • Exclusive ongoing support through Signal Messenger (not an emergency or 24/7 service)

The tuition for ongoing coaching is $600/month. (There are no refunds, but you can choose to cancel at any time)

I believe entering this type of container must be done conscientiously, and a conversation is the best way to determine if there is enough alignment to try this out. Whether we’ve met in a different program or it’s your first inquiry into the YourTurn approach, please use the link below to schedule a mutual interview.

To ensure the quality of this training, only 10 students are accepted at a time. Registration is currently OPEN.
