It is clear to me that my journey from confusion to clarity and from closed heart to open heart is one of continual arrivals and departures, a lifelong process that happens over and over again, every day. I'm fine with that. I love the story of the Buddha's enlightenment. It inspires me in the way that heroic stories are meant to inspire. The message of the story- that arriving at freedom and happiness is a possibility- reminds me that I too can arrive, even if it is again and again rather than once and for all, at that experience of clarity in which I am happy. It's easy to forget. I think of myself as always being one mind-moment away from forgetting. My experience is that we all are that way. I think, "one false move..."

John Earle
Relationship and Individual Counseling
My work is spiritually based (but not religious). I incorporate principals from many teachers and paths and apply spiritual tools and perspectives to difficult personal issues. Because this work is rooted in perennial wisdom, it facilitates change that is a very long lasting and dynamic. My goal is to empower my clients to make changes that create wholeness and harmony in their lives. I do not endeavor to create a co-dependent therapist-client relationship. You learn the tools for change. You do the work. I supply the tools, help with the launch and the fine tuning and provide support when needed.
I have 22 years of experience resolving interpersonal communications issues in relationships and institutionally. I have co-produced over 50 couple's retreats with my wife along with facilitating numerous other interpersonal communication workshops and gatherings.
Please Note: Although my work sometimes involves psychology, I am not a psychologist, or therapist.
