Mentoring

If you would like an individual session to go deeper after a retreat, are going through a time of challenge or growth, or would just like some closer guidance on your path, I am available for in-person and online sessions. 

We start from wherever you are - whether despairing or exultant, or anywhere in between. 

Individual sessions with me land the expansiveness of the buddha dharma into the particulars of your life. 

Tailored practices and instructions are offered to support your unique path and practice development. 

1:1 sessions are in-person in Melbourne, or from anywhere online. I also offer annual group mentoring programs - see below.

  • “Jess has been my eyes to see in the dark, through many periods of difficulty. Jess’ capacity to hold whatever passes through, has taught me profoundly about resting back into my own heart and seat.”

    Felicity, mentee

  • “This is life changing work. I have been supported to keep opening my heart and mind to life. It’s been an enchanting journey, requiring a good dose of courage, and near impossible without support. Jess’s wit, compassion and wisdom has been a constant feature. I cannot imagine the path without her.”

    Kirsty, mentee

  • “Jess’ work helps me rest into my okayness. That might sound simple, but in fact it is profound.”

    Kate, mentee

  • “I have evolved into being much more deeply connected to myself. I just feel steadier, more sure-footed, vital and awake to what matters.”

    Jo, mentee

Group Mentoring

Group mentoring programs create ongoing refuge, sanctuary and kinship as we continue to open our hearts and minds in the midst of our real lives. 

By meeting consistently as a collective, over time, we do this work together in a way that is integrated into daily life. 

With the holding of wisdom teachings, and the support of a vibrant practice community, you can anchor into practice depths again and again from your own homes - without having to pack up your bags and go elsewhere.

Upcoming Mentoring Group Program

The Collective Well 2025 - HEART

The human heart has the capacity to rise again and again, through great loss and hardship.

As your heart and inspiration engages through practice - as you get behind your own life -  there can be such powerful shifts. Tremendous warmth, energy, and courage can enter your life.

Past Mentoring Group Programs

The Collective Well 2024
July - November 2024
Springing from Foundations into tantric teachings

Foundational practices give us a ground of safety, warmth, protection and insight. Springing from these Foundations, we explored embracing core, unhindered energies of aliveness - found within ourselves and in nature - guided by a seminal Tantric map of wholeness and sanity.

The Collective Well 2023
May – November 2023
An emergent practice container, focusing on nourishment, pleasure and resourcing. A deep-dive into the Jhanas, or absorbtion states. Themes included ‘gathering nectar’, ‘cross pollination’ and ‘budding’.

In Your Own Skin
2019
A year-long mentorship for dedicated students, exploring the world as our monastery, and each student’s own unique creative path.
