This is a space for the tender, the in-between, and the quietly becoming.
I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk beside you — to companion what’s unfolding, to hold what’s unspoken, and to invite you back into right relationship with your own wisdom.
Hi, I’m Mikey. And like you, I’m walking a path that’s still unfolding.
I completed my 5.5 year long shamanic initiation in June of 2025, in Trabuco Canyon, California; which is exactly where my healer journey took an uptick. The signicance of this are is that Trabuco College was a spiritual retreat center in Trabuco Canyon, California, co-founded by Gerald Heard and Aldous Huxley. It operated from 1942 to 1949 and is considered a precursor to the Human Potential Movement. The college focused on comparative religious studies and practices, attracting individuals seeking spiritual growth.
These days, I live in the beautiful tension between becoming and belonging. I’m a father, learning daily how to hold both joy and exhaustion. How to slow down when everything feels urgent. How to stay present for the small, sacred moments that so easily slip by.
I’m a 2nd year Graduate student in the Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling program at Naropa University, and more than anything, I’m a human in the ongoing practice of remembering who I am — underneath the roles, the protectors, and the old stories.
I won’t meet you from a place of having it all figured out. I’ll meet you from right here — in the honest, sometimes messy, always sacred middle of things.
My path to this work wasn’t a straight line — it was a slow, winding return to myself through the dark valleys of grief, the weight of depression, the quiet ache of anxiety, and the rawness of heartbreak. These experiences didn’t break me; they became doorways to something deeper.
It was through my own journey of healing — supported by transformational practices and the quiet teachings of nature and psychedelics — that I came to understand the real work begins after the peak moments. This is why integration matters to me. Not just the breakthroughs, but the tender, courageous practice of weaving those insights into the way we live, love, and belong.
My work is intuitive, presence-centered, and soul-rooted — drawing from Gestalt therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and transpersonal traditions. I offer reverent space for individuals navigating inner thresholds, integration, grief, and healing.
I believe in the wisdom of the body, the quiet voice of the soul, and the healing that happens when we’re simply witnessed — without pressure to change or perform.
If you find yourself standing at a threshold — of grief, becoming, or letting go — I’d be honored to walk beside you.
You don’t have to figure it all out before you arrive.
Just bring yourself, exactly as you are.
I’m a trauma-informed companion, a space holder, and a presence-based guide for those walking through grief, thresholds, integration, and self-remembering.
I walk with people — not ahead of them. My intention is always to meet you with humility, reverence, and trust in your own unfolding.
Healing isn’t linear. It’s cyclical, sacred, and often surprising.
Presence is medicine. Often, just being seen shifts everything.
You are not broken. You are responding — wisely — to what’s happened.
The body remembers. And it also knows how to come home.
About the artist:
I am Kurt Olson, and I currently live in Bend Oregon.
My goal is to influence the experience of the space my work occupies. I aim to evoke emotions over thoughts.
I like to build extravagant frames for my paintings and sell them as a finished unit. My work is more than 20 years of painting and woodworking combined.
Kurt and Mikey crossed their unfolding paths around the becoming of Being Space Bend having conversations about the non-dual, existence itself, being a parent, and medicine work.
