    *1-1 Mentorship Information: Price & Structure (Maximum Capacity = 20 Clients Per Year)*
    It's an absolute pleasure to film these UA-cam videos, and I feel fortunate to receive an abundance of meaningful messages every week, but I am unfortunately faced with the disappointing reality of turning away the vast majority of people who want to work together.
    I have significantly limited availability and can only support twenty people per year because I do not offer one-off calls or drop-in consulting sessions.
    Twenty individuals might not sound like maximum capacity, but the last few years of teaching have taught me the importance of maintaining tight energetic boundaries if I want to keep uploading these free videos in addition to serving my current clients to the best of my ability in 2024.
    To minimise confusion and enhance transparency, I've spent several hours writing this ridiculously long comment to help you decide if my Inner Work Mentorship is the right choice for your development & what you could reasonably expect from working closely together.
    Please take the time to read this service description before contacting me on Instagram… or feel free to stop reading right now if you’re not interested in my fees, session structure, client expectations, etc.
    ...
    *READ BEFORE SCROLLING FURTHER:*
    I'm interested in long-term change and structural transformation, which is why I've never offered one-off sessions.
    Complex issues cannot be resolved in a few hours, but we likewise need to define an upper limit for containment and collaboration.
    I've learned that deep and enduring self-integration requires at least four months of immersive effort. Why four months? It's enough weekly contact for us to work through multiple complex issues and developmental possibilities, but short enough to mitigate against unconscious co-dependency and motivational stagnation.
    I'm currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month - message me after reading the following section to check my availability.
    ...
    *HOW I WORK & WHO I WORK WITH*
    Unlike other coaches and teachers who take an understandably more relaxed approach to healing and integration, my mentorships are characteristically intense.
    This is a highly-demanding, high-investment process which requires our consistent combined effort over a period of four months.
    If we were to start working together, I would reasonably expect you to be excited to show up for a minimum of 10+ hours of self-motivated transformative practice per week (daily reading, fitness routine, creative exercises, spiritual reflection, etc.) while also maintaining full-sobriety (no drink, no drugs, no cigarettes, no vapes).
    These strict standards of discipline and sobriety are plainly unsuitable for most people in most situations - even genuinely motivated individuals who resonate with my UA-cam videos may not be the right match for four months of structured mentorship.
    If you want to get deeper, I've noticed that there's a certain type of ‘temperament' & 'timing’ to get the most out of me.
    I'm interested in alert, creative and purpose-driven individuals who aspire to exceptional standards of self-maturation and would enjoy the feeling of going through week-on-week of progressively stacked transformative experiences for a third of a year: my ideal client is somebody who is willing to bring forward their internal complexity with a sense of courage and transparency with the intention of nothing less than full-spectrum transformation & rapid acceleration on their personal path.
    I am yet to discover another supportive figure who offers something comparable to this mentorship: a four-month, structured yet flexible 1-1 container which is simultaneously therapeutic, academic and action-oriented; with primary focus placed on tangible improvements in your felt sense of self-knowledge and self-integration; in addition to making consistent and meaningful progress towards your unique goals and mentorship aspirations.
    I prioritise contact, compassion and accountability, which means that your work never really 'ends' at the end of your session. You can reasonably expect to be fed dozens of customised reading suggestions and follow-on perspectives outside of the formal sessions via friendly and informal messenger contact, where I am active and available four days per week to cultivate an intimate personal connection while likewise enhancing your positive momentum via accountability check-ins and additional support as required.
    By way of conclusion for what feels like an extraordinarily long comment and service description, I feel compelled to once more emphasise that working directly with me is unrealistic for most people in most situations.
    I often support people who are accustomed to wrestling with the emotional challenges associated with working through complex wounds in previous therapeutic relationships before we begin our coaching work together. Even individuals without 'hard trauma' can expect moments of pressurised darkness and heaviness during periods of shadow contact as you begin to restructure your personal unconscious. We will be exploring your psyche and soma at scale and depth, and it will be your responsibility to keep me informed about the emotional texture of your internal reality, especially if you encounter negatively charged experiences, and I will of course do everything in my power to support you through the hard times as we integrate the darkness and move forwards together.
    UA-cam is a wonderful place for me to share free research resources and offer accessible inner work invitations; my private mentorships, however, are the place for collaborative partnership and emotional security as we identify, navigate and restructure oftentimes confronting and challenging conscious and unconscious physical, emotional and mental material.
    Ultimately, this is a highly-demanding but highly-rewarding process which requires the best of our shared intentions.
    ...
    *SESSION STRUCTURE & FEES:*
    The total fee for an Inner Work Mentorship (including 12 x 2 hr sessions) is £7,400 GBP or approximately $9,400 USD. This is my only coaching programme, and my mentorship pricing is liable to adjustment over time.

    Each private session lasts two hours, and is facilitated via Telegram video call at an ideal time for both of us. Your mentorship extends over a linear four-month period, with a total of twenty-four hours of structured session time, in addition to four days per week of unlimited messenger availability for accountability updates, voice note exchanges and informal calls upon occasion. I do not work on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I am fully-available across all timezones for regular calls and messenger contact on Thursday - Sunday.
    If you’ve scrolled this far, and resonate with what I’m offering, I invite you to message me on Instagram. It would be my pleasure to start exploring your goals and intentions in real-time.
    IMPORTANT: I am an intentionally independent coach, and not a licensed therapist or associated with any professional bodies or coaching institutions, and therefore enjoy the freedom to collaborate with my clients across all areas of life in an intimate, direct and highly involved coaching style. I work with no more than twenty people per year, and am currently accepting a maximum of two new clients per month. I also manage my own inbox and do not use automated systems or employ people to pretend to be me on Instagram, which means that it usually takes four to six weeks for me to respond to new messages and begin the interview process. Although my approach takes time, I hope you ultimately appreciate my personal emphasis on authentic and confidential communication from the very beginning of our relationship. I once again encourage you to message me immediately if you want to start working together within the next two months - bump yourself to the top of my inbox, and I’ll send you some voice notes to get our conversation started.

    I have a strange question. For as long as I can remember, I've had a very vague flash of a memory of being away at a school or residential place when i was very young. I didn't know anyone else there, but I dont remember any names or faces either. I just remember playing outside and then standing in a line. I've often wondered if it was a true memory. Recently, I have seen some disturbing news about a residential place where young girls from my area went for respite/short breaks. The period covers the time I would link this memory to. I asked my mum if i ever went away, and she said no she cant remember, but she also had 5 kids at the time, and my dad was mentally ill, so i think it would be understandable if she has forgotten thst I was away for a week or few weeks. Also, we had a pretty tough childhood, so i could see why i would have been selected to be sent here. There are no records for me to check if i attended, so im just wondering how i could access these memories or see if they are genuine. Thsnks.

    I recently came across a powerful monologue by a woman talking about the sexual abuse she experienced as a child. As I watched I got a rush of awareness of my own experiences (things I knew but had never been validated and felt in such a deep way). It was intense and scary. Fortunately my brother was available for a call and he just sat with me and honored my feelings. I'm taking a break from doing deep dives on my own and just set an appointment with a new therapist. Somethings need to be explored together.

      I am sorry you're going through this but your brother sounds amazing. I believe not many people could just have been there with you and your emotions. Glad you had him in that moment

    I can relate to this so much. There are some memories that came up during meditation that first shocked me, especially the fact I didn't remember them until then and it was hard not being sure if this was true or not. Learning to deal with that insecurity and focusing more on the general topic and the emotions those memories created took quite some time

    Thank you for making these videos! I have a question for you... I have a daughter who has been estranged from me for years. We reconnected 1,5 year ago when she told me she is hurt because I´ve done something to her when she was 15. She is now 30. The only problem I have, that cant remember doing what she says... I really tried to remember but I can´t. I do actually remember the situation and the day very well, but not what she accuses me of. Is that possible that I've suppressed it or that she remembers additional details that hasn't happened
    I'm quite devastated by this whole situation
    Please it would be good help if you could reflect on this
    Thank you!

      I'm sorry to hear about this situation. It's very challenging, and I wish I could give more appropriate guidance in a comment, but I'm afraid it wouldn't be responsible without knowing more about the specifics. I'm nonetheless wishing you the best with your family healing, and hope this video helped somewhat.

    Thank you, Jordan your video does help. I have a question for you.....what can I do if I try to remember but all I see is "Black" and I get nauseous and feel like I'm gonna faint? If all I see is pure darkness, then how can I shine any light upon it?
    I appreciate you and send you nothing but Love and Light ❤

      I’m sorry to hear this, and your situation likewise seems like the kind of time where some direct 1-1 support could be useful (if you don’t have a therapeutic support already) - sometimes guidance is needed if it’s that dark. Wishing you well 🌲

    To just work on the filth is the first step, but after that, it's also very helpful to complete the picture and go to first memories of total bliss, pleasure and beauty.

    Hey brother, I think you really have great content, you should consider making some good thumbnails like Alex hormozi or DOAC like that, to drive some traffic to your videos, and I would say try some new stuff too. I really wanna support your work, hope that helps🫂💪
