welcome
My name is Gabe Eyrich (she/her). I live in the high desert of southwestern New Mexico, in the borderlands, at the base of the Gila Wilderness. I am a seeker and a guide. My work is about freedom, yours and mine – from ideas, institutions, and identities which limit the life of the soul. Nature, dreaming, ceremony, storytelling, and deep listening are means through which I work and live. If you feel called to work with me, know that we create the way together, as equals, listening and responding to what arises. We name our own boundaries and agree to do no harm.
I have over fifteen years of experience practicing transformation in and out of nature through rites of passage work and ceremony, also through human relationship, both in and out of circles. This includes training with The School of Lost Borders (2013) and living The Way of Council with The Ojai Foundation (2003). I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology, with emphases in Women's & Gender Studies, and an Interdisciplinary Master of Arts in Creative Writing and Psychology.
You can learn more about me and how I relate to the world through my Stories.

What I Offer
I help you identify stories about yourself, patterns you live by, or blind spots in your consciousness, possibly resultant of a wounding or unacknowledged pain. Together, we seek to understand these and discern what is true for you now. We might look for the gift(s) you carry and invite meaning and purpose into the circle.
To this end, I invite you to show me who you are, through written exchanges and imagery, social media presence, or conversations. I offer accompaniment on experiential journeys: mythic crossings through raw nature or the environment of your choosing. In this case, you start with an intention and your experience, which I will mirror back, is a window into the psyche.
Because the soul drives this process, there is no guarantee that it will be easy or predictable.
My ask is that you commit to the work. I commit to walking beside you, in integrity.
Please understand that I work in the physical world with my feet on the ground and often in the metaphorical dark. I do not offer you opportunities to transcend your pain. I offer you opportunities to confront and liberate it. If you are looking to go above it, or around it, or have someone give you the answers, I may not be the guide for you.
For those familiar with the Four Shields of Human Nature, I am rooted in the west.
For those interested in learning the shields, please ask.
Who & How
I work with individuals and collectives. We develop the best approach together, which may be distance communications/experiences, time together in the wilderness, or some combination. I offer a sliding fee scale and/or work by donation. Please email me here to share your interest or intent, or simply if something resonated, and we will arrange for a conversation. See Sessions for more info.
