Developing connection with:

Self

Other

Land

The Whole


We've been told, "Keep your nose to the grindstone and it'll pay off." Meanwhile, the world that story built is straining at the seams — ecologically, politically, relationally — and most of us are living with some version of loneliness, anxiety, and a quiet sense that something is missing.

How do we hold what's real — in ourselves, in our work, in the world — without losing our aliveness and our sense of play?

At Enliven we run retreats and cohorts that combine contemplative practice, time in the wild, and real connection with real people. The point isn't to fix you. It's to bring you back into contact with the part of you that you're no longer willing to sacrifice.

This is the work. Let's begin.

How we hold the work

Body-Based

The work begins in the nervous system. Practices that honor your body's history and its unfolding.

Stage-Aware

People grow in stages, and the work of one stage isn't the work of the next. We meet you where you are and hold real thresholds when you're ready to cross them.

In the Moment

You can't think your way into presence. The work happens in the body, in real time, in the field between us – not in concepts.

Shaped by Tradition

Each practice draws from a tradition we have trained in. We collaborate with lineage holders for advanced teachings.

What People Are Saying


"With a unique knowledge of wisdom practices and the outdoors, and a gift for creating a special container that helped me get to greater internal clarity, Spencer's facilitation is highly recommended for anyone seeking to connect deeper to their purpose and how this purpose might be expressed."

PREMAL SHAH, PRESIDENT, KIVA.ORG


"What I received on the retreat far exceeded anything I could have imagined. I came out of our time together with newfound clarity and vision for what I want to cultivate in my business and life. To call what has followed my time in the desert a paradigm shift would not be an exaggeration."

ELLEN KEITH SHAW, DESIGNER & STRATEGIST


"What makes an adventure or journey of the body, mind, and soul a powerful one for me is the strength of the container that holds it. Spencer and the other guides’ container was not only strong, it was peaceful, nurturing, and fun. It offered just the right degree of safety for me to open up to presence. Spencer’s experience, presence, and wisdom was a gift I’ll cherish, with luck, for a lifetime."

DAVID STOCKHAUSEN, FOUNDER, THE RELATIONSHIP PROCESS


"Spencer's guidance through the exploration of what it means to be a leader in today's times is truly a gift. Rarely are we given the time, space and safety to explore the challenges and nuances of leadership in a way that has a lasting impact on both our personal and professional life, but over the course of the program, we did just that."

KALYN BELCOURT, PRESIDENT, COPERNICUS EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS


"Spencer is a coach and a guide by not only his words but also his example and his presence. I have learned so much from him just by his example in the way that he managed our sessions calmly and authentically."

ANTONIO BACLIG, FOUNDER, INLYTE ENERGY


"This training has brought me richness and depth, connecting the practical and spiritual, allowing me to be more present and aware, do better work, and be more authentic. What a gift, thank you Spencer Honeyman, for this opportunity, for leading by example, and for curating this exceptional leadership program."

BAS KOOL, CO-FOUNDER, GEOSHIP
