Dear Friends,

I felt an inspiration to tell you about my private coaching & healing practice. 

My overarching mission through my 1:1 work is to hold a space of unconditional Love at all times, to the best of my abilities, and to support people to know themselves, bring Love to all corners of their being, find deep & lasting fulfillment, return home to Wholeness, embody radical gratitude, learn to Trust Life, and become what they truly are.

If you sense that you could benefit from weekly or biweekly sessions with me, read on. 

Who is This Work For?

1. Courageous individuals who feel called to heal on deep levels, open their hearts, discover truer authenticity, unlock playful creativity, surrender into greater Trust in Life, return Home to Love, and share their gifts with the world

 2. Plant medicine explorers seeking loving assistance to integrate a powerful psychedelic journey, find balance, and to continue healing, evolving, and stepping into purposeful service and heart-led creativity

 3. Couples seeking to heal and thrive in relationship by learning conscious communication, becoming profoundly honest & transparent, practicing service & devotion to one another, ceasing to keep score, forgiving, releasing resentments, being clear about their needs, opening to Love & Trust on a new level, and taking radical responsibility for their shadows & lives

 4. Established leaders & entrepreneurs who know deep down that something is missing, and that it is time to slow down, reconnect to the heart, heal, and find a new depth of connection, purpose, meaning, clarity, and service in their lives

 5. ‘Leaders in hiding’ who know they would greatly benefit from regular meetings with a mentor who can affirm their greatness and support them to step forward, dissolve blocks, love all of themselves, create, lead, use their voice, and put their work out there for the world to see

 6. Men who are ready to let go of boyhood, addiction, distraction, dishonesty, misalignment, and shadow masculinity—and to step into embodied, heart-centered, mature masculinity in service to All

 7. Anyone who is brave enough to get real, get raw, bring Love to the darkest corners of themselves, stay put when the going gets tough, listen to feedback even when it’s hard to stomach, and go on a Hero’s Journey to become who they truly are 

How Does it Work?

The primary vehicle for our work together will be weekly or biweekly 60-120-minute 1:1 or 1:2 sessions via Zoom video call.

These sessions will be intimate immersions blending coaching, space-holding, question-asking, heart-sharing, deep listening, meditation, prayer, guidance, direct honesty, unconditional Love, and various healing modalities, to address whatever is arising for you and guide you Home to Love. Each session will be a unique co-created art-work.

Most sessions will open with a guided meditation, and will then center around the asking of uncommonly real questions, providing you a space to give voice to what is truly alive within you, and to contact your own heart’s truth and wisdom. I will intuitively offer you additional reflections and guidance, and sometimes I may invite you to dive into other healing modalities, such as breathwork, sound healing, poetry-writing, inner child work, and so on. Sessions will typically end with a closing prayer.

Through these 1:1 immersions we will become truly intimate with one another. We will know and see one another on levels we may not have been known or seen before. We will act as mirrors for one another. I will reflect to you your own heart, beauty, gifts, and genius, and invite you to claim them. I will lovingly point at things you may not want me to see, so we can bring Love to those spaces. I will do my best to empty myself, to become whatever is needed for you, session by session.

After each session, I will often send you a follow-up note with some reflections on the session, and sometimes I will invite you to undertake certain challenges or exercises before our next session. I will also make myself available via messaging app or email for questions or shares that may arise for you between sessions.

I will also offer ‘spot coaching’ between sessions, if you are in an urgent situation and need concise assistance ‘on the spot,’ so long as I am available and so long as you do not overuse this privilege.

“Working with Jordan has been beautifully life-affirming and life-changing. After participating at in-person retreats as well as multiple online containers with Jordan over the last 2 years, I can say he is the real deal and give a Big, Giant Recommendation to participate in any of his offerings. You will evolve. You will play and have fun. You will be reminded to trust life, to see the magic in every moment, and to dare something greatly.”

How Long Does it Last & What is the Cost?

This type of work is not typically an overnight solution. Individual sessions can be profoundly powerful, yet to unearth deeper jewels and breakthroughs and to truly integrate these into your life, longer-term work is needed.

As such, I ask folks to commit to working with me for 3 months or more, and I deeply recommend 6+ months. 

Naturally, you might want to experience this work before deciding to register for a longer journey. As such, I’m happy to allow you to book one or two donation-based sessions with me first, to get a deeper sense of what this work is all about, before deciding whether or not to proceed further. 

The financial contribution for longer-term work with me is on a sliding scale, to meet folks where they are. To break this down further, my current recommended rates are:

•  $100/hour — ‘Bootstrapped’ (Recommended for those earning less than $50k USD per year) 

•  $150/hour — ‘Standard’ (Recommended for those earning $50k - $80k USD per year)

•  $200/hour — ‘Abundant’ (Recommended for those earning more than $80k USD per year or who are independently wealthy via inheritance or other means) 

We will have an honest conversation to determine what is right and fair for you. I consider this work a core part of my calling, vocation, and service to the world, and as such it is important to me to make this work accessible to a wide range of people.

What is the (Experiential, Philosophical, & Methodological) Foundation of My Coaching & Healing Practice?

Ultimately, at this stage, for me, 1:1 coaching & healing work is an extraordinarily intuitive process. Essentially, I simply empty myself, become as Present and transparent to unconditional Love as I am able, and allow Love to guide me. To hold space for someone, is a meditative, at times mystical experience for me—one of deep intimacy, honesty, & realness. I am most fundamentally guided by my deep faith in God/Life; my direct experience of Life as Divinity; my conviction that Life is the master teacher and is always giving us the precise medicine we need; and my conviction that Love is the original and final medicine that heals and harmonizes all things.

Experientially, my ~5 years of professional experience as a coach & facilitator, both online and in-person, constitute the core foundation of my practice. The many retreats, trainings, & containers I’ve been part of; my many entheogenic & transcendent experiences; as well as the ~decade I spent traveling to 30+ countries, also deeply inform my work and who I am. My entire life is ultimately the basis of my work.

Philosophically and methodologically, my work draws inspiration from many diverse sources I’ve encountered and explored, to varying degrees of depth, on my winding journey: Men’s Work, entheogenic work, (Jungian) depth psychology, integral theory, shadow work, developmental psychology, various coaching methodologies, Internal Family Systems (Parts Work), Spiral Dynamics, transpersonal psychology, Ego Development Theory, shamanism, circling, Eastern & Western philosophy, mysticism, non-duality, religious traditions, art, poetry, music, energy work, meditative & contemplative traditions, breathwork practices, comparative mythology, Ayurvedic medicine, martial arts, German New Medicine, trauma-informed facilitation, space-holding, authentic relating, somatic practices, self-inquiry, Hawkins’ ‘Map of Consciousness,’ ‘The Work’ of Byron Katie, great (fictional) literature, and more.

Some of the human beings whose work impacted me most are: Jesus Christ, Sri Anandamayi Ma, Remi Delaune, Peter Brown, Carl Jung, Adyashanti, Byron Katie, David Hawkins, Eckhart Tolle, Pema Chodron, Friedrich Nietzsche, Diogenes, Osho, Alan Watts, Terence McKenna, Joseph Campbell, Charles Eisenstein, Herman Hesse, Haruki Murakami, David Foster Wallace, Fyodor Dostoevsky, J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien, Tao Lin, R.A.P. Ferreira, MF DOOM, Offsite, Dunzo Donalds, KOOL A.D., Adam Sandler, Mac Miller, Jiro Taylor, Ashley Delaune, CoryaYo, Eric Brown, Jon Brooks, my partner Tanja, my daughter Lila, my parents Connie & Dan, my sister Anna, my brother Mike, and my extended family & friends.

I cite all of these beings and schools of thought/practice to rapidly give a sense of the landscape of my mind and the context that informs my work. In the end, I do not confine myself to anything formulaic or predefined in the work that I do. Despite the apparent complexity of my many influences, the work that I do tends to feel quite simple, natural, and straightforward. It primarily involves something that might be called ‘nakedly honest, unconditionally loving inquiry’—in which the loving act of asking uncommonly real & penetrating questions opens up a space of raw authenticity, wherein the multi-layered truth of one’s being can be encountered directly, and loved as it is.

Next Steps

Thanks for reading this far, and for your interest in my work. I appreciate you.

If you’d like to take the next step toward working with me, please book a free exploration call with me here:

[If none of the scheduled time slots work, just email me at jordan.bates1991 [at] gmail.com and we can find a time. I’m flexible.]

On our exploration call, I will open with a guided meditation, and then we will have a heart-to-heart conversation to find out where you’re at and how I may be able to serve you. If we feel we are meant to journey together, we can then determine whether you’d like to start with one or two donation-based sessions to get a feel for the work, or whether you’re ready to dive straight into the deeper, longer-term work.

It is my sincere prayer to hold a space of unconditional Love for you at all times, to the best of my abilities, allowing you to peel back the layers, release what is not serving, return to wholeness, know Grace, feel the warmth of your own Heart, and express yourself freely and honestly in the world, in service of All.

Thank you for considering my work. If you know of others who could benefit from this, feel welcome to send them this article.

In Gratitude, Grace, Service, & Love,
Jordan
