What if the path to true healing isn’t paved with relentless struggle and painful reliving of the past but with joy, deep self-compassion, and seeing the wholeness that’s been within us all along?

This was the transformative theme at the heart of my recent conversation with Steven, the Director of Education for Organic Intelligence, on LOA Today.

We didn’t just discuss ideas; we explored lived experience: the real questions, doubts, and breakthroughs that happen on the path to wellness.

From the very beginning, Steven set the tone for a radically new approach. When I asked how he ended up working in healing, Steven shared, “We’re built on our errors, the learning that we get from our mistakes. And so what can I say? I’ve learned a lot.” His openness established the conversation as a shared journey, not a lecture.

We dove deep into the problem with the classic Western narrative of self-denial and hard work as the only way to personal growth. I asked, “If you don’t have a practice of kindness toward yourself, isn’t being kind to others a chore?” Steven’s answer was revelatory: “That’s the essence of it, isn’t it? The job is enjoyable.” Instead of treating pleasure and self-kindness as luxuries, Steven insisted these are essential to real, lasting change.

One of the most powerful insights was how Organic Intelligence helps people develop “bandwidth” for life’s experiences by practicing orientation to the world around us not just endless introspection. “The cornerstone is this really great news, within yourself is pre-existing wholeness. We’re not trying to manufacture some kind of goodness. We’re just trying to get out of the way enough to rediscover it,” Steven explained.

Questions fueled our entire exchange: How do we bridge the gap between internal and external experience? How do we orient towards what is working, instead of obsessing over what’s broken? Can physical symptoms and real-world limitations be helped by tools we might not expect?

Steven answered these with living examples and hope: clients overcoming chronic conditions, communities finding resilience, and the “miracle” moments in therapy when the system guides people to external cues—a butterfly, a surge of pleasure that becomes the gateway to healing.

Above all, the message was one of radical hope and universality. “We are preferentially looking for the side of experience that is unacknowledged, but that also feels well, there are ways we can knit back the fabric of our being,” Steven shared. And as we both discovered through our journeys—spiritual, emotional, and physical—the common thread has been finding joy and connection, not in spite of pain but alongside it.

Steven’s dream for Organic Intelligence, mentoring others to continue this generational work of wholeness, leaves a lasting legacy not just for those who directly interact but for communities and future generations.

If you’re searching for healing that empowers joy, compassion, and self-acceptance to become your new “normal,” you’re not alone. The path is wide, welcoming—and it’s already under your feet.
