1:1 Sessions
For those at a crossroads, ready to create the next.
“A gifted creative, with intuitive & insightful powers culled from the foundry of her own healing flames—working with Saga is a truly intimate, singular and transformative experience.
I’m grateful to Saga for her clear-sightedness, compassion and perceptive guidance in the presence of both pain and joy.
Erudite, thoughtful and full of light— I recommend Saga. With all she has to offer us, I’m here for it.”
— Willamain, Marfa TX
The Listening Stone
“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” - Rainer Maria Rilke, Poet, 1908
-
The Listening Stone is a deep witnessing session — a non-judgmental and warm room for what feels tender, urgent, or unnamed.
A reconnection to your centerline, from which you can clarify, re-orient, and find aligned action.
Together, we tune out the noise of the world and listen inward, so you can hear your own clearest voice speak back.
From this place of stillness, clarity emerges. You already hold the answers within; with deep listening, your own wisdom may guide you.
-
For those at a crossroads in life, where the old way no longer works, but the new way has yet to emerge.
For when the questions feel too heavy and too foggy to hold alone, or the external voices are pulling you into different directions.
The primary emotions signaling its time for a Listening Stone session are:
Confusion
Overwhelm
Burn Out
A gnawing dissatisfaction with the status quo even though ‘it should be fine’
A challenging external situation or person that is bringing the opportunity to heal, re-pattern, and re-write an internal story or relational pattern
These sessions are especially resonant for those in creative, spiritual, or life transition.
-
You bring what feels alive, and together we listen for what wants to rise.
Through a simple dialogue based in question and answer, we let the deeper truths reveal themselves.
Come to feel seen, held, and heard in the whole of who you are and what you carry.
The Essence Mirror
“That ideas are alive, that ideas do seek the most available human collaborator, that ideas do have a conscious will, that ideas do move from soul to soul, that ideas will always try to seek the swiftest and most efficient conduit to the earth.” - Elizabeth Gilbert, Author of Big Magic, 2015
-
The Essence Mirror is a reflective reading — a symbolic space to see more clearly the essence of who you are, or of a work that is seeking form.
It may be your own essence in a moment of emergence — when identity, voice, or path feel ready to clarify. Or it may be the essence of an idea asking to come through: a book, a brand, an album, a performance, a company, or a film.
Together, we listen for the deep patterns, archetypes, and mythic threads that shape the core of what is present. Through mirrored language, these threads are named and woven, so you leave with both recognition and direction.
From this reflection, coherence emerges. Whether personal or creative, the soul of the work becomes visible — and from that clarity, the next step is illuminated.
-
For those who sense something new is arriving — within themselves, or through a work, idea, or offering — but its true shape is not yet clear.
For when you know there is an essence underneath the noise, but it feels just out of reach, or difficult to name on your own.
The primary signs it may be time for an Essence Mirror session are:
A project or vision that feels alive but unformed
A creative impulse asking to become a book, brand, album, film, performance, or unknown form
A desire to clarify your voice, story, or role in the world
An emerging identity or direction that feels too vast or diffuse to hold alone
A calling to refine your message or offering so others can feel its true resonance
These sessions are especially resonant for those bringing forth new work, shaping emergent forms, or standing at the edge of personal or creative becoming.
-
You bring yourself — or the seed of a project, idea, or offering — and together we listen for what essence wants to come forward and take form.
You’ll leave with clearer articulation of the essence at hand, and direction for how it may grow into its next expression.
If, following the Essence Mirror, the idea/potential wants my support in bringing it to reality, I will follow-up with a proposal on co-creating/creative midwifing its emergence.
The Architectural Alignment
“ It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
of all things physical and metaphysical,
of all things human and all things superhuman,
of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul,
that the life is recognizable in its expression,
that form ever follows function. This is the law.”
— Louis H. Sullivan, Father of the American Skyscraper, 1896
-
Architectural Alignment is a framework-drafting session to bring conceptual clarity, coherence between your internal self and your external actions, and energetic sustainability to the invisible structures that hold your work and life.
This work combines over a decade of business and brand craft with companies big and small, with my Masters degree in conceptual architecture from Yale—applied to an individual’s creative and generative process.
In Architectural Alignment, my role is to listen for the deeper blueprint already encoded in your energy, and to translate it into a living design you can use.
Together, we map your offerings, systems, and flows so they reflect both your vision and your natural rhythms — a structure that sustains rather than drains.
You will leave with a practical map: a coherent architecture for your offerings, your operations, or your daily rhythm.
More than inspiration, you will have a design that frees energy, clarifies direction, and scales your creativity without burnout.
-
This work is for those who sense a threshold approaching — the old structures no longer fit, and the new ones haven’t yet formed.
The Artist — You’re expanding your creative body of work but need clearer scaffolding to hold it. This session helps you design rhythms, offerings, and visibility that protect your essence while allowing your art to reach the world.
The Founder or Entrepreneur — You’re launching, rebranding, or restructuring. The vision is alive, but the systems lag behind. This session brings coherence between your purpose, offerings, and operations so your work can scale without depletion.
The Parent or Caregiver — You’re stretched between devotion and creation, craving space to move at your own rhythm again. This session helps you build supportive boundaries and flows that honor your care work and your creative call.
The Professional in Transition — You feel the pull to realign your outer life with your inner knowing. This session helps you map the next evolution of your work and design a structure that fits who you are becoming.
The Visionary or Collaborator — You’re tending something larger than yourself — a school, a studio, a movement — and need to give it bones that can hold many without losing its pulse. This session helps you name the architecture that keeps your vision alive.
Architectural Alignment is for those ready to rebuild on truer foundations — to let the architecture of their life, work, and energy serve what they are truly here to do.
-
We begin by listening for the pattern beneath the surface — where things flow, where they snag, and what structure your energy is already trying to take. Together, we trace the current of your creative and professional life, mapping what wants to stay, what needs release, and what’s ready to evolve.
This is a conversation and a calibration. Through reflection and gentle system design, we reveal the architecture that best supports your natural rhythm — so your work, life, and offerings begin to move in harmony again.
Often, we anchor the design in a core symbolic metaphor (E.g. the Garden, the Honeycomb, the Deep Sea Diver) to help you recall it with ease and actively orient with it.

What people have said:
3-month engagements for those seeking a custom, longer arc that braids the personal, the professional, and the magical.
THE SHAPED VESSEL
“Saga understood me and my work. She dove into my prolific material with relish and found the essence of the story, working as a detective with my poetry manuscript.
She connected immediately with the material and was so clever to devise a way to present it which made it accessible. She found the book title, Time Against Memory, in one of my poems to shape the whole manuscript.
She is so intuitive, her intellect and her academic accomplishments inform her native sensitivity. It is remarkable how she works in her connection to energy and creativity. Saga's belief, support, hard work and experience have been a gift to me and my project.”
— Zara Hart, author of Time Against Memory
ARCHETYPAL ARCS
Examples of creative-spiritual journeys a custom 1:1 coaching engagement, The Shaped Vessel, could unfold.
The Emerging Leader softening into Strength
A journey into holding and wielding power.
She stands at the cusp between hiding her power and harnessing it. She is claiming authority through integrity and self-consideration. The work invites her from endurance into flow—naming and practicing internal boundaries, anchoring rest, and refining the rhythm through which her brilliance naturally moves.
Throughout the journey, she fortifies her inner architecture, her outer world shifts in kind: respected boundaries, rightful titles and compensation, mentors who mirror her magnitude. She learns to practice the art of sustainable sovereignty—strength that does not strain, authority that breathes, leadership that listens within to shape the reality of her choosing.
The Voice-in-Bloom finding its Form
A journey into creative coherence and its expressive form.
They arrive surrounded by fragments — notebooks, drafts, paintings, phrases that feel alive but scattered. They are prolific yet searching for coherence, yearning for the form that can hold their fire without dimming it.
The work invites them from overflow into articulation. Their body of work begins to reveal its spine — the living thread that runs through every expression. Formal clarity follows: a title that holds the essence, a frame that orients the whole. They leave not with a script to follow, but with the something tangible to hold. Internally, there is an announcement of recognition: this is what I came here to say.
The Form-Maker embracing Intuition
A journey into wielding a multiplicity of intelligences.
After years of shaping systems for others, he feels the ache of a quieter truth — that what he builds must now carry his own signature of aliveness. The work invites him from optimization into origination: to leave behind the architectures of approval and begin crafting from essence.
Through this process, he learns to trust his creative current as much as his intellect. He translates intuition into design, weaving structure that breathes and strategy that sings. As his inner compass aligns, outer success is magnetized: work that feeds him, collaborations that honor him, and a life that reflects the beauty of his own geometry.
The Entrepreneur welcoming Reciprocity
A journey into loving boundaries and creative rhythm.
She rises from the waters that once drowned her, learning to let them move through form. The work invites her from containment into conscious channeling—from hiding her medicine to allowing it to stream safely into the world. Through structuring her business offerings and her creative practice, with clear markers of give and take, she learns that protection is not a barrier but a rhythm—an art of opening and closing that keeps her current clean.
As her inner structure coheres, her outer field blooms: offerings that replenish instead of drain; a digital temple that honors her lineage; boundaries that do not need to be defended; collaborators who meet her at the right depth. Her work becomes a living river: moving through constructed riverbanks, its current can run free.
The Steward remembering Meaning
A journey from precision to presence.
He arrives with capable hands and a disciplined mind — a builder of systems, an engineer of structure. He has hit the peak of excellence and finds he is yearning for something deeper. He wants to make an imprint on the world—to be construct meaning, not just metrics. He knows it is time to reweave purpose into the framework.
The work invites him from control into communion. Through this process, he learns that true foundations are not made of stone, but of alignment: integrity, devotion, and breath. To build meaning outside, he must build it inside. As he restores his inner compass, the outer ones he builds begin to live again — organizations that listen, systems that care. He becomes a restorer of the sacred — an architect of belonging, shaping spaces where others may finally rest inside what has been rebuilt with love.
The Bridge-between-Worlds finding Home
A journey into synthesis and belonging across difference.
They live between worlds, fluent in many languages yet belonging to none. For years, this fluidity has felt like fracture — too diffuse to define, too complex to contain. The work invites them from dispersion into design, showing that their multiplicity is not a flaw, but unique function.
Together, we map the pattern: examining the facets until the fractal reveals itself. Through creative practice, offering structure, or relational clarity—their many threads become a tapestry of coherence rather than exhaustion. As they claim their architecture of in-between, others begin to find rest in their field. Their gift becomes embodiment of the threshold itself — not either/or, but both/and — a living bridge through which new futures can cross.
