In the midst of chaos and complexity, how do we create elegant solutions?
Chaos & Complexity
The Muck of the Metacrisis
- disinformation + information overload
- lack of meaning + mental health/spiritual crises
- broken trust in public institutions + political polarization
- anxieties from climate change + nuclear threat
- rapid development of AI + unregulated tech
- pandemics, genocides, culture wars, etc.
Elegant Solutions
Poetic Paths of the Simple yet Profound
- begin with a paradigm shift
- simple without being shallow or unnecessarily complicated
- organically and holistically integrate existing knowledge
- reveal essential features of the reality of the matter
- introduce novel perspectives or approaches
- sustainable, scalable, and adaptable across different domains
- evoke a timeless sense of beauty and wonder
The Path of Purpose and Poetry
A quest for elegant solutions in response to the metacrisis.
Between zero and infinity, all of existence unfolds. Between inhale and exhale, consciousness is possible. Life hangs in the delicate balance between opposing forces in the universe.
Purpose
The drive captured by the left hemisphere of the brain’s orientation towards utility and practicality. It’s focused on categorizing, controlling, and applying logic to understand and shape the world. This pole of consciousness facilitates direction, goals, and quantifiable outcomes and contributes to a sense of progress and achievement.
Poetry
The draw captured by the right hemisphere's orientation to the implicit, symbolic, emotional, and holistic aspects of existence. Poetry transcends the literal and the immediately practical, inviting engagement with mystery, metaphor, and the profound depths of existence. This mode of being values beauty and the exploration of meanings that cannot be fully captured in utilitarian terms.
Hi, I'm Aaliah.
I am not your teacher. Experience is.
But if you like, I can be your mirror.
My journey as a spiritual seeker started at 13, and it’s taken many forms and taken me many places since. I’ve found myself to be a stranger in many contexts, except among the company of fellow seekers.
I view my purpose and poetry as a lifelong commitment to seeing the purpose and poetry in everything. Through my writing, coaching, and facilitation of workshops and experiences, I aim to bring that commitment to life.
While writing is often a way to share my personal explorations, I see coaching as a partnership that allows me to support others as they bring their own purpose and poetry to life. My sincere hope is to collaborate with other spiritual seekers to nurture a community centered around the pursuit of what is True, Good, and Beautiful.
I believe the key to transformative coaching is in finding a good fit between the coach and the person being coached. To get a better sense of who I am, I invite you to check out some of my writing on Substack.
For those who care: In addition to my formal training in psychology, research, and education, I am a certified professional coach and master practitioner in the Energy Leadership system.
