Kim Lincoln founded the school Terrain of Essence Teachings in 2007 at the request of clients eager to learn what it is that she practiced. With interest the school grew to include a full Practitioner Training program. Terrain of Essence offers embodied consciousness practice and teaching to evolve the soul. Kim's path has involved 50 years of spiritual practices, psycho-spiritual training, energy-work, bodywork and trauma training that formally began in 1971. In the early 90's she came to realize the need of trauma skills in addressing one's spirituality. Kim wrote about this concern in her first book, Holy Here Wholy You, and has presented this knowledge publicly from 2013 onward as a guest presenter at the Maui Sufi camp, the Trauma and Dissociation Conferences in Seattle, and at the SAND Science and Non-duality Conference in San Jose as a poster session highlighting what has become The Journey course, bridging ancient spirituality and cutting edge science. Kim's transformational courses open the way for experiencing a genuine quality of life to live as an essential human being. The school offers a full curriculum for those wanting to enhance their self-growth, to become a practitioner of this work or to augment these principles in their own teaching. www.kimlincoln.com [email protected]

Jessica Rose Practitioner Dr. Jessica Rose is a visionary and chiropractor with a passion for Embodying Truth. This passion has inspired many learning adventures in Life, spirituality and the healing arts. She has been teaching embodied spirituality over the last two decades, including locally as a co-founder of Awakening to Wholeness, the school of embodied energetics and as a co-creator of the Initiation of the Beloved Teachings.
Jessica has studied for over a decade with Kim Lincoln at the Terrain of Essence School. Somatic presencing and the latifas are an essential part of the in-person and phone sessions she offers. Additionally, Jessica often utilizes muscle testing and NeuroEmotional Technique, shown to reduce traumatic stress, to further support holistic harmonization on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual levels. During sessions, as the nervous system rebalances, the bodymind expands its perspective and has the capacity to witness unconscious defenses, pain patterns and beliefs still holding from past experience. When witnessed by the true healer (the presence and wisdom of you) effortless reorganization can occur. This natural evolutionary transformation allows for new life perspectives and experiences of Self.
In-person sessions are offered at a beautiful office space in connection with nature along the Salish Sea/ Puget Sound. www.jessicarose.love 360-789-3134
Brent Swift Practitioner
Brent is a licensed Acupuncturist yet works as a truly holistic practitioner. He is able to presence the deep essence of an individual, bear witness to how separation occurs and support them to rest back into wholeness. His adaptability allows the process to be shifting directions during the session and to continue to be met. The mystery can then unfold with the freshness that only “not knowing” can bring; this often comes with a playful spirit that fills the session room. He is willing to laugh, shout, tremble and cry with people as the unfolding occurs. The non-judgementalness held in the room makes space for perceptional shifts to occur. The space for this transformation is sacred to Brent and therefore held with deep integrity.
Brent's training stem from four primary categories: Acupuncture and Chinese medicine, Peruvian shamanism, Middle Eastern Terrain of Essence, and Western trauma work.
Feel free to schedule with Brent through his website to schedule your session by phone or in person. www.swiftawakening.com 808-205-9292
