Act 3 Coaching

Hi- I’m Mark Johnson, a highly sensitive, intuitive, liberally educated and intensely curious explorer and life- guide.

As an adult I’ve been a teacher at both traditional and alternative secondary schools, a headmaster, a college professor, and a hardware store owner–as well as a student, a voracious reader, a seeker, a mentor, and supporter of others on their journeys.

I am nourished by insights from Jung and Rohr, Mary Oliver, Wendell Berry, James Baldwin, Karen Armstrong, a variety of spiritual and religious texts and the canon of Western Humanities. And now I am focusing on the shape and meaning of life’s journey, the place and role of spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all Life.

While intellectually (socially, politically and spiritually) I tend toward the liberal end of the spectrum, I have a wide-open mind and heart. Connecting with people, people of all persuasions and walks of life, and affirming their existence is a key part of my purpose in this life.

And throughout it all, my real education and life’s purpose was—and continues to be– in loving others, and in trying to live, consciously, mindfully, gratefully, intensely.

Act 3 is for people who are a lot like me.

Getting older can be lonely. It can be discouraging. It can be fraught with fear and anxiety about time passing and running out. It can also be a time that is rich with self exploration, a time when we can give ourselves permission to explore and try new things, to reach out into our communities, or in toward our wounded parts to offer tender understanding and healing through integration.

We suddenly find ourselves in the third act of life… and we don’t want to waste what’s left. We want to find and hold meaning, reestablish or discover a sense of identity and purpose, and explore what it means to be here, in this world, as it is right now.

I bring all of me to all I do.  I offer a lifetime of experience and wisdom. I listen and reflect, distill and suggest. I will meet you where you are, and walk with you.  Unlike other coaching programs, there is no “program” here.  There is no script. I have tools we can use if and when they seem to be useful (Myers-Briggs, Eannegram, NLP, etc.). Otherwise this is an exploration. If you’re not sure if I would work well with you, reach out. 30 minutes, $50. And– after we talk– if you don’t think it’s a great fit,  I’ll give you a full refund.
