Life Mission: A Living Conversation
For thousands of years, people have wondered:
- Why am I here?
- What am I here to do?
- Who am I here to become?
We can be in a life purpose conversation all our lives and not tap into the blueprint that is there, inside of us already, because we are looking in places that don't yet reveal to us that golden thread inside.
We might be focused on what we are good at, what others have praised us for, where we've gotten recognition or success, and at the end of the day, there may still be a sense that there is something more.
A deeper look can show us that what we love may have gotten hidden by our life experiences. A sense that we have something to give and bring that is uniquely ours to do may have been covered by failures and false starts.
A promise of this work is that when you start to uncover the deeper thread of why you are here, what you are here to do and who you are here to become, it will give energy to your life. You'll wake up in the morning excited to get going.
As you build skill with this work, you'll develop a deeper knowing that will help you in times of crisis, pivots, crossroads, and integration.
The Golden Thread
Throughout our lives, there are moments that we give meaning to and those moments then stay with us. As children, we often express something of our inherent nature even if we don't fully recognize it at the time. The Golden Thread of life mission contains all of our moments of recognition of something that had a deeper meaning, pointing to our unique blueprint. We can begin to connect with it, and let it inspire us in navigating the landscape set before us.
Caravan of Remembering helps you connect to the Golden Thread weaving through your life and learn to access the inspiration, inner guidance and authenticity that naturally begins to open in the process.

I had a sense of being stuck so deep for so long, and now I have real excitement for how this will sort itself out. ~ Richard E., Colorado, June 11, 2024
Who This Journey Is For:
Are you…
- Feeling successful on paper and looking for more meaning?
- Wondering how your unique gifts can contribute to the world?
- In a life transition—retirement, career shift, or creative reinvention?
- Sensing that there’s more calling you forward, but unsure of the next step?
- Sensing something about your purpose already, and would like to explore more?
My sessions with Carissa have encouraged me to ask the question of’ why am I here?’ from a deeper place and to open up my mind and heart to find out what it is, really. ~ Tim D., Whitehorse, Oct 3, 2024
Through Carissa's gentle and insightful process, I left feeling clear, grounded, and confident in both who I am and where I’m going. Carissa’s deep attunement to what was unfolding for me in each moment was truly remarkable and left a lasting, transformative impact. I can’t recommend her work highly enough. ~ L.

Why This Work Matters Now
When you arrive at the crossroads, or turning points in your life, how do you decide? ...What are your criteria for making these decisions? ~ The Caravan of Remembering

"This life mission work has helped me start to figure out the current I’m being pulled toward." ~ Reid P., California, July 5, 2024
Begin Your Journey
Your Golden Thread Awaits.
More than ever, people are seeking to connect with a deeper purpose—one that is uniquely their own yet also serves the whole.
If you're ready to explore your true work, navigate life's transitions with clarity, and step into a life of meaningful impact, let’s begin the conversation.
Typically, I offer a 3-4 session package to begin so you can have an experience of the process and start to see some results. People often like to shift to a pacing that works for them over a longer stretch of time. We work together on the program that works for you.
We work closely with questions in The Caravan of Remembering, and drawn from a broader reserve of life mission inquiry resources reserved for clients.

It is the nature of seeds to grow according to their destiny. An acorn will grow into an oak tree and not a fig tree, a call it is designed to answer. ~ The Caravan of Remembering
Carissa has trained with Daniel Goodenough for over 20 years, in an ongoing, ever unfolding life mission inquiry. Carissa is not stranger to change and transition, and to finding one's mission buried beneath historical identities.
Each person's journey to their life mission is uniquely theirs; Carissa deeply listens and follows the Golden Thread in her sessions, holding space for a client's clarity of articulation of their highest why and they way they are called to bring that into the world, now.

She draws on a diverse background in natural resources management (MNRM), integral psychology (MA), community development, writing, production, educational design; as well as experience in non-profit, educational, and business settings in supporting clients with anchoring their life mission vehicle of expression.
