Hey friends,
I’ve got an exciting milestone to share: My website, drmarkpirtle.com, just got a facelift!
It’s a “soft launch," which means there are still changes to be made, but it's mostly finished. You’ll see a simplified, yet beautiful design, better flow, refined offerings, and a clearer way to access coaching and retreats. It’s the culmination of more than a year of thought and work. Please visit the site, and if you have feedback, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!
I know many of us are facing more challenges and are still pushed to do more. How we do it all without burning out is the question that keeps surfacing in my life, coaching, and retreats.
That’s why I created SkillfullyAware—a development system that integrates three powerful disciplines: meditation and mindfulness, perspective-taking, and shadow work.
When practiced consistently, skillful awareness helps people feel more present, grounded, intentional, and capable. This way of being is central to everything I do, teach, and offer. You'll see that focus is front and center on the website.
What’s New
Here’s what’s been evolving over the past year:
- A new book, The Healing Mindset: Mastering the Art of Skillful Awareness, is coming this summer!
- Three Companion Workbooks
- An all-new Project SkillfullyAware online course, split into Foundations, Intermediate, and Advanced levels
- Power Tools offerings
- A more refined and systematic approach to coaching
- Purpose-driven retreats
What’s Also New: The Seven Domains of Power
A more comprehensive application of shadow work. I’m now helping clients and retreat participants identify where they may be unintentionally leaking personal power across seven key domains:
- Physical
- Intellectual
- Creative
- Emotional
- Social
- Financial
- Spiritual
The Five Key Aptitudes
Where we identify power leaks, together, we build capacity in five key aptitudes:
- Influence – the power of presence and self-expression
- Drive – the spark of intrinsic motivation
- Perseverance – the determination and grit to work through challenges
- Achievement – the skill of completing what matters
- Alignment – the ability to pause, reflect, and re-center around your values after growth or challenge
In my experience, real change happens when we match skillful awareness with action, and these five aptitudes shine a light on shadow habits that may be holding us back.
Let’s Stay Connected
I hope you’ll check out the new site and share your thoughts. You’ll also find upcoming retreat dates, program details, and coaching options. Soon, you’ll be able to pre-order the book. Whether you're feeling stuck, curious, or ready to evolve into the best version of yourself, there’s something for you here.
Let’s keep evolving together! Thanks for being part of this community.
Wishing you abundant health, happiness, and prosperity,
Mark
