Welcome to "Working with People," a Substack dedicated to exploring the intricate journey of healing, personal growth, and authentic living. I'm Oriya, your guide on this path of self-discovery and transformation.
Who Am I?
I'm a healer, storyteller, and former urban shaman with a unique journey that's taken me from the streets of Israel to the heights of Silicon Valley, through the depths of addiction, and into the realm of psychedelic exploration. My path has been marked by both profound mistakes and invaluable insights, all of which have shaped my approach to healing and personal development.
What's This Substack About?
"Working with People" is more than just a collection of stories or self-help advice. It's a living, breathing exploration of what it means to be human, to heal, and to help others heal. Here, you'll find:
My Personal Journey: Raw, unfiltered accounts of my experiences, including my struggles with addiction, my time as an urban shaman, and my ongoing process of self-discovery.
The 12-Beat Framework: I've developed a unique storytelling framework for understanding and facilitating personal transformation. Each beat represents a universal stage in the journey of healing and growth.
Practical Insights: Lessons learned from over 100,000 hours in altered states, years of facilitating healing for others, and my own ongoing healing process.
Community Dialogue: This isn't a one-way street. I invite you to share your own stories, insights, and questions as we build a community of seekers and healers.
Why "Working with People"?
The name "Working with People" reflects my lifelong passion and the core of my work. It's about the profound, challenging, and ultimately rewarding process of connecting deeply with others in service of healing and growth. Whether you're a therapist, coach, healer, or simply someone on your own journey of self-discovery, this Substack is for you.
