“In any given moment, we have two options:
To step forward into growth or to step back into safety.
Growth must be chosen again and again;
Fear must be overcome again and again.” - Abraham Maslow
Hello – and Welcome to Yellow Arrow Collective!
The Yellow Arrow Collective supports individuals and groups in finding their way back into reconnection with self, others, and the world through coaching, programs, workshops, and retreats, both in-person and online.
Founded by Mary Beth Leisen, Ph.D. after walking the Camino de Santiago, a 540-mile pilgrimage across Spain, the Yellow Arrow Collective adopts the Camino’s three core tenets: (1) wayfinding and support of the ubiquitous yellow arrows that guide the way; (2) community support and connection; and (3) spirit of deeply and courageously moving ever onwards. We help people develop the skills, mindsets, and connection to cultivate well-being and create meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Customized Ceremonies and Rites of Passage
Honor Lessons of the Past and Set a Strong Intent for the Future You Want to Create
In modern society, the connection to ritual and ceremony that humans have relied on since ancient times for support, meaning, rites of passage, connection, and healing has been lost – and we are starving for it.
We instinctively resonate with ceremony – think weddings, funerals, graduations – because it’s encoded in our human DNA. These rites of passage mark the ending of one state or identity and beginning of a new one and including integrating individuals back into their families and the larger community.
Ceremonies are also used for healing and connection, to honor our environment, and to fuel our vision for what we want to call into our lives. Ceremonies are so powerful because they focus our energy and intent, operating at a mythic, energetic level to facilitate release, connection, and a sense of wholeness for individuals and their communities. Ceremonies bring people, nature, and the unseen forces of our world together in a sacred space, providing a deep, powerful – and very beautiful – conduit for transformation.
At the Yellow Arrow Collective, we partner with individuals, families, and groups to design, prepare, and facilitate custom ceremonies to honor important occasions for individuals and groups, including our Graduation Rites of Passage Program. Contact us for more information.
