welcome to eastern sun,
my name is rico
In the dark night of the soul
Bright runs the river of God
My name is Rico Sol, and I struggled with addiction & codependency for much of my life. As a result, in my mid-30s, my life was turned upside down. In hindsight, this resulted from default, unconscious behaviors, and an inability to be fully honest with myself and those around me.
Gratefully, through various avenues, including Anonymous Groups, rehabilitation support, coaching, breathwork, meditation, and facilitated journeys with plant medicine, I have been able to overcome my habits, hurts, and hangups and have gone through immense transformation as a result of reaching rock bottom.
I chose coaching and facilitation to help others do the same.
my story includes…
Addiction > recovery
Codependency > secure relating
A 10-year marriage that ended as a result of my hurts, habits, and hangups
A move across the country from Colorado > Rhode Island
A reckoning of what my gifts are calling me to do and be in this world versus the cultural voice in my head telling me what I “should” be doing
What do all these things have in common? They were the path to my greatest transformation and evolution.
And guess what? You don’t have to wait for pain to step into transformation!
I am human
I am still healing
i am here to serve
I’m also human and will forever be on this path of growth and transformation. How boring would life be otherwise?!
This means that I can relate when life gets hard for my clients. I am having a human experience and have overcome many hardships. Because I know I will never reach the summit of transformation, I am forever experimenting in my life with new and useful tools to help me on my journey. I often incorporate these tools into 1:1 coaching and group programs.
