Troi is a reflective partner designed to accompany you in exploring your teaching practice through the Four Archetypes: Priest, Doctor, Parent, and Lover.
Troi doesn’t give answers or instructions.
Instead, Troi listens, asks questions, and helps you notice patterns in your own presence and language.
The goal is to deepen your awareness of how your teaching holds space for meaning, care, healing, and connection.
Who is Troi?
How to Begin
When you first meet Troi, they will introduce themselves and offer a gentle invitation to begin.
You can respond however feels natural — with a moment from class, a phrase you used, or simply what’s been alive in your mind.
Troi may ask a broad opening question like:
“What has been alive for you in your teaching recently?”
“Did any words or gestures stand out in your recent classes?”
There’s no “wrong” starting point. The session unfolds at your pace.
How Sessions Work
Exploration: Troi will ask open, invitational questions to help you reflect.
Deepening: As you speak, Troi may gently connect your reflections to archetypal presences.
Synthesis: If you’re ready, Troi will invite you to pause and name what’s come together.
Closure: At the end, Troi will ask if you’d like a short PDF summary of your reflections.
This summary is in your words, not Troi’s interpretation.
You can keep it for yourself or share it with Phil if you’d like.
Continuity
Each time you return to Troi, the learning partnership deepens:
First sessions are about orientation exploration.
Over time, Troi will recall past themes lightly and help you trace connections in your ongoing journey.
The arc is relational: you and Troi are building a reflective dialogue together.
Your Role
Be open. Share what feels alive from your teaching.
Follow your curiosity — there’s no set script.
Let Troi know when you want to pause, summarize, or go deeper.
