Today we’d like to introduce you to Connor Link.
Hi Connor, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I came to this work through rock climbing. For more than a decade I coached a youth competition team, adults one-on-one, and eventually rock climbers in the outdoor areas I traveled to full-time. Rock climbing was the entry point. What kept pulling me back was the deeper work underneath it: helping people meet fear honestly and stay connected to themselves while they moved through it.
Over time it became clear the work wanted a wider room. The same questions show up in a career change, a grief, a relationship, a quiet loss of faith. The same questions we end up asking ourselves. Make Meaning is where I sit with those questions now: a steady 1:1 practice for people in a season of change.
The foundation of my practice comes from a process I developed for exploring and naming your core values, the quiet commitments underneath the choices you keep making. Knowing them changes what’s possible to decide.
My training comes from a lineage of Peruvian shamanic practice. A system called Imetics, developed by Dr. Armand Bytton, that I’ve been studying for six years. In session it mostly looks ordinary: conversation, attention, a few simple practices for the body and the breath.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
A big struggle that I’ve been exploring is the difficulty of explaining what intuitive healing is. Since it is so personal and dependent on each individual person. A big part of the difficulty is that you are trying to explain an experiential space. Another hurdle is the process of developing a business without social media – which is something I’m committed to.
As you know, we’re big fans of Make Meaning. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I help guide people back to themselves – while also providing them with tools for curious exploration. So in the end, they can connect to their values and make meaning they feel aligned with. My facilitation work is very unique and interesting because what we do for each session may look different every time. It is highly dependent on each person and what support they need in the moment. This allows me to show up as myself and lean deeply into the gift of curiosity.
Any big plans?
I plan to connect with more people and practitioners. I’d love to build a network of all kinds of different practitioners that are co creating and working together.
