The Deep
An Intimate and Transformational Container to
Answer Questions & Move with Truth
Thank you for your interest.
Enrollment has closed and we are in session.
Do You Identify with Anaïs Nin's,
"I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living"?
Yes?
You loathe superficial fluff but crave complexity, nuance, insight, and The Deep. You want to make decisions and act in alignment with your deep truths but don’t always have the time, space, or bandwidth to explore them.
This is for you.
Welcome to The Deep!
We begin the last week of January and go for six months.
The Deep is For
My people are super-smart, intelligent, and as one former client said, "out of the mainstream but empathetic toward them". You're cut of cloth that's both very strong and quite rare. Not everyone always understands just how rare and deeply valuable this cloth is. You have a pretty strong sense of it, as do those that really know and love you. You love depth, have a slicing sense of humor, and know we find truth in the depths but also the wonderfully absurd.
What is The Deep?
The Deep is an intimate container, of no more than 12 folks, who want to go well beyond the surface or lightweight, personal development and transmute both the situational and emotional spaces we find ourselves. A greater truth from which to be in, metabolize, and navigate "these times" for folks who feel the gravity of the world and still wanting to participate within it. A place for connection with others who are big thinkers and deep feelers and can hold space for that while respecting it, too. A place for transition, beauty, grief, hope, instigation, rekindling, and compassion.
Should you be one who likes outcomes, please know this depends on what you bring. But in my work you can expect better relationships, relating, more aligned decisions and directions, witnessing, processing, values-powered leadership, making big-mama power moves, self-belief, and handling and navigating when life hands you poop-sandwiches. You'll be among an intimate community, curated for contribution, nuance, good will, and deep souls.
The Deep is a source of greater truth, nourishment, right-relationship, self-belief, and support. Knowing our truth, our deep needs, and having the perspectives of lenses and new tools, we can make more aligned and authentic decisions and get those needs met.
“The Deep was an experience that I will be forever grateful for. I felt surrounded by a group of women who were similarly interested in exploring where their life journey was taking them. Randi provided us the lens through which to examine and challenge ourselves, and prompted us to consider nuance and depth in a variety of ways. It was a refreshing change from the usual business masterminds and self-help circles - it was intellectual, personalised, and filled with layered meaning-making. I didn't know what to expect when joining, just knew I wanted to be a part of any group that Randi pulled together. I still find I am lacking the words to adequately describe the experience, except to say it helped me give space to my own thoughts and vision to see myself in ways I'd not previously. If it calls you, don't worry about trying to understand why or what it will bring you, just jump into The Deep with both feet!

Our work is an intimate container for self-discovery, reflection, and intellectual exploration with deep regard for context, nuance, and discernment. Knowing our truth, our deep needs, and having the perspectives of lenses and new tools, we can make more aligned and authentic decisions and get those needs met. With exquisite space holding, humor, and nurtured and curated community, we’ll make this happen through:
Bi-Weekly Workshops* (60 Minutes):
Delve into carefully curated topics that serve as portals into the complexities of personal and professional life.
Experience intellectually stimulating sessions, guided by a passionate facilitator dedicated to authentic exploration.
Coaching Calls as Lenses:
Uncover hidden facets of your journey through subjects and themes meticulously chosen for their thought-provoking nature.
Use each coaching call as a lens, providing a unique perspective into the tapestry of your life.
Extended Dialogue in Coaching Open Office Hours* (90 Minutes):
Immerse yourself in bi-weekly 90-minute coaching open office hours for a deeper exploration of ideas, concepts, and bespoke coaching.
Engage in thoughtful discussions that transcend the ordinary, fostering connections with fellow deep thinkers.
Global Accessibility:
Enjoy the flexibility of meeting times tailored to mutual availability, ensuring a Euro/North American/New Zealand-friendly experience.
Connect with a community of like-minded individuals from around the globe, enriching your journey.
Diverse Lenses from Ongoing Doctoral Research:
Explore a rich tapestry of subjects, including the Randi's favorite topics, enriched with themes from her doctoral studies.
Immerse yourself in a treasure trove of new perspectives and ideas, resonating with the intellectual depth you crave.
Private Coaching Sessions (Three Included):
Benefit from three private coaching sessions with Randi, scheduled at your convenience during the program.
Experience personalized guidance that goes beyond the surface, shaping your intellectual path in a way that resonates with your unique journey.
* Live workshops and call dates and times will be scheduled at a mutual beneficial and agreed upon time. For “bi-weekly” we use the definition of every other week, roughly twice a month. This is approximate, as scheduling is done around our local school schedule and Randi’s work travels. In the end, this looks like 12 workshops/lenses, 12 Coaching Open Office Hours, and three private coaching sessions.

How we make magic in The Deep.
We have a bi-weekly (two a month) 60 minute worrkshop and coaching call, where I'll introduce and teach a topic or subject which we'll use as a lens into our personal and professional lives. Lenses are subjects and themes where I
Looking through these lenses, there will be (roughly) bi-weekly coaching open office hours. The lenses will include some of my favorite subjects AND also a whole trove of new topics I am studying and researching as a part of my doctorate. Meeting times will be determined based on mutual availability and we'll make it Euro/North American/New Zealand-friendly!
-
In the workshop, I’ll present what I call a lens; a teaching or new perspective for you to look through and use to navigate your truth and make decisions from there. Lenses are chosen based on my expertise and/or interests. And I’ll pull out some new learning from my doctoral studies for you, too!
We’ll meet (roughly) bi-weekly over six months, at a mutually agreed upon time. As I schedule around our school schedule, some months we might meet more/less than others. All dates to be determined in advance. -
A hallmark and much loved aspect of much of Randi’s work is the community-learning of Coaching Open Office Hours for up to 90 minutes at a time. This time is a chance to get bespoke coaching from Randi or her appointed coach, specific to your individual situation and challenge. Coaching Open Office Hours will meet at a mutually agreed upon time and are not recorded.
-
In the fall, an optional retreat will be available to you, in/near my neck of the woods, Carmel, California.
Please note, I will cover our meeting space and food while together, but lodging accommodations and the like are not covered by the cost of tuition. The retreat, while super fun and in the spirit of our work, is optional. Retreat dates will be chosen in the spring.

Who the Heck is Randi?
Hello. My name is Randi Buckley
I’ve been coaching for 30+ years and trained as a therapist*. My undergraduate degrees are in Modern Languages, Life Sciences/Anatomy and Physiology**, and psychology. I have advanced degrees in counseling psychology and medical ethics. I am currently a doctoral student studying and researching coaching and mentoring. My coach training includes the Co-Active Institute, The Center for Right Relationship (Organizational and Relationships Systems Coaching), The Gottman Institute, and private mentorships with coaching mentors. I was studying to become a midwife when I realized that for me, that was metaphorical.
I have trained staff and/or presented at The OMEGA Institute , The Chopra Center, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Ben and Jerry’s, CANYON RANCH, served as an on-set coach for NBC-FRIENDS, Stanford University, UC-Riverside, and more. I am the creator of Healthy Boundaries for Kind People®, Maybe Baby®, and The Viking Woman Workshop. I am the Associate Dean of Skogfjorden, the Norwegian Language Village, where I have been for almost 35 years.
My clients include household names and big-brained/hearted common folk doing amazing things in the world. I hit the jackpot with parents who were not flawless, but were doing their own healing work, and raised with the mantra, do no harm, (be helpful, stand up for yourself and others) but take no shit.
As per our retreat, I am the local! I know where the good sea otter watching spots are… and more.
* Yes, I have an understanding of trauma.
** Yes, I have an understanding of the Nervous System.
Coaching & Mentoring are my raison d'être.

“Randi... you stand for everything that I value... trust, aligned transformation, authentic connection, loving community and just unconditional love (SO much unconditional love), inclusivity, non judgment and of course... context, discernment, nuance! I unearthed truths about myself that I never even knew were there and it's because you are a genius at holding space -- gentle, loving space -- for hidden gifts, magic, skills to rise up. Most important... you're not afraid to shine a light on the darkest spaces within ourselves: the hidden longings, the regrets, the heartache; allowing all of these come together in a tapestry of wholeness and full acceptance of Self. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
