Troy McFaul — Ishiki
Troy McFaul, known as Ishiki, facilitates 1:1 Reflective Inquiry & Thought Sessions for ordinary people who want somewhere to pause, talk, question and look at things differently.
You don't have to be broken. You don't need a diagnosis. You don't need a belief system. And you don't need someone to tell you how to live your life.
Sometimes you simply want to sit down with another person and have a real conversation.
These sessions are for people who may be questioning where they're going, caught in repetitive thinking, moving through a change or ending, questioning relationships or identity, feeling stuck in a particular way of seeing things, or simply interested in exploring thought, awareness and the way they experience life.
The sessions are based on conversation and reflective inquiry, not instruction.
Troy doesn't present himself as a therapist, life coach, healer or guru, and the sessions aren't about handing you a set of answers to follow.
Instead, the conversation creates space to pause and look more closely at what is actually happening — the thoughts, assumptions, beliefs, reactions and perspectives that can shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us.
Sometimes a different question is more useful than an answer.
Sometimes simply seeing something clearly changes the way it is experienced.
Troy is also the creator of Unaya — The Pathless Path of Awareness, an ongoing body of writing and reflection exploring awareness, impermanence, compassion, identity, thought and the ordinary experience of being alive.
His work has developed through years of observation, personal inquiry, writing, conversation, martial arts and self-protection training, and a continued willingness to question what we think we already know.
At the heart of his approach is something very simple:
Pause. Observe. Reflect.
Then see for yourself.
1:1 Reflective Inquiry & Thought Sessions
1:1 Reflective Inquiry & Thought Sessions
A space to pause, talk, question and look at things differently.
Life can become noisy.
Thoughts repeat. Relationships change. Things end. We question ourselves, our direction, our choices and the way we see the world.
Sometimes you don't need another person telling you what to do.
Sometimes you simply need somewhere to sit down and talk.
These one-to-one sessions offer a space for direct conversation and reflective inquiry — without judgement, instruction or the expectation that you need to arrive with a particular problem to solve.
You bring whatever is present for you.
We talk about it.
We question it.
We look beneath it.
There may be answers. There may not.
There may be silence, laughter, disagreement, uncertainty or moments where something becomes clearer simply because it has finally been spoken about.
What might we explore?
Every conversation is different, because every person is different.
You might want to explore:
Where you're going and what you actually want
Repetitive or persistent thinking
Change, endings and uncertainty
Relationships and connection
Identity and the way you see yourself
Feeling stuck in a particular way of seeing things
Beliefs and assumptions you have carried for years
Awareness and presence
How thought influences your experience
Acceptance, letting go and responding to what is happening
Or simply something you've been thinking about and want to talk through
You don't need to know exactly what you want to explore before you arrive.
This isn't about giving you answers.
Troy doesn't present himself as someone who has the answers you need.
The intention is not to fix you, change you or tell you how you should live.
It is to create enough space to pause, observe and reflect — and to examine what is actually happening for yourself.
A different question can sometimes be more useful than another answer.
From individual conversation to satsang
The same spirit of inquiry can also happen in a small group.
Satsang is often translated as being in the company of truth. For Troy, it isn't about doctrine, hierarchy or following a teacher.
It is simply people coming together to question, listen, reflect and look honestly at life.
Satsang without the ceremony.
There may be conversation.
There may be silence.
There may be disagreement.
There may be questions without neat answers.
The point isn't to reach the same conclusion.
The point is to look together.
The foundation
At the heart of this work is a simple invitation:
Pause. Observe. Reflect.
Then see for yourself.
The sessions aren't about adding another layer of beliefs or spiritual ideas to your life.
They're about creating enough space to meet your own experience more directly.
Other conversations
Alongside 1:1 sessions and satsang gatherings, Troy may also facilitate:
Small-group discussions
Community conversations
Guest talks and discussions
Educational conversations
Retreat gatherings
The format can change.
The underlying intention doesn't:
Create space for people to stop, look, question and reflect for themselves.
The Unaya Path: The Pathless Path Of Awareness ©2026 Troy McFaul
What is Unaya?
Unaya © (pronounced “Oo-nah-yah”) is a pathless path of awareness.
It is a way of moving through life without needing to turn awareness into another belief system, religion, philosophy, or set of rules.
Unaya begins with something very simple:
Pause. Observe. Reflect. Flow with life accordingly.
Rather than immediately reacting to what happens, we pause and notice what is actually taking place — within ourselves, around us, and in our relationship with life.
Thoughts arise. Emotions arise. Circumstances change. People come and go. Happiness appears. Loss appears. Anger appears. Fear appears.
All of it can be observed.
Through this simple observation, we begin to see something that is easily overlooked: life is constantly changing, yet awareness is already here to witness it.
Unaya does not ask you to accept a particular truth. It does not require belief in a creator, God, higher power, energy, vibration, or any other fixed explanation of existence.
There is nothing to join and nothing to become.
It is simply an invitation to look.
At the heart of Unaya
Awareness — Noticing what is happening rather than living entirely through unconscious reaction.
Presence — Meeting life as it is happening, rather than constantly living in memory or anticipation.
Impermanence — Recognising that everything changes. Nothing remains exactly as it is.
Interdependence — Seeing that nothing exists entirely on its own. Our lives, actions, relationships, and experiences continually affect one another.
Compassion — As awareness deepens, our relationship with ourselves and others can naturally become less judgmental, less reactive, and more compassionate.
Lightness — Not taking every thought, problem, identity, or circumstance as seriously as the mind tells us we should. Life can be difficult without requiring us to make it heavier than it already is.
Unaya is not about escaping life, perfecting yourself, becoming spiritually superior, or finding some final state in which nothing ever troubles you again.
You will still get angry.
You will still become frustrated.
You will still make mistakes.
You may still burn the fucking dinner.
The difference is that these things can become experiences to observe rather than identities to become trapped inside.
Unaya is not another cage to replace the one you have just escaped.
It is simply an open door.
Pause. Observe. Reflect.
Then live.
