You've read the books and listened to the podcasts and done the retreats, the therapy, the practices. And so many things did most certainly shift: you are no longer who you were, and where you have arrived to is, in so many ways, pretty damn good. But there is a knowing in you that won't quiet down; a sense that what you're being offered — even the good stuff — is still circling the surface of something that it never quite touches.
That restlessness and quiet discontent isn't a sign that something's wrong with you, but it is a most certain sign that you've outgrown the container: there’s only so far modern therapeutic processes can take a human being.
What you're looking for, whether you recognize it or not, isn't another framework, but a companioned descent. The kind of work that doesn't attempt to rearrange the furniture but that functionally meets you in the underworld of your own psyche—where the real metamorphosis in relation to self, other, process, mystery, and cosmos truly occurs.
This is initiatory work. It's not comfortable. It's not quick. And it's not for everyone.
But if something in you just recognized itself in these words, I suspect you are in the right place.
Traditionally-Apprenticed + Initiated Shamanic Practitioner, Psychotherapist, Mystic + Artist.
Ciel has spent two decades at the intersection of worlds most people keep entirely separate. Sixteen years of formal apprenticeship in Shamanic Medicine, two Master's degrees — in Integrative Healing and Clinical Counselling — and a lifetime of practice across Buddhist, Yogic, and contemplative traditions have shaped a body of work that is neither alternative nor conventional. It is its own thing.
What this synthesis makes possible is a particular kind of seeing. The presenting symptom — anxiety, exhaustion, disconnection, grief — is rarely only what it appears to be. It is the visible edge of a much deeper spiritual process, one that conventional frameworks can describe but not fully meet. Working across and within these traditions opens a far wider map: one that includes the allied energies of the elemental world, the wild intelligence of the body, and the movements of soul and myth.
Through this lens, the pursuit of 'healing' becomes something else entirely: not the resolution of suffering but an initiation into radical belonging, magic, and utter transformation of your identity and relational world.
You have experienced, intimately, what it is to hold complexity. To sit with the relentless and amorphous mysteries of what can't be solved, only lived.
The work ahead isn't more information, but profound, mysterious relationship: with your own depths, with the living world, with what has been waiting for you underneath and beyond everything else you have understood yourself to be.
There are many ways in. Here is where they begin:
The Inner Axis is a free introduction to the beautiful, living cosmology of this lineage.
Practices that teach you how to remember your innate + marvellous human ability to access and transform energy: to root down, to draw up, to weave within yourself, and to give back to the world around you from genuine fullness, expansive generosity, and creativity.
There is support, medicine, and essential information being offered to us in every moment.
The work of Knowing is about remembering and relearning this sacred language so that we might remember and relearn our belonging within all that is. The World misses you. Practicing Knowing brings you back.
“Such great conversations to listen in on. Wisdom, realness, whatever else you need to hear. Whatever the audio-soul equivalent is for ‘a sight for sore eyes’ is. Thank you for this stellar work.”
This 8-part audio series + supporting guidebook was made for the times when the transformative darkness arrives: crisis, awakening, emerging transformation, and the threshold moments that can, and will, either break or remake you.
We are initiated into our fullest, most powerful selves through these passages. But not alone, and not without guidance.
This is that guidance.
