JOURNEY WITH ME

This series of posts will take you on real-world journeys through the most magical sites I’ve found on this planet. Over the years, I’ve been blessed to explore an incredible number of sacred places, some of them well-known, some of them completely unknown. In most of them, I’ve found revelations and insights I am eager to share with you.

Oftentimes, these places offer direct access into the world of archetypes, the mythical realm where the evolution of human consciousness is forged over centuries and millennia. And yet, these “journeys” are also human and relatable, because they touch on themes that we are all dealing with in our daily lives.

ARKHÈ - The Union of Jung’s Depth Psychology wi

ARKHÈ - The Union of Jung’s Depth Psychology with Embodied Shamanism.

That’s it. I did it. We did it!

For me, this is not just another “workshop completed” post. I have been called to create ARKHÈ from scratch, a new offering that did not exist before.

A container that merges two most fundamental currents inside my being:

- the Depth Psychology and archetypal work of C.G. Jung and his successors
- The shamanic, embodied work of my Tantric studies, ISTA, and Highden.

I feel so honored to have been exposed to these teachings, and so blessed to have created something unique from them.

And it worked.

Yes, it worked.

The esoteric and psychological frameworks align.

The journey of the psyche and the journey of the soul are one.

The alchemic power of doing this work through ritual, nature, and in the body, is unparalleled.

So here I am, post-creation, experiencing an incredible sense of accomplishment, and yet feeling almost impersonal.

I didn’t “create” anything. It came through. It was guided, and I had to listen.

Thank you to the pioneers who came to experience ARKHÈ in its maiden voyage.

Thank you Nicco Gaia for being the ideal producer, vibrating ARKHÈ into manifestation together with me.

Thank you Diana, for being the most incredible partner in all aspects of life.

It is seeded!

And so it begins! ARKHÈ. My contribution to bri

And so it begins!

ARKHÈ.

My contribution to bridging the profound mastery of Jung’s analytical psychology with the embodied shamanic strand that runs deep through ISTA.

A new, alive, container of ritual, magic, exploration, and deep self-inquiry.

Many factors had to align for ARKHÈ to be born.

I had to undergo a shamanic initiation in Africa, blasting through the unseen, clunky blockages in my connection to Nature.

I had to fully step into a more mature part of my life, one that is leading me towards Marriage, the fundamental initiation of my inner Feminine.

I had to find a place that I could reach without flying, so that I could bring objects - matter - with me, and not just intention and knowledge.

I had to find the right person to birth it with! And found the perfect partner in my brother @gaiaerostemple .

But ah, the feeling of the channel opening and new content and codes being born through me... It’s what I live for.

Thank you life, thank you ISTA, thank you Jung, and all the teachers and wise beings that have walked before me.

I am ready.

Our personality is truly a wonderful thing. So se

Our personality is truly a wonderful thing.

So sensitive. So attuned. So relentlessly watching out that our needs are covered, our boundaries honored, our preferences respected.

Like a sentinel on a ship deck, constantly scanning the horizon of time, ever on the lookout for dangers and opportunities.

A functional personality helps us traverse life with less friction, and often, more “success.”

There’s really no drawback to having a highly functioning personality — except one. The capital sin of identifying with it.

As soon as “This is who I am” merges with personality, life becomes a battle against ourselves.

Because the struggle to keep us safe, fed, and on top is, in the long run, doomed.

Sooner or later, personality must decay, suffer, and fall from the rankings of attractiveness, power, and fame. It’s nature’s way.

And the life our personality curates becomes a refined hamster wheel.

The only remedy: shifting the seat of our identity into the transpersonal — and eventually, into Oneness.

Not by abandoning personality (we still need to eat!) — but by subtly relocating our “I.”

It’s messy. But liberating.

Even shifting some of our I-ness beyond personality brings relief. And surprisingly, greater impact.

(Ironic that a personality WITHOUT a strong identity is often more efficient, creative, and powerful?)

So, here’s my contribution to the ensemble of technologies that shift identity from the personal to the transpersonal.

Through the body, ritual, self-inquiry, and Nature.

Available to all in theory — but in practice, for those who’ve cultivated personality enough to afford stepping beyond it, even briefly.

It’s ARKHÈ — the embodied transpersonal journey.

If it’s for you, you’ll know.

Curious about SHA-MONEY, my 3-month Money and Fina

Curious about SHA-MONEY, my 3-month Money and Finance mentorship?

We’re still journeying deep with the first cohort, but you can already listen to the transformational experiences of the participants.

In this video, Nils shares some insights about how the course has been impacting him.

Sounds like a fit for you?

My next Money Masterclass is coming up on August 28th, and the next SHA-MONEY cohort will start on September 8th.

FIRE AND ICE: THE PIECE ABOUT ISRAEL & PALESTINE I

FIRE AND ICE: THE PIECE ABOUT ISRAEL & PALESTINE I NEVER WANTED TO WRITE

I am writing these words almost against my will, knowing they will upset many loved ones.

For years, I have been observing diligent silence on the Israel / Palestine conflict.

I have profound love and respect for the Middle East. Rarely have I been in a part of the world that I feel so vibrant, powerful, rich. Peace in the Middle East is one of my definitions of Heaven on Earth. I pray that I get to live to see it.

With that said, my honest thoughts on the current conflict are likely to upset you, whatever your “opinion” on this conflict is.

Let me first say this: if you are currently in a situation where your life actually depends on picking a side in this conflict, everything I write may sound like BS to you. I cannot claim to even imagine the pain and fear that you’re experiencing. I don’t know what I would do in your situation. I can only extend my support, grief, and blessing to you, whichever side of the conflict you’re in.

But if instead, you are a European, Australian, American, or even Israeli/Palestinian that is relatively safe, that can afford the luxury to write and read while not in immediate life danger, then this text is written for you.

I understand that waking up to the news of what is happening in the Middle East can be heartbreaking. I understand that, whether your nightmares are about the child starvation in Gaza, the plight of the Israeli hostages, or both, you may feel that “enough is enough” and that it is time to stop this.

And yet, when your legitimate feelings, heartbreak, rage, despair, fear become opinions, when your language becomes some version of “everybody should see what I see, and if they don’t, they’re either dumb or inhuman,” you’ve completely lost me, and with respect, I will tell you, again and again: you will not drag me into your drama.

Look: even though I haven’t experienced firsthand the horrors of Gaza or Ukraine, I have been involved in my fair share of violent conflict.

INITIATION I just emerged from an initiation. I

INITIATION

I just emerged from an initiation.

I don’t use this word lightly. I’ve done my fair share of transformational processes, seminars, retreats, and containers.

But initiation is initiation.

The one that goes through it, never comes back. A new self returns.

I had to gather all of my resources. I had to meet the reality of who I am.

I didn’t get to have it my way, fine-tune the process to my standards, or “go at my own pace.”

It’s been humbling, hard, and at times scary.

And on the other side of it, I’ve received all I could have dreamt of, and more.

The pieces and revelations are still landing, deeply imprinted in my cellular memory.

I’m in a sense back to square one, a new toddler learning to walk again.

It’s magical.

I’m beyond grateful for what this first step will mean for me, my close ones, and beyond.

I’ve given it all I had, and it was enough.

And now, I am basking in the receiving.

It is done.

There’s only one meaningful choice in life, he said

You can join the forces of Light

Or you can join the forces of Love

—

If you choose Light, you’ll dedicate your life in service

To the elevation of human consciousness, constant refinement, sublimation of the gross

To purification and ascetic contemplation

This is the Straight Way, which will take you higher and higher

You will be held by the Clerics, guided by the Saints

Doing your part for the Perfection of Humankind

Some will call you a dead bone, a fanatic, a prude

But you will learn to pray for them, too

Until you offer your last breath

—

If you choose Love, you’ll dedicate your life in service

To the enlargement of the human heart to contain it all

To the embodied experiencing of every facet of humanness

Not shying away from the temples, the markets, or the back alleys

You will embrace it all, accept it all, love it all

This is the Windy Way, which will take you deeper and deeper

You will be held by the Courtesans, guided by the Mystics

Doing your part for the Wholeness of Humankind

Some will call you a renegade, an impious, a lowly

But you will learn to love them, too

Until you offer your last breath

THE EMOTIONAL GAME OF MONEY If you are invested i

THE EMOTIONAL GAME OF MONEY

If you are invested in any kind of financial market, I’m sure you have experienced some strong emotions in the last couple of months.

Between February and April, the S&P500 stock index fell by up to 19%. Tech stocks and crypto have been down even more.

What did you do during these big market swings? Did you panic-sell? Did you hold steady? Did you buy more?

Or did you choose not to get involved at all and stay on the sidelines?

Those cold percentage numbers hide powerful emotions.

Markets, especially financial markets, are extremely emotional.

In fact, dealing with money beyond simple everyday use is an emotional process with a strong shamanic element.

What do I mean by that?

We go into altered states of consciousness when dealing with money. The more we are involved in investments, businesses, financing, real estate, etc, the more movements in markets will bring us into altered states, flooded with powerful emotional energy.

This is why having little or no money can be so liberating. When we don’t have skin in the game, we may feel like we have more control over our emotions and states of consciousness than when we do have money.

Conversely, those who have chosen to work with the energy of Money will inevitably experience an emotional roller coaster, especially at the beginning of their journey.

Do you have the tools to vibrate those emotions and transmute them into action?

Do you have the capacity to see market volatility as an upsurge of life force, and surf the waves of the markets instead of drowning?

We are in a time when markets are highly volatile and emotionally charged.

If we choose to engage with markets, we need to make sure our emotional and shamanic body is resilient enough to handle the movement.

This is part of what we’re going to explore in my upcoming MC on Money.

We will access tools from embodied shamanic work, financial knowledge, and an approach that sees Money as a life force—dancing between polarities, always in search of a dynamic equilibrium.
