Ecstatic Self - Kaelan - Spirituality Coach - Author (2024)

You are inherently whole, radiant, and powerful. You are an incarnation of divine energy in a human body. There is nothing you could ever do to separate yourself from that radiance.

This is our journey: to remember our divinity. The road to God and the road to self are one and the same. Together, we will walk through the areas of tension, blocks, and impediments that keep you from your cosmic, eternal truth.

I began my exploration of spirituality in a traditional yogic ashram. I took a guru, committed myself to years of hard work, and cultivated my desire to grow. Years later, I have now established a robust skill set to lead others on the journey of self-reconnection.

My journey has taken me to healing centers in India, the abodes of shamans in the Andes Mountains, and the universe within. Each step along my journey has brought me a greater set of tools to be able to assist you on yours.

I view myself as a guide, an usher, a doorman. I am here to walk beside you, point out some doorways, and invite you to step through. You are the one who does the work—you know the way home. I am just here to facilitate the exploration.

This is life-changing, transformational work. You will not be the same person at the end of the journey that you were at the beginning. “The big question is,” to quote Joseph Cambell, “are you going to be able to say a hearty YES to your adventure?”

Perhaps you found Kaelan through YouTube — or maybe you encountered him through one of his books — regardless of how your paths crossed, now is your chance to join him and other soul journeyers on a four-night retreat in pastoral Vermont.

At this wintery gathering, you will embark on an adventure of soulfully reconnecting with your innermost self. Through calming meditations, heartwarming conversations, starlit hikes, chanting, and social bonding, you and the other pilgrims will laugh, cry, and “crack wide open.” You will be nestled in the snowy landscape of the beautiful Willow Retreat Center, where Kaelan and his husband lovingly support you through this spiritual transformation experience, guiding you toward tranquility and personal growth.

Activities include:

• Wintery hikes/snowshoeing
• Sacred fire ceremony
• Clothing-optional yoga
• Practices to connect with nature spirits and deities
• Mantric chanting
• Initiation into meditation techniques
• Sharing circles
• Personal narrative cultivation
• Spiritual artwork creation
• Partnered vulnerability and connection exercises
• Breathwork/pranayama
• Acknowledging and processing grief
• Ecstatic dance
• Journaling
• Practices on the integration of sexuality and spirituality

All meals are included from Thursday evening until Monday morning. Participation is limited due to space constraints of the venue; all rooming will be shared. If interested, please fill out an application stating your intent and why you think this retreat is coming at the perfect time for you. Limited scholarships are available for those wishing to attend but currently experiencing financial hardship.

This workshop will be co-facilitated by Kaelan’s husband, Anthony Gutierrez, a leader in HIV and LGBTQ+ spaces for almost 20 years. While there will be a strong focus on the queer-masculine experience, this program is open to all expressions of identity, gender, and sexuality.

Commit to your personal growth and reserve your spot today for this unforgettable wintertime escape!

Spend 3 or 6 months working with Kaelan to root deeply into your ecstatic, inner-self. Meeting for an hour weekly, Kaelan will layer in practices, techniques, observations, and exercises specifically chosen for your unique disposition, areas of need, and personal desires.

Your journey will begin with an hour-long, in depth assessment (which is a bonus session, in addition to your 12 or 24 weeks). During that time, you will envision the sorts of goals you wish to achieve. He will use his intuition to suggest areas of potential growth and personal evolution.

He will keep you on track week to week, hold you accountable, and encourage you to reach milestones. You will also be given priority access to Kaelan. You will be able to text/email him throughout your coaching journey and receive a response within one business day. After the conclusion of the final week, he will design an action plan to move forward, which he will walk you through during a (complimentary) follow-up consultation.

This is the most robust program to inspire lasting change, rapid growth, and intrinsic joy. Each coaching journey is unique to the individual and is planned out based on Kaelan’s years of expertise and experience.

• 1 — expanded, complimentary 1-hour, in-depth assessment to deeply explore needs/desires.
• 12 or 24 — 1-hour sessions integrating all aspects of spirituality, mindfulness, tantric philosophy, and embodiment practices.
• Weekly recap write-ups and homework assignments, emailed out within 1 day of previous session.
• 1 — 1/2 hour recap/road-mapping meeting to plan a route forward.
• Priority text/email access to Kae for the entirety of your 14 weeks.
• A complimentary paper copy of his book, Journey to the Ecstatic Self.

This path is for those who are new to meditation or have never explored an inclusive mediation tradition. Teaching foundational philosophy, practices, and customized meditations, Kae will assist you in establishing a robust home practice, deeper bodily connection, and a non-dualistic vantage.

He will assess your natural abilities, provide you with personally-aligned tools, and support you on your awakening journey. Possible topics could include: mantra, visualization, yantras, deity work, chakras and energy, sensual spirituality, breath work, and moving meditation.

• 1 — complimentary 25-min, assessment to explore needs/desires, innate aptitude, and previous experiences.
• 4 — 1-hour sessions imparting the foundations of meditation and how to establish them into your life.
• A complimentary, digital copy of Journey to the Ecstatic Self.
