What it is

A genuine edge
deserves genuine company.

You've done enough inner work to know that the prescribed frameworks - the therapies, the practices, the productivity systems, the spiritual programs - have been helpful, but you want something that's your own. There's a territory you can feel at the edge of your life, an understanding that keeps surfacing in your body before your mind can catch it, a way of being in the world that seems both more honest and more nourishing than what's currently available.

The Clearing is a six-week intimate salon for a small cohort of people ready to think and live more deeply inside that territory together & with genuine intention.

We'll make space for you to surface and develop your own framework: your own understanding of what the world is,what your life is for, what you actually know and have found through experience, in order to find language for what you already sense, and to trust it enough to live from it.

This is not a workshop with a generic curriculum. It's closer to a table where the conversation has real substance because everyone at it has been selected for their care & wisdom. I will bring something alive from within my own framework and the practices that animate this work. You'll bring your own inquires and experiences. The exchange between them is the beauty of what's to come.

Who this is for

Not a workshop.
Not a support group.

The Clearing is for those already living at an edge — people for whom the available frameworks have been close but not quite enough, and who are ready to go further in genuinely good company. You might be:

What you won't find here: urgency, self-improvement rhetoric, or pressure to arrive somewhere by the end. What you will find: genuine company, unhurried exchange, and a quality of thinking that takes the full complexity of an embodied human life seriously, and that trusts that you know more than you think you do.

The arc

Three sessions.
Six weeks.

Session one

Arrival & ground

Where are you actually, and what has brought you here? Honest mapping of the territory each person is navigating. The cosmology as a shared orienting frame: what it means to understand the body as wise, the universe as alive, the path as one of deepening presence rather than ascent.

Session two

What wants to move

Attending to what is already alive beneath the surface of each person's life. Not problem-solving, but genuine listening — to the body, to what has been frustrating or unclear, to what keeps surfacing. Finding what wants to open rather than what needs to be fixed.

Session three

Living it forward

Integration and intention. What has clarified? What structures — practical, relational, interior — would support living more fully inside what's been found? Each person leaves with something specific and real to carry forward.

Siona works with those navigating the territories where ordinary guidance runs out. Her work is rooted in a living cosmology of embodied presence — the understanding that the universe is alive and relational, that the body is both sacred and wise, and that something more spacious is always available to us.

She holds dual MAs in Transpersonal Psychology and Jungian & Archetypal Studies, with fifteen years of contemplative practice and supplementary training in somatic therapies, depth psychology, and spiritual accompaniment. She is also an independent film producer and studio co-founder, and formerly served as CEO of Zaadz, Inc. and Director at Gaiam / Gaia.com. She works, by design, with a small number of people at a time.
