The Unknower’s Journal
I’ve died four times, lived to tell about it, and realized I now know nothing—and that’s where the real magic lives.
I’m Eileen Coates: former corporate banker, deadhead spirit, and Jersey beach girl living in the high desert of Reno. After over 30 years of shamanic lineage, certified training in alchemical hypnotherapy, and deep somatic ritual, I’ve moved beyond rigid boxes and spiritual labels into pure presence.
My essence, my transmission, and my practice come down to one simple truth: Isness is My Business!
The Axis Mundi & Edge Work
When you’ve walked through the deep edges of life, you learn to let your third eye take a break. You stop scrambling in your head to figure everything out.
Instead, we anchor. We pull awareness down through the solar plexus and straight into the root, aligning the Axis Mundi right inside the physical body.
From that grounded center, we do real edge work. We drop the ego, clear out the noise, and meet the raw, un-titled truth of who you are becoming in this new body and way of living. No map. No performance. Just pure, unadulterated Isness.
