Rinu grew out of my early-life awakening and has become a digital resting place for connecting to those on their way home to themselves. The name echoes the Yoruba term Ori Inu, pointing to the “realm of the inner head.” Jung called this the Self. Some arrive here for a life path reading or for spiritual companionship. Others for the candles. At its core, Rinu is about light— how it moves through us, and how we engage with it.
Just as we study biology to understand the physical body or psychology to understand the mind, my work focuses on demystifying the energy body. I aim to bring an embodied approach to spirituality for 21st-century evolution, reflecting people back themselves through the intelligence of their energy body. My lens is shaped by a decade of consciousness studies, including Nondualism, applied mediumship, archetypal symbolism, and the system of Human Design.
The candles began as a grounding hobby while my head was in the stars, eventually becoming a devoted practice of learning fire while learning myself. They are my reminders that light doesn’t need to be lofty; it can also be imperfect, sitting on the counter next to yesterday’s coffee mug. If you’ve found yourself here, please feel free to reach out. My inbox is always open.
