Rinu echoes the Yoruba term Ori Inu, pointing to the “realm of the inner head.” Jung called this the Self; others call it consciousness, nature, or spirit.
Just as we study biology to understand the physical body or psychology to understand the mind, my work focuses on demystifying the energy body as an anatomy of consciousness. I aim to bring an embodied approach to spirituality for 21st-century evolution, currently using Human Design to reflect people back themselves with mystical sight. In practice, this looks like sitting with the energy of your birth chart and questions before channeling what is present in your energetic blueprint. My lens is shaped by a decade of consciousness studies, including Nondualism, applied mediumship, archetypal symbolism, and the system of Human Design.
Rinu grew out of my own awakening and has become a digital resting place for connecting to those on their way home to themselves. Some arrive here for readings or spiritual companionship. Others for the candles. At its core, Rinu is about light— how it moves through us, and how we engage with it. The candles began as a grounding hobby while my head was in the stars, eventually becoming a devoted practice of learning fire and 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. I move through all things as a lifelong student of consciousness, committed to looking at life through as unconditioned a lens as I can hold. If you’ve found yourself here, you’re welcome to wander or to reach out. My inbox is always open.
