Hi there!
My Name is Mariela, and I dream of
The New Earth
(a future society of humans who are healthy, free, and who identify themselves as Conscious-Creators of reality.)

The New Earth of my dreams is a world where humans and nature work together (and when I mean Nature, I also mean the nature that moves through us.)

My Vision, My Values, and My Work reflect my commitment to this dream.

I believe:
I am a Creator, the child of a Creator, here to Create reality.

I believe you are a Creator, the child of a Creator, here to Create reality.

I believe that we can create the life we came here to create, but authentically, sustainably; and for that, healing is necessary, healing from the thousands of years of unhealthy social conditioning.

We humans need to find SAFETY in our nervous systems before we can become sovereign creators.

I believe in our power to Create & Change, &
to Create Change.

My work is at the intersection of Spirituality, The Nervous System, and Reality-Creation.

I create exquisite digital containers for nervous system support, embodied spirituality, subconscious reprogramming, and conscious reality-creation.

The name given to me at birth was Mariela (some people find it useful to replace the ‘R’ with a ‘D’ to pronounce my name.)

Professionally, I go by Rogue Reverent, and I’m both, deeply spiritual and deeply creative, with an MFA (Masters of Fine Arts) and an MDiv (Masters of Divinity.)

Some people would call me a “Dreamer” and a “Visionary,” and while dreaming as a child was beautiful, as a healthy empowered adult having DREAMS and VISIONS give us DIRECTION and PURPOSE in life.

My dreams are of us (of you) living your True Nature.

I’m here to invite you on a journey toward your Evolutionary Flow, your evolutionary purpose, your hero’s journey (the ancient rite of passage that all humans must pass through to become healthy mature adults that contribute to society & their eco-systems with their original medicine.)

Consider this your call to adventure!

The work I invite you into is the modern version of the hero’s journey, with ancient & modern tools, rituals, and strategies from:

  • Narrative Psychology

  • Evolutionary Philosophy

  • Somatic/ Embodiment /Nervous System perspectives

  • Subconscious Reprogramming

  • Human Design

  • The Gene Keys

  • & other tools to support your transformation 🦋

During my 50 years on Earth I have traveled high and wide searching for the tools, practices, and philosophies to support my mission of alleviating human suffering.

In 2020 I received my Master of Divinity, and now I work as an evolutionary spiritual teacher, speaker, and coach.

Why Rogue Reverent?

Once upon a time, I lived out of integrity with my nature, and I lost myself and betrayed the wisdom of my body in the process.

Then, when I turned 50, I changed my professional name to Rogue Reverent, because I don’t want to follow the rules of the systems anymore; I follow my body/my nervous system/my inner authority. And I teach others to do the same.

I’m not a Reverend. I am Reverent: for the lifeforce that moves through me, for the creativity of the cosmos that created galaxies and solar systems (and me & you), for my ancestors, and for The New Earth we are building. 

In the summer of 2023, I was in the emergency room with a hypertensive crisis, and I made a promise: that if I didn’t die, I would share with the world The Magic that I was finding (and falling in love with & lifting me from my EXISTENTIAL DEPRESSION.)

I see this Magic as a Love that is part of the larger web of universal intelligence, a benevolent sentient force that moves through every living thing.

That is what brings me HOPE, and that is what I teach professionally as Rogue Reverent.

To me, this Energy is Spirit, it’s Magic, it’s a guiding force that can carry us toward The New Earth, but many of us have lost touch with it.

My work tries to reconnect us all to that FORCE OF LOVE, through our bodies/our nervous system.

Hello Bright-Eyes

Some people used greet me like that.

“Hello Bright Eyes!”

Because inside me lived a little girl who has that sparkle in her eye. ✨

It wasn’t until I lost that sparkle that I came to understand what that sparkle means in someone’s eyes.

It’s their VITAL LIFEFORCE.

I am DEVOTED to that LIFEFORCE, in all of us.

That’s my motivation in life. 

I ask myself: “how can I get people to that, as fast as possible (and as easy as possible)? 

As a Manifesting Generator in Human Design my MO is finding shortcuts and making things fun 🤩 …so as a spiritual teacher I said, “there has to be an easier way, a faster way, a more enjoyable way out of suffering,” so I went Rogue and found another way. 

That’s what I share with you: wisdom that is delicious & delightful to regulate your nervous system and to inspire you to live according to your nature, the life force that moves through you.

I teach you to understand and to harness that lifeforce, which becomes the sparkle in your eye.

My background

I was born and raised in Cuba under extreme poverty, abuse, neglect, and rejection. From the beginning, my life journey has been one of tremendous struggle but also of tremendous opportunities and growth. I'm a cyclical being and have been called a Phoenix multiple times because of my capacity to rise and start again. That is part of my Incarnation Cross in Human Design (54, 53, 32, 42) which is all about Growth and Transformation, Birth and Rebirth.

Life in the United States

 I came to the United States as a political refugee in 1995 at the age of 21, and as most immigrants, I felt that we are not given an opportunity like this one to waste it. So, I learned the language, the culture, the system; I worked and studied hard (two master degrees and various certifications.) I did everything by the book, but I was left burnout, grief-stricken, and traumatized, because the current systems are like a machinery that inflicts tremendous harm to our nervous systems.  The trauma I experienced under systems of oppression (and the journey through the underworld that followed) opened my eyes to human suffering in a completely different way.

My experience with trauma and oppression, as well as my journey of liberation, inform and propel my current work, which is about giving birth to projects and actions that cultivate warmth, compassion, peace, welcome, and resonance among all our inner parts, and all living things.
