Welcome to The Reality-Creation Station

around here we believe that
Life wants to CREATE through you.

Like a magnificent train flowing through nature's landscape,
you were meant to move with power and dignity,
carried by the current of Life itself that moves through your body.

But,
if you are like for many of us,
this sacred journey often gets derailed.
Instead of flowing with Life, you might feel...

- Trapped by perfectionism and self-criticism (an imbalanced Earth element 🌳)

- Depressed or drained from constantly giving to others without being given back (an imbalanced Water element 💧)
- Burned-out or disconnected from your passion and purpose (an imbalanced Fire element 🔥)

- Lost in overthinking and anxiety (an imbalanced Air element 💨)

Who is The Conductor?

Who is leading the train of your life?

When our immature parts lead the train, they take us in dangerous routes.

Like inexperienced conductors, they burn through our sacred energy, the energy we need to create reality sustainably.

See if any of the routes below sound familiar to you:

🌳 NORTH:
The Rigid/Inner Critic's Route
When the rigid perfectionist takes control, your train endlessly circles the station of “Not Good Enough,” burning fuel on impossible standards and exhausting itself trying to reach a perfect destination that doesn’t exist.

💧 WEST:
The People Pleaser’s Route
This conductor is an over giver; giving away the train’s precious resources until there's barely enough fuel to keep moving. The journey becomes a endless cycle of depletion.

🔥 SOUTH:
The Burnt-Out Creator’s Route
Either racing at dangerous speeds until the engine overheats, or sitting idle at the station, too exhausted to move. This conductor has lost the map to inspiration’s territory, stuck between extremes of exhaustion and restlessness.

💨 EAST:
The Overthinker's Route
This conductor gets lost in the clouds, taking endless detours through "What If" valleys and "Analysis Paralysis" peaks, disconnected from the solid ground of the present moment and the body’s natural wisdom.

But what if you could help each of these parts mature?

What if, together, we could redirect your train toward its true destination: flowing with Life itself as a mature creator of reality?

Here, we guide each part of you from survival to evolution,
from control to flow.

Together, we’ll redirect your life’s train toward its true destination: becoming a mature creator of reality, in harmony with Life itself.

But, where do we direct the train toward?

Well, this is where
THE SACRED STORY comes in!

This is where it gets really exciting!

Welcome to the Reality Creation Station!

All aboard!

You are like a Tree,

meant to mature and give fruit to nourish the collective.

Below, I give you a framework for doing that.

Hi! 👋🏽

I’m RevMariela (@RogueReverent).

I am Reverent for Life,
for The Great Mother Earth,
and for the larger intelligence that moves through you,
which created universes and continues to create reality through you.

I’m a spiritual teacher, speaker, and coach with a Master of Divinity (MDiv) and a Master in Creative Writing (MFA).

My work weaves together storytelling, somatic practices, and spiritual intimacy
to support humanity on our journey toward building The New Earth.

I am here to support the humans in my circles to mature like trees,
(Upward toward Spirit and Outward toward connection).

Below you will find a map of the human psyche to help you transform your life through the process of maturation.

The Four Directions of Maturation

People arrive here with 1 (or 2 or 3) main problems:

1. 🌳 A North Problem 🌳
Rigidity / Inner Critic / Perfectionism
(Earth Element)

These challenges stem from a lack of grounding or an overemphasis on discipline and responsibility, leading to feelings of heaviness, pressure, or being stuck. The rigid structures of the mind and body prevent flow and inhibit creativity, keeping you disconnected from your natural rhythm.

2. 💧 A West Problem 💧
Over-Giving / People-Pleasing / Emotional Exhaustion
(Water Element)

A tendency to prioritize others over yourself, leaving you drained, resentful, or disconnected from your own needs. This stems from a lack of boundaries and an unbalanced hunger for connection and validation, often at the expense of your inner nourishment.

3. 🔥 A South Problem 🔥
Burnout / Over-Exertion / Lack of Passion
(Fire Element)

You may feel a deep yearning to express your creativity but find yourself either overextending to the point of burnout or struggling to ignite your inner fire. This imbalance results in a sense of emptiness, frustration, or feeling blocked in your ability to create with joy and radiate your gifts.

4. 💨 An East Problem 💨
Disconnection / Escapism / Overthinking
 (Air Element)

A tendency to live in your head, disconnecting from your body and the present moment. This flight from reality often leads to overwhelm, a lack of clarity, or a sense of being untethered from your deeper purpose and intuition.

These challenges represent imbalances in the four cardinal directions of maturation, and through this work, we learn to:

• Find grounding and stability in the North 🌳

• Cultivate nourishment and balance in the West 💧

• Reignite passion, creativity, and radiance in the South 🔥

• Reconnect with Spirit, inspiration, and vision in the East 💨

per region

The Inner Children

1. North (Earth):
The inner child of the North had to grow up too soon, taking on adult responsibilities before their time, and now struggles to rest, play, or trust in the support of life.

2. West (Water):
The inner child of the West learned to earn love by taking care of others’ needs, leaving them unable to fully nourish themselves or ask for what they truly desire.

3. South (Fire):
The inner child of the South burned brightly with creativity and passion but was told they were “too much” or “not enough,” leading them to dim their light or push themselves to exhaustion seeking validation.

4. East (Air):
The inner child of the East found safety by escaping into their imagination or intellect, disconnecting from their body and emotions, and now struggles to stay grounded in the present moment.

HEALING

1. North (Earth):

Healing the inner child of the North involves reconnecting with a sense of safety and permission to let go of control. This child needs grounding practices that allow rest, play, and trust to emerge. Through nurturing stability and resourcefulness, they learn to receive support from LIFE itself.

2. West (Water):

The inner child of the West heals by learning to prioritize self-nourishment and emotional boundaries. They need to rediscover their worthiness beyond giving and learn to receive love unconditionally. Through self-compassion and deep listening, they regain their inner wellspring of connection.

3. South (Fire):

Healing the inner child of the South means reigniting their spark of joy and creativity while releasing the need for external approval. They need safe spaces to express their full radiance without fear of judgment. By honoring their passions and setting boundaries around their energy, they reconnect with their authentic fire.

4. East (Air):

The inner child of the East heals by grounding their imagination in their body and the present moment. They need to feel safe being fully embodied, trusting that their inspiration can be brought into reality. Through mindfulness and reconnection with their senses, they integrate their vision with tangible action.

The center is your sacred home—a space of regulation, vitality, and alignment.

Returning to Center

After healing each of the inner children,
we return HOME, to our CENTER.


This is where the gifts of all four directions converge,
and LIFE FLOWS through each of us
effortlessly, creating reality in harmony.

At the center:

• The North learns to rest and trust, allowing energy to rise naturally from a place of stability and support.

• The West feels deeply nourished and full, giving freely to others without losing themselves.

• The South radiates creative energy with ease, no longer burning out or seeking external validation.

• The East grounds inspiration into meaningful, tangible action, connecting vision with reality.


From here, you embody your aliveness, reclaim your creative power, and step into flow, where LIFE creates through you.
This is where transformation meets maturation, and where you move with the rhythm of nature, fully aligned with your purpose.

If you are ready to reclaim your nature and become a Conscious Creator of The New Earth, please book a session below.

Want to work together? Want to collaborate?

Are you Curious?

Being human is hard.

Your soul carries stories—of pain, joy, struggle, and resilience—that long to be heard.

Sometimes we need someone to listen with empathy, and sometimes we need to become that compassionate listener for our own inner parts.

Here, your story is met with understanding, not judgment, not shame.

In our safe, sacred space together, we will:

  • Gently listen to what your soul is communicating

  • Honor the wisdom of your Psyche

  • Cultivate an empathetic Inner Witness who can say: "That makes sense. I remember."

This is the path to true healing and harmony.

Methaphors that Heal

This work explores the role of metaphors for navigating the lay of the land of the human psyche.

What Does Your Inner Struggle FEEL Like?

Do you feel like you're:

  • Stuck in an endless loop

  • Trudging through thick, heavy mud

  • Spinning in circles, burning energy without progress

  • Standing at the edge of a cliff, yearning to leap but frozen by uncertainty

These aren't just metaphors—they're energetic truths your body, mind, and soul are revealing.

This work is about breaking those loops, finding momentum, and rediscovering your inner power.

Metaphors are the language of your inner world, and when you learn to engage with them, you unlock:

  • Clarity

  • Liberation

  • New possibilities

    Here, you'll discover tools to:

  • Heal deep patterns

  • Step into your sovereignty

  • Rewrite your life's story

  • Create the reality your heart & soul truly desire

Your path forward is already within you—waiting to come alive.

Healing the Layers of Freeze in the Mind/Body/Psyche

A Return to Lushness

We live in a world that causes us to harden, to become shell-shocked…

It’s like layers of freeze
take over the landscape of our mind/body/psyche.

But beneath the layers of tension, there’s a softer, freer, more relaxed YOU.

This is your invitation to return to lushness—to restore, recover, and reclaim your authenticity and the power of your vital life-force energy.

What if your body could breathe softly again, feel safe again, and open you to new possibilities for joy, creativity, and deep satisfaction?

This is

The Great Defrosting

of the Human Mind/Body/Psyche

Individually & collectively

we are moving from Fear & Freeze to Freedom & Flow.

This is a whole movement toward building

The New Earth.

This is

Spirituality

My Academic Credentials:

• Master of Divinity / World Religions (Meadville Lombard Theological School)

• Master of Fine Arts (Bennington College)

• Chaplaincy Training (Wake Forest University)

My Worldly Credentials:

I am a survivor of PTSD, Soul Loss, extreme poverty, and various forms of oppression.

I was born in Cuba and at age 21, I came to the United States as a political refugee with only the clothes on my back and a small red backpack with photos and documents. Life as a young single mother in a new country (where I didn’t even know the language) brought many challenges, but it was also a rich fertile ground for my growth/evolution.

I was also always very intellectual and spent much of my life in libraries, but in that process, I abandoned my body (self-abandonment).

Midlife arrived like a storm, causing severe damage to my “tree” (my body and nervous system). It’s a miracle I survived! Through the trauma, I lost everything, including my VITALITY.

During my recovery, however, I gained profound wisdom and skills from the top fields in healing, such as: Somatic Inquiry, Nervous System Support, Energy Work, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Depth Psychology, and Psychedelics.

I now use these tools to support you in restoring your tree back its VITALITY, ALIVENESS, and PURPOSE.

This is Your Heroic Journey from

Soul Loss to Soul Recovery 

What Soul Loss Feels like:

Soul loss is like living in a dimmed version of yourself. It can feel like:

• Existential anxiety: A persistent sense of emptiness, like something essential is missing.

• Depression: A heaviness that dulls your spark, leaving you disconnected from life’s beauty.

• Purposelessness: Wandering through life without direction, as if you’ve lost the map to your true path.

• Disconnection: Feeling cut off from your body, your emotions, and the people around you.

• Stagnation: The flow of creativity and joy feels blocked, like an untapped well inside you.

What Soul Recovery Brings:

Soul recovery is the process of coming home to yourself. It restores:

• Vitality: Your energy begins to flow again, bringing vibrancy and aliveness.

• Purpose: You reconnect with your true path, guided by clarity and meaning.

• Creativity: The spark of inspiration returns, opening you to possibility and joy.

• Connection: You feel at home in your body, deeply rooted in yourself and in relationship with others.

• Freedom: The weight lifts, and life feels expansive, full of promise and wonder

This journey from soul loss to recovery is about reclaiming the essence of who you are—your life force, your unique medicine, and your place in the web of life.

Listening with Softness

Within you exists a village;
with many parts of you wanting to be heard.

At the core of the sacred work we do here is the belief that
healing starts by softening & listening with empathy and compassion to our inner parts.

Our worldview is rooted in Animism, the belief that every living thing has anima—a sentient animating lifeforce. Through animism we experience the body as a free, sovereign being of many parts—a creature with her own needs, desires, and wisdom.

True healing begins with listening to ‘the creature’ with empathy & recognizing her pain and her hunger; true healing happens when we bring to her the depth of connection and understanding she craves; and the deepest healing happens when we let her lead with her intuition, her ancient sacred intelligence, her wisdom of old.

In a world that often teaches us to disconnect from our bodies—a world that extracts from our bodies and shames us for our true nature—we offer the antidote. Here, we teach sensitivity and compassion for your nervous system and animal nature.

This work is about embodying compassion for yourself and others, learning how to care for your body and nervous system, and participating in the creation of the New Earth—a world where interdependence, love, and collective healing are the foundations of our future.

Reclaim your Original Medicine

Heal Yourself, Heal the World

The Human Psyche is a Fascinating Realm!

When you journey inward, you encounter all sorts of people, parts, and archetypes. Together, these inner characters weave a captivating story about you and your life. But no story is as mesmerizing as the one mapped out in your astrological natal chart.

As a lover of Beauty, I can’t help but find the beauty in every natal story. Each one is mesmerizing, alive with its own sacred narrative.

I am endlessly enchanted by a good story, always waiting to be taken on a new journey.
So, take me with you—let’s uncover The Sacred Story Written in your DNA.

I’m ready to dive in!

The stories crafted by the human ego can feel underwhelming.
But the story written for you in the stars, the one shaped by the vast intelligence of the cosmos? Well, that is something else entirely. Excuse me for my EXPANSIVE taste.

I’m Mariela, a lover of great stories;
I’m Rogue Reverent, a devotee of Beauty;
I’m a Soul on a Mission: to take you on a journey to write a new narrative, a sacred narrative, with the help of astrology and narrative psychology.

this is

My Wish for You

That you get to see:

  • the beauty in your natal chart,
    • the medicine in your sacred story,
    • the perfect design of you made by the master architect of this universe,
    • the wisdom of evolution running through your veins,
    • the stories coiled in your DNA 📝🧬 
    … and it’s all waiting for You,
    THE HERO,
    to look within and befriend the parts living in the shadows
    of your beautifully-complex Psyche.
    🕸️

My wish is that you begin to FEEL
in your body
the LARGER (& more BEAUTIFUL)
story written for you in the stars.

Our ancestors knew this.
We are just reclaiming it.

This is healing.
This is medicine.

My Sacred Business is dedicated to this sacred reclaiming.

A Sacred Business Model

My business (under RevMariela or Rogue Reverent)
is a sacred enterprise, a commitment to supporting
the evolution of life on this planet.

It’s a sacred business because I believe that everything in it is sacred.

Each creation is sacred.
Each interaction is sacred.
Each dollar is sacred.

Sacred is also every ounce of my energy that goes into it,
so I engage in this enterprise in a way that supports and expands my own lifeforce,
instead of extracting from it.

I work with many people, but in particular I work with those
who want to find their original medicine, to give of their energy as a gift to the world. 

Many of the people who arrive at the doors of my Sacred Business
are altruistic humans who want to create life (and art and money)
but ethically, soulfully, beautifully, & sustainably.

A business, like a piece of art, is a creation,
just like a baby is a creation that takes time, love, and energy to nurture to her full growth.

A business, like LIFE herself, is a creation, and it’s SACRED.

Searching for

that Something Larger

Seeking the existential comfort from knowing we are not alone. That has been part of my journey of 50 years. I was looking for something that would make sense to both my mind and my body.

As an adolescent and teenager in Cuba, I attended a boarding school in the countryside, and my days started early (to go work in the fields) but before heading out, I would often gather with friends on the basketball courts in the cool, dark mornings, staring up at the stars.

I was obsessed with Greek mythology then, and with the planets, feeling a deep sense of awe and wonder for the expansiveness of the stars.

Most of us in that school were extremely poor in the material sense but rich in many other ways.

I would say that I miss those days, but those days are back, as my family moved to the countryside and we can now once again nourish our souls with that expansive beauty, awe, and wonder from mother nature and the stars.

Being Spiritual

Being spiritual, for me, is about sensing that everything around us carries spirit.

It's about recognizing the sentience and intelligence of the larger forces at play, from the energy of the Earth Mother to the celestial bodies. The planets in our solar system are not just masses floating through space; they are living intelligence influencing life on Earth, as everything is interdependent in the universe.

This understanding is ancient, known deeply by many of our ancestors. Humans have kept precise records of the stars and their influence for thousands and thousands of years. And and I believe that reclaiming and applying this wisdom is the key to building the New Earth we are committed to building.

As we reclaim these ancient teachings, we are stepping into a new spirituality that heals our existential crisis.

This form of spirituality offers us the wisdom to calm the pressure of the ego mind, to soothe and nourish our nervous systems, and to find existential comfort in knowing we are not alone in this journey.

Your Journey of

Embodied Evolution

Heal, find Purpose & Direction, using Somatic Astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys, & Narrative Psychology.

My Astro Story

For much of my life, I lived in my mind.

As a Capricorn-Sun person, I spent years dwelling in the 9th house of philosophy, constantly learning, growing, and expanding my knowledge base.

But I neglected my Taurus body and the multi-sensory experiences that ground us in the human experience. By focusing on my mind disproportionally, my body became disconnected. I experienced Soul Loss and Existential Depression for years.

I lost my energy, joy, and vibrancy.

Somedays, I even lost the will to live.
“What’s the point?” And so I had to find the point, a reason to live…and I had to reclaim beauty, the deliciousness of life.

It wasn’t until I began to fully embody my rising sign and following the wisdom of my body through Human Design, that I came back to life fully.

I realized that my body was like a creature that had become malnourished, and when I began to nourish her properly (through astrology and Human Design) she became like a peacock, and she began rising with grace and vitality.

All of this because I returned to the senses and honored my physical self, as a Taurus Rising, and learning about Venus as the ruler of my chart and a mentor to me in this lifetime.

This reconnection brought me to where I am today, committed to passing on the wisdom I gained so that other people can reconnect with and nourish “their creatures,” meaning their nervous systems.

I currently live in west Michigan, by the Rogue River, with my family and a small community of friends (humans and non-humans.)

To pronounce my name (Mariela) some people find it useful to replace the ‘R’ with a ‘D’.
