I explore the ways we connect, transcend, and heal through community, ceremony, cycles, and conscious states.

I’m Riordan Regan (they/them; formerly known as Holly). I’m a spiritual seeker, ceremonialist, artist, and apprentice of the healing arts. In this culture, I’m queer in every sense; strange, not-straight, and “neurodivergent.” In a culture with unbroken Earth-based spiritual traditions, I’d be a healer or a Bard: a wandering poet, oral historian, and walker-between-worlds. Helping people reclaim such lineage and reframe their story is my mission.

Also a PhD student at the Transart Institute for Creative Research, I explore the ways people connect, transcend, and heal through community, ceremony, and non-ordinary conscious states.

Through events, workshops, 1:1 sessions, art, journey work, and preparation/integration, I engage in lived practice-research that traces ways to re-ensoul the world for those who have forgotten. In so doing, I draw from ancestral, intuitive, Indigenous knowings, cosmologies, and embodied practices.

I seek to celebrate the divergent, normalize the paranormal, and bring what has been hidden into the light. Together, let’s rediscover a world alive with spirit and imbued with meaning, where every single part of us belongs.

The Place Between Worlds

I move between ritual, art, and research, aiming to make the invisible visible and bring what has been hidden into the light. My mediums include ceremony, altar practice, meditation, medicine work, consciousness exploration, astrology and timekeeping methods, journaling, drawing, and performance. These are tools for remembering—ways to reconnect the parts of us severed from nature, soul, and story.

Mythopoetic psychologist Carl Jung said that the artist, mystic, and alcoholic are all the same archetype. While I might resist some of the language, in this incarnation, I’ve played all of these roles. It’s just evidence of what my personal and professional practices, philosophies, and research has shown me: that we all contain multitudes, capable of embodying any archetype, given the right conditions. The key is to meet what arrives, inside and out, with compassion—what our world needs more of now.

I have learned so much through ceremonial and spiritual practices as well as ancestral, archetypal astrology and timekeeping systems. The work now is to share what I’m learning with others while continuing to heal, grow, and navigate my path.

I call this Cosmic Wayfinding: connecting more deeply with ourselves, each other, the Earth, and what’s beyond by plugging back into planetary and cosmic cycles. I offer readings, events, and workshops that lead people on journeys of rememberance using astrological charts and timekeeping methods.

With a background in anthropology, my education also includes ancestral astrology, cosmology, and timekeeping systems (Maya, Hellenistic, and pagan/esoteric) as well as modern and archetypal astrology and depth psychology. I am training in Internal Family Systems and Compassionate Inquiry frameworks—and melding it all with learned, researched, and direct experience in psychedelic, plant medicine, and shamanic/pagan spaces. Yet these approaches are simply invitations to rememberance: they help us rediscover the abilities to connect, transcend, and heal ourselves and our communities, within and without.

It’s part of my current doctoral work through the Transart Institute for Creative Research, where I weave ceremony, mysticism, astrology, art, ecology, anthropology, medicine work, and ancestral, intuitive knowledges to explore the ways we connect, transcend, and heal—alone together—on the path to re-ensoul our worlds.

Areas of Focus

  • Nature, ecology, and myth

  • Jungian, archetypal, and depth psychology

  • Mystic and contemplative traditions

Offerings

I offer one-on-one sessions, group workshops, seasonal ritual containers, and immersive creative experiences. Every offering is an invitation to return to the sacred—in body, community, + time.

I believe...

The world is ensouled.
The dead are still with us.
And every part of you belongs.
