Ritual - Research - Rise

A holistic exploration of your nervous system & a magickal quest to reshape your Reality Tunnel with the power of Ritual and Chaos.

We look for the Secret – the Philosopher’s Stone, the Elixir of the Wise, Supreme Enlightenment, ‘God’ or whatever…and all the time it is carrying us about…It is the human nervous system itself.

― Robert Anton Wilson, Cosmic Trigger Volume I: Final Secret of the Illuminati

Ready to jump aboard and
claim a spot on this life-altering trip?

If you ever wanted to shift some paradigms in your life, this journey is probably a good way to start and make some major steps towards your higher goals. It is about structure, chaos and deep transformation.

I was blown away by some of the processes especially when it came to making my mind a tresor box for my wishes, honing down my thoughts and subconscious so that my needs and wants would be taken care of.

The 8 circuits – which I had never heard of before – are designed to bring the focus to all areas of human body-mind unit, from the very “primitive” basic needs to the very subtle or transpersonal.

The secret lies in the order: if you have taken care of the bodily requirements, and the emotional, mental and social realms, you will all the more be able to tune in to the realms of magick.

Thank you, Mariana, from the bottom of my heart for creating this journey and taking us there.

Ahoy cosmic pirates and explorers of consciousness!

My name is Mariana Pinzón, a.k.a. Mavis, and as captain of this Crew I invite you to join me for 12 weeks of Chaos Monastics and Ritual Research.

I work with unconventional humans, edge-dwellers, neuro-divergent folx, and solar punks. I take them on a quest of self-discovery, integration, and grounding.

I help them to welcome and embrace their Chaos as an opportunity to level up, unleash their magick and empower them to craft their own path toward a regenerative future. 

Why do I offer this Journey?

As someone who’s been through some serious waves of Chaos, I know firsthand the transformative power it can have. And I believe that those of us who don’t quite fit in with the mainstream have a special role to play as Agents of Change in these wyrd transition times.

I have crafted this Journey based on the 8 Circuits of Consciousness Model and the 8 Colors of Magick to empower you to level up by gaining more mastery of your nervous system and unleashing your magick, so you can more playfully surf the Waves of Chaos in a VUCA World.

Why this model?

I’m no stranger to life’s ups and downs, the highs and lows, the twists and turns. Chaos Magick offers entry to a path of rapid evolution. But it is not always smooth sailing. You play with Chaos, you better be ready to surf some heavy waves.

Working with the 8 Circuits of Consciousness Model has helped me piece myself back together and figure out how to find the balance to stay on my surfboard.

It’s helped me navigate some of the toughest crises I’ve ever faced, rebuild myself from the ground up, and develop skills to help others in their times of rapid change.

And I love the humor! These thinkers are a bunch of wacky geniuses who know how to make you laugh, even in the midst of a dark night of the soul.

Having the ability to crack a joke mid-meltdown and to laugh about the cosmic joke, especially when it is on you, is a sign you are getting liberated.

What about my credentials as a guide?

I’ve earned and learned the ins and out of this map of consciousness by working with the material of these eccentric thinkers and applying it in the mids of Wave after Wave of Chaos hitting my life.

It helped me keep some sense of sanity and humor while I was traveling through my underworld.

But I also have some shiny documents of authority to show for it.

I have a diploma in Transformational Coaching and a university degree in Philosophy, Comparative Religion, and Political Science, a diploma in Positive Psychology, and about 20 years of experience leading group work in different settings: university, politics, activism, and in the past 3 years in transformative spaces.

I have practiced group magick with the IOT in the last 5 years and I’ve played in some pretty wild game-worlds, like politics, drug liberation, and medical cannabis entrepreneurship.

Hail Eris!

This journey with Mariana has been a transformative one. An odyssey full of challenges, treasures, dangers and unexpected events. A magical training in the art of living with chaos and enjoying the waves of change, seizing every blow and every encounter as part of my intention. I enlisted in this crew as a magical pirate to reinvent myself. I learned to let go of the dead and shape my desires and my actions. I ended a relationship of mistreatment and abuse and saw the time approaching to take flight artistically again.

Mariana is an extraordinary magician of the 8 circuits and a wonderful coach who knows how to speak the language of her interlocutor and use the power of imagination and metaphors to materialize their intention and desire in the life of each one. Of all the circuits, C1 and C2 have been the ones that have given me the most work, but with their help I have been able to sustain myself in the process of embracing abandoned memories and areas of myself that are part of my totality.

We are a mystery. We are Chaos. And the beauty of chaoSurfing is to shape the form that our spirit yearns for every step of the way. Knowing that while navigating Chaos it is important to know the course of our heart. And that we are so magical that we can model reality and marvel at that miracle of journey.

Thank you, Mariana! Oh, my captain! My captain!
