Ontodelic Inquiry
Introductory Facilitator Training
Module 1 Heart of Transformation
Module 2 Reclaiming Lost Fragments
A laboratory of consciousness evolution and an etheric temple of practice
Welcome to your fellowship of practitioners who feel called to go all the way down into the unconscious, the karmic storehouse - in ourselves and with those we serve – and to do so in a field of love, skillful impeccability, and radical alchemy.
Ontodelic Inquiry uniquely bridges leading edge neuroscience, somatic psychotherapy, and the unity experiences of the Self.
Unlock Profound Transformation:
Elevate Your Practice + Guide Clients to Lasting Change
This introductory training is for: psychedelic guides, integration coaches, healers, therapists, yoga teachers, & those dedicated to holding transformative healing spaces
Maybe you’re looking to start a one-on-one practice that reaches beyond the surface, diving into the subconscious body-memory where profound, lasting change occurs.
Perhaps you're feeling the limitations of surface-level approaches, and you’re longing for a way to access + work with the unconscious more effectively.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed or uncertain about how to hold the intensity of deep emotional experiences or trauma-memory responses in session — wishing you had more embodied tools to meet those moments with confidence and care?
Are you missing effective somatic techniques to help clients fully integrate their psychedelic experiences into their body and nervous system?
Maybe you are noticing unresolved trauma in yourself that may be affecting your ability to hold space for others and feeling unsure how to move forward.
Or perhaps you're feeling stretched thin, burned out from the weight of holding space, and searching for a more sustainable way to support both your clients and your own well-being.
Do you want to make a deeper impact with the people you serve?
We often say, ‘We can only take our clients as deep and far as we’ve gone.’
This introductory training is designed to support you in doing just that. As a guide-in-training, your own self-knowledge is as crucial as the techniques you’ll learn. This program equips you with the tools to explore and transform at a deeper level, empowering you to lead your clients through their own profound journeys of change.
The Field We Create Together
In Ontodelic Inquiry, we practice within a living field of collective devotion… an etheric village of becoming where each person’s presence shapes the whole.
Here:
• Each practitioner’s unique soul-light becomes a living thread in the fabric of the shared field, contributing to the foundation of what we are building together.
• Every question, shadow, and friction that arises is understood as belonging to the field itself… not something to assign to an individual to “fix,” but shared material for collective witnessing, maturation, and alchemy.
• The tensions of the world, personal and collective, are met as activation points for consciousness evolution, invitations toward deeper embodiment, responsibility, and love.
Our labs, circles, and trainings are designed as initiation containers of unwinding and remembrance, spaces where:
• We break into triads and dyads to explore the subtle artistry of attuning nervous systems to one another.. learning how regulation, resonance, and relational coherence move through direct contact.
• We study and track how karmic and ancestral material often surfaces more rapidly as coherence and frequency rise, and how to meet this emergence with clarity, depth, safety, and tenderness.
• We continually refine the capacity to remain present with intensity …practicing how to be with contraction and expansion alike while staying anchored in devotion, humor, curiosity, and creative play.
The body remembers, the bones remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers. Memory is lodged in pictures and feelings in the cells themselves. Like a sponge filled with water, anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream.”
— Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Initiate Your Deep Facilitation Practice: An Introduction to Ontodelic Inquiry
Ontodelic Inquiry is a somatic approach designed for those ready to step into or deepen their calling to serve as facilitators at a profound level. This training explores the depths of body-memory, patterns, and emotions to reveal new ways of being and to complete cycles of transformation.
'Ontodelic' combines the Greek words for 'being' and 'revelation,' symbolizing the unfolding of our true selves. In this training, we draw from a grounded mix of perspectives—psychological models, cognitive science, shamanic traditions, and practical mindfulness techniques. These diverse lenses help us access the layers beneath conscious thought, offering a comprehensive approach to transformation.
Through guided inquiry and experiential practices, you'll learn to engage deeply with internal states—thoughts, emotions, memories, and sensations. This method brings hidden processes to light, transforming your perception of yourself and the world. This training is ideal for those who are ready to work with the power of the subconscious and guide others on a journey toward authentic, embodied change.
Consciousness Evolution
in Practice
To work as a facilitator of consciousness evolution is to accept certain challenges:
To walk through the developmental stages ourselves, from problem-solving, to somatic awareness, to vibrational understanding – seeing the 1:1 correspondence of inner frequencies and outer challenges.
To live as 100% creators and 0% victims in our own lives, so that we can accompany others as they move toward that same realization.
Ontodelic Inquiry is for practitioners who feel drawn to become initiates of the flame in their professional and inner lives – those willing to let their work, their relationships, and their own bodies become the very theater of expansion and transformation.
Inside the Training:
Key Practices + Experiences Awaiting You
In this immersive Introductory Training, you'll dive deep into the foundational practices of transformational facilitation:
Setting up a container: Learn to be with others and explore unconscious material through intuitive ‘experiments.’
Dynamic Practice Sessions: Participate in dyads and triads, alternating between facilitating and receiving in supportive settings.
Observe Expert Guidance: observe live demonstrations of the work and participate in guided reflection to understand the choices, tracking, and presence behind each facilitation move.
Shadow Work: Explore through the body, one’s early childhood adaptations, and the core karmic seeds of separation through Ontodelic Inquiry developing the real-time skill to track unconscious material as it lives in the body, emotions, and relational dynamics, and to support integration through somatic presence, precise inquiry, and nervous-system attunement.
Daily Themed Meditations: Ground your learning with focused, guided meditations.
Harness Psychomagic Ritual: learn to design and guide enactment practices that support embodied integration, neuro-emotional recalibration, and lasting transformation.
Learn the Language of Ontodelic Inquiry: develop fluency in the psychosomatic and visionary communication of the psyche, working with the same perceptual territories that open in entheogenic states, but through embodied relational practice.
Do Your Own Deep Work: Engage in personal healing containers that refine your nervous system, soften protective patterns, and embody your learning, expanding your real-world capacity to hold others with the same depth and steadiness at the level at which you are able to in yourself.
Discover a New Language: attune to the living speech of the unconscious through body sensation, symbolic image, and emotional movement, opening deeper connection within yourself and with those you serve.
This training equips you with essential tools and deepens your own journey, preparing you to lead others through transformative experiences.learn and practice the art of holding space, we learn to how to simply be with people, and how to work with ‘experiments’ in relation to the unconscious material.
Participants Experience a Balance of:
Theory (taught relationally through conversation and group discovery-not a lecture)
The practice and application of the tools
Direct experience through what you discover and what insights you gain between you and your partner in practice sessions..
The Symbolic Power & Art of Psychomagic + Ritual
The unconscious and mammalian part of the brain understands very deeply, prayer, incantation, and ritual.
Just as the unconscious accepts placebos, it accepts metaphorical acts. In fact, it takes a symbolic act as a fact. This adds to the depth of each couple’s transformation by working with the deep symbolic language of life and objects that relate deeply to your soul and shared soul.
Our key principles are:
Mindfulness
Presence
Leading by Following
Wisdom in the walls- Respecting, listening to, and understanding the key role of the defenses
Consentual Experiments in mindfulness (from both the conscious and unconscious)
Deep Curiosity
Interrelated-ness
The Craft of Ontodelic Facilitation
Tools & Frameworks of Ontodelic Inquiry
Ontodelic Inquiry weaves together depth-psychology, hermetic principals, energy work, prayer, intention, activation, initiation, somatic practice, dreamwork, working with the field of intelligence and group genius, into a living curriculum of transformation. Participants learn both practical skills and cross-contextual perspectives, that strengthen your intuitive abilities to so you can deepen and expand your own field as you become a vessel for healing at the nervous system, psyche, and soul levels.
Essential Frameworks for Culture & Consciousness
The Six Core Patterns — universal relational templates that shape our lives
Reading Cues for Deep Seeing — learning to perceive subtle signals in body, breath, and tone
The 7 Human Needs — a field guide to the human energy system and subconscious motivation
Intention, prayer, and myth — orienting the work within soul and sacred context
Ancestral tracking — understanding intergenerational threads and healing lineages
Developmental stages — mapping how early experiences shape present patterns
De-pathologizing the psyche — seeing symptoms as intelligence rather than flaw
Skills for Holding Transformational Space
Facilitation & communication skills — building containers of safety, coherence, and soulful unfurling
Soul tracking — following the emergent images, symbols, and longings of the soul
Tragic → Post-Tragic → Wholeness Frame — evolving from linearity, through paradox, into wholeness.
Integral development — working with opposites, worldviews, and the evolution of consciousness
Spirit & soul orientation — distinguishing between transcendence and immanence
Energetic maps — energy system of the body, relational charts, and grids of connection
Alchemy of transformation — turning wounds into wisdom, fragmentation into wholeness
Emotional body & the unconscious — tracking feeling-states as portals into deeper gknowing
Together, these tools form the living mandala of Ontodelic Inquiry rewiring the nervous system, restoring and revealing the soul’s inherent congruence.
Tending the Roots of Culture
Society has lost its compass, stuck in cycles of unnecessary suffering and one-sidedness, rooted in a materialistic worldview unconsciously driven by secular and scientific reasoning alone.
We’re facing a Meaning crisis in the aftermath of the enlightenment values. With the onset of AI and ever-increasing polarization, the pathologies and complexes that are coming out of this are further destabilizing individuals, communities and nation states. Our problems can no longer be reduced to the political or economic. We’ve forgotten the importance of the moral, soulful, spiritual, mythical ways of living and harmoniously binding individuals and collectives.
We bring facilitators on an initiatory journey inside our container for personal revelation, visionary leadership, and cultural regeneration. We explore the profound themes of human development, the urgent need for ecological awakening, and the importance of art and nature in navigating the crises of modern society.

Meet your Guides Antonia + Roger
As husband and wife, and as collaborators in this work, we are honored to steward these containers together …
We are deeply excited to support a new wave of facilitators who are discovering the flowering of the soul through the somatic wisdom of the body learning not only how to guide inquiry, but how to become the field through which healing unfolds.
We are here to support each of you in your own unique experience and initiation honoring the distinct soul frequency, and unique medicine that each of you bring.
We look forward to the collective experience of group hive-mind, our shared field of intelligence and creativity… where the combined resonance of the cohort opens healing pathways we could never access alone. Within this living synergy arise the gems of insight, courage, beauty, humor, and empowerment that belong not to any single individual, but to the village we form together.
Through devotion to our own inner presence and the relational field we weave collectively, the work ripples outward nourishing not only our personal journeys, but the communities, relationships, and worlds we touch beyond these walls.

Roger is a somatic therapist, awakening + embodiment guide, and facilitator of transformational journeys. 17 years ago, inspired by an awakening, he committed himself to a lifelong path of rubber-meets-the-road growth and sharing it with others along the way.In his session-work, the transformative power is in the catalyzing field of co-regulated presence. You can start with anything in your life that is alive for you right now. The present moment is the starting place, and looking deeply is the journey. The body and emotions are deeply affected by the shared inquiry process, as the deeper body awakens, purges, heals, and reveals its histories and secrets. Together, he navigates with you in a safe, deep and compassionate process towards naturally emergent discoveries that pivotally change one’s inner-outer experience.
Roger has been practicing + facilitating deep journeys and gatherings for over a decade, using various modalities.
Hear what people are saying:
“Learning from a master is such an incredible privilege, and Antonia is a true master. She has such an impressive breadth of knowledge and wisdom. Every lecture, every question answered and every live session was vibrant and yielded so much learning on my part.
I am beyond grateful to have had access to her both a teacher and a healer.
— Jeni Wishmeyer
“Roger is a master tracker - among the finest of minds. Yet he’s soft. There’s a patient heart to this man that naturally opens the paths of insight within me. Bountiful kudos are owed to him for facilitating a process that is as disarming and gentle as it is incisive, deep, and clear.”
— Award-winning Film Director Emmett Brennan ('Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective', 'Reflection: A Walk with Water')

Training Pillars of The Heart of Transformation:
Embodied Awareness: You will learn to deeply connect with your body’s wisdom, developing the ability to witness your internal landscape with curiosity and compassion. This enables you to experience and shift even deeply entrenched patterns.
Healing Presence: The power of being witnessed and held in this way facilitates deep, lasting transformation.
Somatic Exploration: You’ll work with the subconscious mind—the hidden architect of your thoughts, beliefs, and habits. By attuning to sensations, emotions, and energy, you will unlock profound insights, allowing the body to complete unprocessed survival responses and heal from within.
Transformational Practices: Through “little experiments,” we will explore how gentle changes in your experience—whether through movement, touch, kind words, or visualization—can reveal new pathways for healing and growth. These practices offer a unique roadmap tailored to your individual journey.
Deep Relational Work: This training is highly experiential. You will participate in live demos, dyads and group exercises, applying the tools and methods of Ontodelic Inquiry in real time, ensuring the learning is embodied and transformative.
Weekend 1: The Heart of Transformation
Inquire for Winter Dates/Regions
This first weekend focuses on building a relationship with presence, awareness, and mindfulness as you dive into the somatic layers of self-discovery. Key practices include:
Mindfulness & Awareness: Explore the foundations of presence and discover how to meet all parts in new ways that they have been waiting to be met.
Curiosity Over Defense: Learn how curiosity and intuition creates the conditions for unconscious beliefs to emerge and be healed.
Practicing Somatic Integration: Discover where unresolved trauma is stored in the body and learn techniques to release stored energy.
Experiential Learning: Participate in demos and dyadic practices, working with inner protectors, beliefs, and subconscious patterns.
Building Emotional Intelligence: Develop skills to navigate emotions and somatic responses, while learning to hold space for yourself and others.
Weekend 2: Coming Home to Wholeness
Inquire for Winter Dates/Regions
The second weekend focuses on trauma resolution and parts work, allowing you to reclaim the fragments of yourself that were lost to past wounds. Key practices include:
Trauma Healing: Understand how trauma is stored in the body and learn to complete the survival response cycle, freeing yourself from its grip.
Attachment & Parts Work: Engage with the inner parts of yourself that have been frozen psychic time blocks living from survival strategies. Learn to guide these parts toward healing and integration.
Psycho Magic & Gestalt Experiments: Experience transformative exercises that help you embody and integrate fragmented parts of yourself.
Integrating Unconscious Patterns: Free yourself from old patterns of behavior and beliefs by integrating the “missing experiences” that allow for complete healing.
Advanced Relational Work: Practice holding space for others while navigating your own inner states, deepening your capacity to guide healing.
Harness The Depths of Your Inner Wisdom:
As we journey together, you will uncover the unconscious blueprints embedded in your body, mind, and even your DNA. Your subconscious mind is like a hidden architect, shaping who you are and how you experience the world. The beauty of Ontodelic Inquiry is that it empowers you to not only reveal this subconscious coding but also recode it. The flexibility and adaptability of the subconscious mind offer endless possibilities for growth, transformation, and healing.
By working with this hidden part of yourself, you'll:
Embrace and heal your inner relationship to the multiplicities of self and develop healthy & secure attachment by unwinding behavioral patterns rooted in core wounds beliefs and adaptations.
Titrate trauma stored in the body, allowing the nervous system to begin to trust so it can complete its healing cycle.
Embrace a new way of being with yourselves and others,unlocking your potential to live more fully and freely and hold space with deeper capacities, wisdom and reverence for the emergence field.
Integrate body-mind-soul: Experience deep holistic healing through multi-level, inter-dimensional practices that leave no part of you untouched.
The Quantum Key to Your Inner Evolution
What sets this training apart is its multi-dimensional approach to healing. We integrate five key perspectives—psychological, phenomenological, scientific, shamanic, and metaphysical—to provide a comprehensive understanding of the human experience. You will learn how to hold these paradoxical truths simultaneously, creating space for the magic that occurs when different realities converge.
Additionally:
Highly Experiential: You won’t just learn concepts; you will actively apply them in real-time, healing yourself as you develop the skills to guide others.
Group Genius: Our training emphasizes collective healing, harnessing the intelligence and energy of the group to support individual growth.
Tools for Life: The practices you will learn aren’t just for this training—they are tools you will carry with you for the rest of your life, both personally and professionally.
