Hi, I'm Cleo.
I think I'm born a seeker. As a young girl, uprooted from the Netherlands and growing new roots in Norway with my family, I was already searching for answers: who am I? who should I be? what is my purpose? where am I going? Born with six planets in retrograde, perhaps that was always what I was here to do...
Always looking for a felt sense of identity, which was never here but always somewhere else, nothing ever really felt enough. I never felt enough.
It was during one of those familiar thought races — deep in another loop of chasing answers — that I chose a different path...
I booked a tiny house in nature by the sea, turned off my phone, and set the intention to really listen and let nature guide the way.
That afternoon, I sat on the beach, and watched the waves roll in... and there it was. I felt my Being. A glimpse of truth whispered, “THIS is me!” I laughed. All that searching and trying, and there She was, all along.
And so, my journey home began.
From that moment, my inner experience of who I was changed completely — and so did the way I saw everything around me. I began noticing what was not aligned with my true nature: where I lived, what I owned, how I worked, what and how I consumed…
I dove into ancient wisdom from the Seers of the world… the mystics, philosopher’s, poets, and wisdom keepers. This eventually led me to the Kundalini Yoga School. The moment I discovered their teacher training, I felt a deep hell yes in my belly. I knew, this was it.
As I peeled away old imprints that had shaped my reality, I began to remember who She was beneath it all.
In that remembering, I started letting go of the old. Selling my things, leaving the city, leaving my job, and embarking on a pilgrimage, my Heroine’s journey.
The more I leaned into Her guidance, the more life began to flow. My heart coherence strengthened, and I received everything and more…
I still carry all my stories. They haven’t magically disappeared. They are my colours, my twists, my spiral, my volumes of living. they show up in my passions, my sorrows, my fears, my courage, and my creation. It’s what moves me and AH, how I love to move — to feel!
The difference now is that I no longer am them. I practice feeling them and holding space for them. With the knowing that there are always two sides of the same coin. In one minus there is a plus, in one shadow a light. Together they are whole.
With moai, I aim to guide you on your own journey home — whether through yoga, journaling, literature, music, art, nature, myth, conversation, be-ing, or whatever else I’m exploring that may serve you too.
I am both student and teacher, forever learning, and perhaps forever… a seeker.
