Testimonials from Experiential Astrology Workshops and Training
“Daniel Sowelu is a wizard of the heart and soul, a pioneer of a new and ancient form of experiential astrology that can transform all those who open to it!”
~ Andrew Harvey, Mystic Scholar and Author of 37 books
“I have worked with and studied under Daniel Sowelu for nearly 4 years now. The experiential archetypal astrology sessions I can truthfully say have been the most effective deep somatic therapeutic work I have ever undertaken in 35 years of personal work. Daniel is a teacher and astrologer therapist with clean trustable energy and pristine integrity appropriate to the deep space he holds. After years of feminine energy exploration work I have met the real deal through Daniel’s work. If it’s not already obvious, I more than highly highly recommend.”
~ Tosey Blayney RN, intuitive reader, astrologer, decolonising and diversity educator.
“I’ve been extremely fortunate to journey with Daniel’s guidance in Experiential Astrology over the years. This has helped me to not only expand on my knowledge of the archetypal wisdom from the ages, but also my understanding of Self in a much deeper, primal way. I find myself journeying regularly in the wheel to gain an understanding of where I am at in my life, and I enjoy sharing this modality of ritual with others, particularly at times of greater cosmic influence, like on the Full Moon and during eclipses. It’s one thing to give an astrological reading to someone on their Soul’s Blueprint, but it’s another thing to guide someone through their own experience of what their Soul connection to the Cosmos and Source is relaying to them. Daniel has a unique way of sharing this magic with others. I highly recommend his teachings.“
~ Jack Miller, Experiential Astrology Practitioner
“One of Daniel’s ‘tags’ in Perth was ‘the Chiron man’, in reference to his extensive work and study into the ‘wounded healer’ archetype of Chiron. His many workshops on Chiron were run with the greatest therapeutic care, boundaries and awareness of the psychological vulnerabilities that people would often experience during these healing and dynamic workshops. Daniel’s genuine care and professional awareness of the complex dynamics of group work engendered trust and created a ‘safe place.’ His capacity to facilitate, teach and guide people through varying inner landscapes is outstanding.”
~ Robyn E Lee Dip Astro (FAA) Foundation Member of Association of Professional Astrologers
“Daniel’s training transformed my life. It helped me to let go and trust in life and myself. The experience was cathartic and took me deep within, peeling back many layers of guilt, shame and pain. It healed some of my deepest wounds and moved me into a space of self acceptance and love. Daniel has a presence where you feel safe, supported and validated. He is pioneering an amazing journey into the self.”
~ Tracey Sanzone, Counsellor and Therapeutic Healer
“I can truly say that participating in the Experiential Astrology Training was the most healing and transformative journey of my life. The breadth and depth of Daniel’s astrological and psychospiritual knowledge and wisdom provided a profoundly sacred and safe container in that enabled me to explore and open to a much deeper level of understanding of self and others. I feel deeply grateful to have had the experience of working with a healer and teacher who walks the path of the wounded healer with such integrity, heart and compassion, and being able to work as a practitioner of Experiential Astrologer is such a gift.”
~ Dilara, Western Australia
“I’ve been a long time explorer of sacred space, for the inquiry of self, to unravel and heal limiting belief systems and wounding, to arise to the call to be of service to the great mother, earth. A significant portion of that journey has involved experiential astrology and working with Daniel, in a range of extraordinary ways – one on one and groups, in a variety of spaces in different locations around Australia including the desert.
This particular weekend felt like a culmination of all that has been to date (and it has been many years!), made possible by the incredible safety woven and held by Daniel and Chandu and the expanded magic created, allowing the depth and wisdom to rise up and unfold, exceptional and profound.
Thank you both for your unbridled commitment to the evolution of the soul, that all beings love and be loved.”
~ Donalea Patman OA, Director of For the Love of Wildlife Conservation Charity
Testimonials from Astrology Readings
“I offer my deepest thanks for the reading you provided. It truly felt like an altered state while receiving the transmission of profound guidance. So much clarification and confirmation of bizarre, multidimensional experiences and sensations I have been gradually integrating, with many intensely challenging periods, for a long time. On every level, thank you so much for this gift.”
~ Louise, Melbourne
“The reading you did, is such a fascinating journey of past, present and future. With its many high’s and low’s, I aim to be more accepting of life as it comes. I’m looking more for the lesson than feeling like the victim. I am so impressed by your process of holding so much information, yet being able to decipher and deliver it in such an approachable and personal way. I listen to the reading at night before going to sleep and every time keep hearing new Insights. Ridiculously grateful!”
~ Amanda, Perth
“Almost everything you said resonated strongly, except for the bits about some of the Gods/Goddesses because I have no knowledge of them. I felt like you were talking in to me, and not to me. I sat like a sponge on the chair, absorbing every word and listening with my heart. It was emotional to hear you talk of the conception, of my birth, the trauma and also the positive energies around at the time.”
~Kate, Perth
“I have been completely wowed by what you have to say and your interpretation has opened up avenues of awareness and thought that I would never have predicted and has explained so much about my interactions with the world and with myself, particularly in the area of relationship. Totally fascinating when you bring the asteroid goddesses into the picture. Their subtle power and mystery are already coming alive and I am already getting a sense of something new arriving. I can totally see how vital it is that I start embodying these powerful aspects of my chart.”
~ Caitlin Sydney
Testimonials from the 6 Session Series of Astrology Readings
” I recently completed 6 sessions with Daniel held via Zoom and exploring the Sacred Masculine. My intention was to get real with myself, especially around the masculine stuff I’d inherited from my family and that was keeping me from connecting with my family in the ways I wanted to.
The 6 sessions of Primal Astrology built each week into a body of work that allowed me to unpack my masculine woundings and ‘issues’, while also embracing the feminine side of things that I had been previously unable to explore. These sessions were so beneficial for me as a result of Daniel’s astrological expertise, his ability to hold space in experiential work and his own lived experience of sacred masculinity. The work was challenging at times but I always felt safe, and am grateful to have had the chance to ‘go there’ with somebody who understands not only the therapeutic space, but also the larger cosmic implications the work.
I highly recommend Daniel and this series for those who want to explore how they can be more real with themselves and more available to those they love. The 6 session format was just right to experientially connect with my core masculine/feminine dynamics and I have found deeper a connection and better communication in my relationship as a result.”
~ Allan, spiritual entrepreneur. New Zealand
“Daniel’s work is both powerful and gentle simultaneously. He is patient, reassuring and was able to dig into what was most important to focus on when i was unsure or floating around a variety of themes, he was always able to draw the threads out and give clarity and focus to our sessions. I felt comfortable and respected and held in the space created despite it being on line. I experienced significant energetic shifts with the people around me in unexpected ways from the archetypal embodied work. I also experienced a significant shift on a particular family issue with which i have struggled for many many years, had counseling regarding ad-nauseum, done significant amounts of embodied practices around without feeling the same softening, moving on and acceptance around as I came to with a single session with Daniel.
His attunement with astrology is inspiring. A reading is like the joining of many dots in the story, the lesson and influences current, past and future for this lifetime and many preceding.”
~ Nina, Speech Therapist and Yoga Teacher, Darwin
Testimonials from India Goddess and Sacred Marriage Tours
“Daniel Sowelu is a Practitioner, Teacher, Mentor of the Highest order. I cannot recommend him more. He carries great knowledge & mileage in his work … his love and quiet, but deeply held passion shines through in his every moment. His integrity shines and his care runs deep. Many kudos to you dear Daniel Sowelu.”
~ Juliet, Goddess Tour Participant, from Oregon USA
“Anyone who has thought of travelling to the motherland, or felt to really connect with the spiritual potential of their own God/Goddess essence, this is a profoundly enriching guided experience. This tour is well organized, extremely supportive and experiential in all aspects. I have journeyed with Daniel on this tour and my soul has expanded profoundly as a result. I have a much deeper understanding and connection with both my inner masculine and feminine, and the powerful intimacy we all share with the ancient and sacred Gods and Goddesses.”
~ Jack Miller, Goddess Tour Participant, from Melbourne Australia
“My trip to India with Daniel was a gift to myself for my 50th birthday. I knew I was going to enjoy it because it promised a combination of a lot of things I love ~ experiential astrology, the fascinating country & cultures of India, time immersed in the presence of the Goddess, mystery and adventure! However, my experience far exceeded my expectations and I can honesty say it was one of the most powerful and significant journeys of my life.
From the moment we arrived in the village of Ganeshpuri, I felt at home, safe and welcome. Our lovely host family made us feel like family, and we were treated to their warm, generous hospitality with great care and love for our entire stay. I was delighted with their delicious home-cooked meals and the simple, comfortable accommodation. It was a joy to wake up in the morning to the sounds of the village stirring, to hear the buffalo herd moving through the streets and then to drink their fresh milk at breakfast time. I loved staying in the village and we got to spend good quality time there getting to know some of the locals, visiting local temples, witnessing village life, joining in with the local Navratri ceremonies and celebrations, including dancing in the streets at night. When we went walking into the countryside, I felt like I’d stepped into “The Jungle Book” and was able to connect deeply with the land. Swimming in the river was fun and the hot spring baths were a real treat!
It was a joy to travel with other pilgrims who were also on their own paths of healing and transformation. We shared a lot of laughs and learned a lot about ourselves and each other. Daniel prepared us well for our temple visits and it was wonderful to be immersed in the energies of the different Goddesses through chanting, meditation and experiential astrology sessions. Daniel was also a fantastic tour leader. He generously shared his knowledge of Indian & Hindu culture, his passion for the deities was infectious, and his fearless dedication to the unique healing work of experiential astrology was a real gift as we explored the many faces of the Goddess. For me, the overall experience was deep, exhilarating, profound and liberating. I can’t recommend it highly enough!”
~ Anne-Marie Hoyne, Goddess Tour participant, Perth West Australia
