Ontodelic Inquiry is a somatic modality, my Husband Roger & I cultivated, that explores the depths of our body, (soma), sentience, patterns, and being to efficiently complete cycles and reveal new ways of being.

 

What does ‘Ontodelic’ mean? Greek word ‘Ontos’ meaning "a being, individual; being, existence.” Delous in Greek means “to reveal, to shine forth, to make visible.” So an ontodelic is the revelation of being, the unfolding of being. And it carries a shared root with the word psychedelic, which is the revealing of the psyche. 

 

Now there are many ways to look at our experience,  and we hold several very important ways: psychological (developmental, many models, needs, relational), phenomonological (mythopoetic, signs), scientific (neuroscience, chemical map, brain map), shamanic (Medicine wheel), and metaphysical (chakras map, dimensions, energy, Diamond Approach). We ground our approach in all 5 and hold them all to be vital ways to interpret our experience and be able to hold the paradox of different views of experience being simultaneously true and yet even possibly contradictory and still both true.
